Masquerade
Stellar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna rock the boat
Feel like I'm about to drown
I'm walking on an empty road
I'm the only one around

Every day I'm wide awake
Counting my mistakes duplicating
Honestly, I'm afraid to lose

You think you know me
What's right and what's wrong
When I feel lonely

I like to hide away
Da-da, da-da
Behind my masquerade
Da-da, da-da

I wish that I could change
You wouldn't know I'm insane
Behind my masquerade
Da-da, da-da

I've been on a walk through Hell
I don't know who lit the fire
Feeling like an empty shell
I think that I might be dying

Every day I'm wide awake
Counting my mistakes duplicating
Honestly, I'm afraid to lose

You think you know me
What's right and what's wrong
When I feel lonely

I like to hide away
Da-da, da-da
Behind my masquerade
Da-da, da-da

I wish that I could change
You wouldn't know I'm insane




Behind my masquerade
Da-da, da-da
