Mindgame Masquerade
Highland Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no I never invited them in
To take a hold of my soul, oh no
When I am waiting for me to be mortal
I have a lot of sins to repent
I can't wait for the afterlife to take me by the neck
And into the forsaken places I have never been
As I'm living this mind game masquerade
As I'm living this mind game masquerade
Spitting me in the face, you bastards!
You will regret if I never provoked you to
Be anything that you are, oh no
Oh no, I'm laughing but inside I'm crying
Is this the truth of my life, oh no?
I can't wait for this day
To end the things wont ever be the same
Got my may into real life
Behind my mask lies fear
I am living this mind game masquerade
The lyrics of Highland Glory's song Mindgame Masquerade express the internal struggle of the singer as they fall into the temptation of sin. The singer acknowledges their own wrongdoing and the responsibility of their actions. They feel as if they have invited sin into their life, but also recognize that it is their own choice. The singer describes waiting for mortality to come, with a sense of shame and repentance for the sins they've committed.
The singer then shifts to a desire for the afterlife, specifically the underworld, and their willingness to face the consequences for their actions. They are living a "mind game masquerade," in which they are hiding behind a mask and pretending to be someone they are not. The singer's frustration is apparent as they address those who are judging and mocking them, but they continue to wear a facade of laughter while inside they are crying. The song ends with the singer looking forward to the end of this day, in which they can remove their mask and face their fears.
The lyrics showcase the themes of temptation, sin, repentance, and the struggle to find internal peace. The singer is open about their self-inflicted pain and their desire to grow and evolve. The song is a reminder that sometimes we must confront our deepest fears in order to become the person we truly want to be.
