Masquerade
Mila Jam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something 'bout the way you're moving, you're moving
You said you're hanging out, hanging out, hanging out
But you're lying, you're lying
I don't recognize the man that's before me wearing that disguise (ha)
There's something 'bout, something 'bout
Something 'bout the way you're moving, you're moving
Got me like a fool watching your show
And believing it, believing it
The masquerade
You're hiding all the lies and
I'm not afraid of nothing
Time to let you go
'Cause I'm so sick of regret and the masquerade
There's something 'bout, something 'bout
Something 'bout the things you're saying, you're saying
They got me thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
Thinking 'bout the games you're playing, you're playing
I don't recognize the man that's before me wearing that disguise
There's something 'bout, something 'bout
Something 'bout the way you're moving, you're moving
Oh, I don't wanna do this anymore
Got me like a fool watching your show
And believing it, believing it
The masquerade
You're hiding all the lies and
I'm not afraid of nothing
Time to let you go
'Cause I'm so sick of regret and the masquerade
A stranger in my head
A stranger in my bed
I don't know you anymore
A stranger in my head
A stranger in my bed
I don't know you anymore
Oh (the masquerade)
(You're hiding all the lies and) lies and
I'm not afraid of nothing (I'm not afraid of nothing)
The masquerade (oh the masquerade)
You're hiding all the lies and (hiding all the lies and)
I'm not afraid of nothing (I'm not afraid)
Time to let you go (let you go)
'Cause I'm so sick (so sick)
Of regret (regret)
And the masquerade
The masquerade
You're hiding in the masquerade
I'm not afraid of the masquerade
The lyrics to Mila Jam's song Masquerade is a powerful statement about the concept of hiding oneself or keeping oneself hidden. In this song, Mila Jam explores the idea of a masquerade ball, where people wear masks and paint their faces, to hide their true identity and intentions.

The first verse talks about the way a person is moving and behaving, and the realization that they are lying. Mila Jam emphasizes that she doesn't recognize the person before her, and the use of a mask or disguise is a metaphor for how they have been hiding their true identity. The second verse talks about the things that the person is saying, and the way they are playing games. Mila Jam again expresses her dissatisfaction with the situation, and the chorus serves as a culmination of her feelings.
Overall, Mila Jam's song Masquerade is a powerful and relatable statement about the need for honesty and authenticity in relationships. By comparing the situation to a masquerade ball, she brings to light the idea that people often hide behind a façade and keep their true selves hidden.
