Masquerade
Natures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mirror shows a different man to the one I used to be
When the voice inside begins and the walls are closing in
Screaming out for company, I question my own sanity
Looking from the inside out
I feel so alone
Drowning in my own self doubt
I feel so alone
I feel so alone
Masquerading, pretending
I feel so alone
All my feelings caged inside never knowing which ones are coming
Trying not to let my pride stop me from telling someone
Of all the pain inside
A tear falls from my eye
The burning in my veins turns pleasure into pain
Looking from the inside out
I feel so alone
Drowning in my own self doubt
I feel so alone
Feeling like it's never ending
I feel so alone
Masquerading, pretending
I feel so alone
Looking from the inside out
I feel so alone
Drowning in my own self doubt
I feel so alone
Feeling like it's never ending
I feel so alone
Masquerading, pretending
I feel so alone
The lyrics to Nature's song "Masquerade" depict a deep sense of isolation and internal struggle. The singer reflects on their own transformation, feeling trapped and disconnected from themselves.
