Reese LAFLARE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Face myself and I got a million things to be
Always in the mirror but you got a million things to see
What's your fantasy
Tell me what you dreamin'
I wanna know your fears
But you hide them from
What, you don't want me to see?
Stop pretending
Your intentions
I know you're paranoid
I'm assumin'
I been through things
Tell me something
Is this all a masquerade to you?
Is this all a masquerade to you?
Is this all a masquerade to you?
Is this all a masquerade to you?
It's all a funny game until somebody get hurt
It's been said and done according to you, girl
Who's the real killer, me or you?
Take the mask off, this ain't that type of party
You get high, I'm still seeing you regardless
Forget the past, real niggas gon' disregard it
Got your heart up on your sleeve and you wearin' it probably
I know when times is bad, it feels like you're drowning
Trust me, take a leap let's free fall in
I see it in your eyes
I know you're paranoid
I'm assumin'
I been through things
Tell me something
Is this all a masquerade to you?
Is this all a masquerade to you?
Is this all a masquerade to you?
Is this all a masquerade to you?
The lyrics of Reese LAFLARE's song "Masquerade" delve into the complexities of relationships and the masks people wear to conceal their true selves. The song explores the notion that everyone is juggling various roles and responsibilities in their lives, and sometimes, these masks prevent people from showing their vulnerabilities.
The opening lines, "Gone in the days, and I got a million things to do," suggest a busy and hectic lifestyle. The singer acknowledges that they are constantly facing themselves but also acknowledge the multitude of things they need to be. It reflects the pressure to fulfill expectations and meet societal standards.
The chorus poses the question, "Is this all a masquerade to you?" This query alludes to the façade that the person the singer is addressing may be projecting. The singer desires to know the person's fears and dreams but believes they are hiding them. The use of the word "pretentious" implies that the person is not being genuine or honest about themselves.
The second verse challenges the person's hidden motives and intentions. The singer suggests that both parties may be paranoid and assumes that they have both been through difficult experiences. They question whether the relationship is merely a masquerade, a game where true emotions and intentions are concealed.
Overall, "Masquerade" illustrates a desire for authenticity in a relationship, urging the other person to remove their mask and be truthful about who they are. It addresses the complexities and insecurities that can arise when individuals hide behind their facades, ultimately questioning the authenticity of the connection.
