Masquerade
Guruga Omega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
就算未知發生乜事
都想過返一啲 平凡既日子
但好似 早已 告示 呢個都市
今次 好難平安無事
十幾歲學生 拖手叫造反
殺人犯放生 眼前嘅荒誕
會獲頒國產既 好市民獎
但我想講嘅都講夠
我只係想可以 逃避社會嘅荒謬
寫多幾句歌詞 連黨鐵 都可以 封晒來藏屍
連警察 都放肆 變晒做喪屍
冇人性 唔鎮定 嘅軍警 睇清楚
人類劣根性 粉碎左嘅人性
心碎嘅心情 社會嘅文明
已經肯定 曾經 堪稱 繁榮嘅穩定
分明 係一個陷阱 眾人嘅心聲
只係想保留住保貴嘅生命
喺心靈 留低嘅陰影
係真正既香港人共同會擁有嘅感應
黑衫 眼罩 口罩 頭盔
得返 一班 死守 留低
唔知幾時 會比人一槍打死
Welcome to the masquerade
仲未明白 發完夢人間蒸法 連警察都目無法紀
慢半步會比人打死
啱先媽子打來 我話我好快就返來
Welcome to the masquerade
無理既制度 管制唔到靈魂
迫住一班細路 一晚長大成人
控制住思想 要洗腦 用支警棍
用支槍 迫人 睇新聞 睇到清晨
據聞 行衰運 路過都變罪人
冇乜居心 只係有一種抱負
就係要保護 身邊嘅女人
講到呢度
我只係想落街買打啤酒 飲到醉昏昏
世事睇唔透 邏輯思維需要緊急維修
唔知點接受 由批鬥 變滯留 變圍毆
開槍射心口 邊個能夠忍受
三五識七既一句問候 係因為心痛
塔返警局 四十八個鐘
受盡凌辱 明目張膽 保唔住雙眼
守唔住貞操 再比人強姦
出返來周身傷患
口講就相反 但再強硬
都好想喊
不禁 心諗 係咪越守死線
就越多人血流披面 幾多次經驗
有幾多人仍然 嗌到聲嘶力竭
係邊個話希望在明天
黑衫 眼罩 口罩 頭盔
得返 一班 死守 留低
唔知幾時 會比人一槍打死
Welcome to the masquerade
仲未明白 發完夢人間蒸法 連警察
都目無法紀 慢半步會比人打死
岩先媽子打來 我話我好快就返來
Welcome to the masquerade
試圖扭曲真相 嘅政治傀儡
街頭舉辦一場 蒙面派對
遮蓋面具 下嘅一絲眼淚
Welcome to the masquerade
試圖扭曲真相 嘅政治傀儡
街頭舉辦一場 蒙面派對
用面具去遮蓋不想面對既真相
煲底相見結束 Masquerade
The lyrics of Guruga Omega's song "Masquerade" touch on themes of societal unrest, disillusionment, and the struggle for identity in the face of oppressive forces. The opening lines depict a sense of physical and emotional exhaustion, a longing for simplicity and normalcy in a city that has already shown signs of danger and unrest. The lyrics then delve into a critique of the education system and the way society rewards ignorance and conformity. There is a sense of frustration and a desire to escape the absurdity and hypocrisy of the social order.
The song portrays a dark and dystopian reality, where the police and military are portrayed as lacking humanity and self-control. The breakdown of morality and the crumbling of civilization are highlighted, along with the impact on individuals' mental and emotional well-being. The lyrics suggest that this is not just an individual experience, but a collective feeling shared by the people of Hong Kong. The use of masks, symbols of disguise and concealment, further emphasizes the idea of a masquerade, where truth and identity are obscured or manipulated by those in power.
Overall, "Masquerade" challenges societal and political systems, questioning their legitimacy and the way they manipulate and control individuals. It conveys a feeling of frustration, anger, and a yearning for freedom and truth amidst a society that seems to be falling apart.

Enduring humiliation, unable to keep my eyes open

Returning with injuries all over my body
口講就相反 但再強硬
Saying the opposite of what they actually do, but still being strong

I really want to cry

I can't help but wonder if the more I stick to the line, the closer I am to death
就越多人血流披面 幾多次經驗
The more blood spills, the more experiences we have
有幾多人仍然 嗌到聲嘶力竭
How many people are still screaming until they're hoarse
係邊個話希望在明天
Who is the one hoping for tomorrow
試圖扭曲真相 嘅政治傀儡
The political puppets trying to distort the truth
街頭舉辦一場 蒙面派對
Holding a masked party on the streets
遮蓋面具 下嘅一絲眼淚
Covering the masks with a single tear
Welcome to the masquerade
Welcome to the masquerade
試圖扭曲真相 嘅政治傀儡
The political puppets trying to distort the truth
街頭舉辦一場 蒙面派對
Holding a masked party on the streets
用面具去遮蓋不想面對既真相
Using masks to cover up the truth they don't want to face
煲底相見結束 Masquerade
Meeting and ending at the bottom of the pot, Masquerade

@@hayond656 There are various interpretations.
Here is mine.
The briefest and most basic summary is there is an ignorant, arrogant, but highly feared young emperor. One that flew into a murderous rage even over the most miniscule of transgressions. One day, a shrew and sly merchant, aware of the young emperor's ignorance and pride, decides to deceive him by selling him magical clothes. How were the clothes magical? They were "invisible" and lighter than air. The emperor initially doesn't believe the merchant, but the merchant told him surely he, the magnificent emperor, sees the clothing as only the pure of heart and mighty in spirit can see these mystical garments. Not wanting to look like a wicked and weak man, the young emperor lies and says he can see the clothes after all and buys them for a hefty amount of purest gold. Immediately, the young emperor strips off his clothes, puts on the invisible clothing, and decides to parade them around the kingdom for all his subjects to see and to tell them only those pure of heart and mighty in spirit could behold his immaculate royal apparel. They do see. They see far more than they wanted, in fact. For in reality, the emperor was naked. The invisible clothing didn't exist. But fearing his wrath, the people pretended they could see his clothes as well. And that is where the term "The Emperor's New Clothes" comes from.
Nero is similar in terms of pridefulness in the sense that the front part of her dress is "invisible" (and even a bit in the back shows a bit of her butt), but she knows that it is see-through and shows it off willing because of her immeasurable pride in her perfect body. Hence how the young emperor and Nero are similar, yet different.

They can see through the skirt.
Nero: "Yes, you're welcome."
