Masquerade
Umii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
俺たちは本当に幸せなのか
With this lonely game we play
こんなむなしいゲームになんて興じて
Looking for words to say
言葉を探し
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
どこを探しても 理解できない
We′re lost in a masquerade
俺たちは仮面舞踏会で彷徨う迷子なのさ
Both afraid to say we're just to far away
俺たちの心が離れて行っているんだって 口にするのも恐ろしいんだ
From being close together from the start
俺たちが親密だった最初のころから
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
俺たちは話し合おうとしていたけど 言葉に詰まってしまう
We′re lost inside this lonely game we play
俺たちはこのむなしいゲームから抜け出せなくなった
Thoughts of weeping disappear
泣くことすら諦めてしまったよ
Every time I see your eyes
君の瞳を見るといつだって
No matter how hard I try
どれほど苦しんでも
To understand the reasons
ずっと理由を探し続けているんだ
That we carry on this way
俺たちがこのままずるずると引きずっている理由を
We're lost in a masquerade
俺たちは仮面舞踏会で彷徨う迷子なんだ
The song "Masquerade" by Umii is a poignant ode to a relationship that has lost its way. The lyrics question whether the couple is truly happy with the 'lonely game' they are playing. The singer is searching for words and understanding but can't seem to find them. The certainty of their emotional connection has now disappeared, leaving them lost like 'Masquerade' participants.
The singer is afraid to admit that they are too far apart from each other, a distance that has widened since they were intimately together at the beginning. They have tried to talk it over but the words seemed to have failed them, leaving the couple playing the same lonely game. They have lost sight of why they are continuing like this, making them feel like they are wandering amongst the crowd in a 'Masquerade.'
In summary, "Masquerade" is a beautiful yet heartbreaking song about a love lost in translation. The lyrics express the frustration, sadness, and confusion of two people who are unable to communicate and find a way back to each other.

Are we really happy here
Do we truly feel content and joy in this situation?
With this lonely game we play
By engaging in this empty, meaningless activity
Looking for words to say
Searching for the proper way to express ourselves
Searching but not finding
Trying but failing to locate
Understanding anywhere
Not able to comprehend or make sense of anything
We're lost in a masquerade
We wander about like lost souls in a gathering of people wearing disguises
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
The two of us are fearful of admitting that we've grown too distant
From being close together from the start
From the time we were once inseparable
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We have made attempts at dialogue, but communication obstacles have arisen
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
We are stuck within this hollow game we partake in and unable to break free
Thoughts of weeping disappear
Even the desire to cry has vanished
Every time I see your eyes
Anytime I look into your eyes
No matter how hard I try
Regardless of how much effort I exert
To understand the reasons
To figure out the motives
That we carry on this way
Why we continue to behave in this manner
We're lost in a masquerade
We are adrift in a sea of roles and disguises
