Masquerade
Maddison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a walk around in my mind
Feel free, help yourself
To any feeling I have left
We play, each game
Every time it feels the same
The cracks, the voids
We break as they destroy
This life in ashes I won't learn
Masquerade
Paint on a different face
You hide, I'll seek
Gonna bring you to your knees
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Don't say, the end
No way they'll break or bend
The freaks, decide
Who makes it out alive
They creep, they crawl
They'll keep you if you fall
Don't scream, don't cry
If you wanna make it out alive
I've stood and watched the castles burn
This life in ashes I won't learn
Masquerade
Paint on a different face
You hide, I'll seek
Gonna bring you to your knees
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Masquerade
Paint on a different face
You hide, I'll seek
Gonna bring you to your knees
Masquerade
Paint on a different face
You hide, I'll seek
Gonna bring you to your knees
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
In "Masquerade," Maddison sings about a game of psychological torment that she is trapped in. The singer is the victim of someone's mind games, and she is left feeling broken and trying to heal herself. She invites the listener to take a walk around her mind, which is an indication that her situation is complex and not easily understood. Her emotions are worn on her sleeve, and she holds nothing back, giving the listener a sense that she is desperate for help. However, she also acknowledges that she is responsible for this situation, willingly playing the games that have brought her here.
The chorus "Masquerade, paint on a different face, you hide, I'll seek, gonna bring you to your knees" references the concept of a masquerade ball. Everyone is wearing a mask, hiding their true identity, and playing the game of delusion. The singer is aware of the high stakes and suggests that she will do whatever it takes to unmask the people playing games with her. She also suggests that once unmasked, she will attempt to bring them to their knees, which speaks to her vengeful nature.
Overall, "Masquerade" is a dark and powerful song, exploring themes of pain, deception, and the dark psychological games that we play on ourselves and others.
Line by Line Meaning
Crazy, inside
I feel like I'm going crazy on the inside
Take a walk around in my mind
Try to see things from my perspective
Feel free, help yourself
You can explore my emotions if you want to
To any feeling I have left
There's not much left, but you can try to find them
We play, each game
We keep repeating the same patterns
Every time it feels the same
We never seem to learn from our mistakes
The cracks, the voids
The flaws and emptiness inside us
We break as they destroy
Our flaws and emptiness leave us vulnerable to be destroyed
I've stood and watched the castles burn
I've witnessed my dreams and hopes crumble
This life in ashes I won't learn
I refuse to accept defeat or change
Masquerade
We hide our true selves behind a mask
Paint on a different face
We present a different version of ourselves to the world
You hide, I'll seek
I'll search for the truth beneath the facade
Gonna bring you to your knees
I'll reveal your true nature and bring you down
Welcome to the show
Welcome to our deceptive world
Don't say, the end
Don't give up hope
No way they'll break or bend
We won't let ourselves be defeated
The freaks, decide
The outsiders are in charge now
Who makes it out alive
Not everyone will survive this struggle
They creep, they crawl
The obstacles are constantly lurking and crawling towards us
They'll keep you if you fall
If you make a mistake, they will take advantage of your weakness
Don't scream, don't cry
Don't show any signs of weakness
If you wanna make it out alive
Only the strong will survive this game
