Masquerade
Euphoria Bolshiee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Play of virtues
Forced to face our fears
Overblown reflections
c house of glass
Becomes a hall of mirrors
Lies that ring true
Echo through the years
Undertone of tension
Dissonance that we can play by ear

Ooo
Life is war in a masquerade
Such a beautiful mess we've made
Ooo
Life is war in the masquerade
Such a beautiful mess...

Play of virtues,
So self-righteous,
Truth or dare to burn.
I know the old expression:
I think it's safe to say
We'll never learn.

Ooo
Life is war in a masquerade
Such a beautiful mess we've made
Ooo
Life is war in the masquerade
Such a beautiful mess...

Ooo
Life is war in a masquerade
Ooo




Life is war in the masquerade
Such a beautiful mess

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Masquerade" by Euphoria Bolshiee delve into the complex themes of self-deception, pretense, and the masks we wear in society. The opening lines present a vivid imagery of a distorted reality, where virtues are played as a facade, forcing individuals to confront their deepest fears within a fragile house of glass that reflects exaggerated versions of themselves. The lyrics suggest that the lies we tell, even if they seem believable, reverberate through time, creating an undertone of tension and dissonance that shapes our interactions.


The chorus of the song captures the essence of life being akin to a war within a masquerade, a metaphor for the constant battle between authenticity and deception in human relationships. The repetition of the phrase "Such a beautiful mess we've made" emphasizes the irony and complexity of the situations we find ourselves in, where the beauty of illusions and facades obscures the underlying chaos and conflict within.


The second paragraph delves deeper into the dichotomy of virtues and self-righteousness, highlighting the hypocrisy and self-delusion that often accompany moral posturing. The reference to playing "Truth or dare to burn" suggests the risky game we play when confronted with harsh realities that challenge our comfortable illusions. The repeated sentiment that "We'll never learn" points to a cycle of repeating the same mistakes and perpetuating the masquerade of falsehoods.


The final lines of the song echo the earlier sentiments, reinforcing the idea that life is a continuous struggle within the confines of societal expectations and personal masks. The repetition of "Such a beautiful mess" serves as a poignant reminder of the tangled web of contradictions and illusions that define our existence, painting a picture of a world where war and pretense intermingle in a captivating yet destructive dance. Ultimately, "Masquerade" by Euphoria Bolshiee masterfully captures the complexity of human nature and the perpetual battle between authenticity and artifice in the theater of life.
