Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you feel me watching you?
It′s magic then I'm lost in your spell
But you don′t even have a clue
That I 'am hypnotized yeah
I'm drawn to your eyes
I just wanna see your face
Masquerade
Who are you?
What is your name?
Is this a two-faced game?
It′s tragic ′cuz after tonight
My heart will never be the same
And I 'am hypnotized yeah
I′m drawn to your eyes
I just wanna see your face
Welcome to my Masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
I just wanna see your face

Masquerade
The lyrics of Robosoul's song "Masquerade" depict a story of someone who is captivated by an unknown person at a masquerade party. The character hides behind a disguise and watches the subject of their affection from afar, feeling drawn to their spell. The feeling is mutual but the identity of the person remains unknown. The singer is hypnotized and drawn to the eyes of the person, who remains masked, yet they long to see the face behind the disguise. They question their identity and wonder if it is all just a two-faced game. After the party, their heart will never be the same, emphasizing the deep impact the mysterious person has on them.
The song is relatable to many as it reflects the human experience of being fascinated by a person beyond their physical appearance. The lyrics express the singer's longing for the other person beyond their mask, desiring to know the person beneath the facade. The chorus repeats the word "Masquerade," emphasizing the theme of the hidden identity and unreality of the given situation. The song perhaps speaks to the importance of being genuine and true to oneself and connecting with others beyond the surface level.
