Masquerade
Valensia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one ever will see me cry
No one ever will make me lie

A deja-vu, cyanic moon
I'm in a cocoon of irenical silk, tonight
of iridescent butterflies.

Down at dust under cumulus clouds
they start to form.

Twister dropping out of the sky.
I'm dreaming the day we die.

White whirling winds entwine
bursting out of the clouds

Temerarious tempest eyes.
Escaping the truth
as soon as the sun breaks through.

Behind the masquerade, no one ever will
see we cry,
no one ever will make me lie,
behind the mask I made.
Behind the masquerade, no one ever will hear me sigh,
no one ever will watch me die,
behind the masquerade
lies the truth.

Impious sights incredible heights
dazed by the deep when the shallow only shows

another white, withering rose.

Mean machines make you speak unclean
eating your cerebellum as the people
could only snide
while shadows are on they side.

White whirling winds entwine
bursting out of the clouds
temerarious tempest eyes.
Escaping the truth
as soon as the sun breaks through.

Behind the masquerade, no one ever will see we cry,
no one ever will make me lie,
behind the mask I made.
Behind the masquerade, no one ever will
hear me sigh,
no one ever will watch me die,
behind the masquerade
lies the truth.

White whirling winds entwine
bursting out of the clouds
temerarious tempest eyes.
Escaping the truth
as soon as the sun breaks through.

Behind the masquerade, no one ever will see we cry,
no one ever will make me lie,
behind the mask I made.
Behind the masquerade, no one ever will
hear me sigh,
no one ever will watch me die,




behind the masquerade
lies the truth.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Valensia's "Masquerade" speak to the desire to hide one's true emotions and self from the world. The singer declares that no one will ever see them cry or make them lie. The imagery in the first verse involves a "cocoon of irenical silk" and "iridescent butterflies," suggesting the idea of transformation and beauty in the midst of turmoil. However, the second verse takes a darker turn with the appearance of "twisters dropping out of the sky" and the longing for death.


As the song progresses, the singer continues to describe the turbulent and unpredictable nature of life, filled with "impius sights" and "temerarious tempest eyes." They also reference the idea of societal pressure to conform, with "mean machines" making people speak "unclean" and eating away at their true selves. The chorus repeats the idea of the masquerade, the mask that the singer has created to hide their true emotions and thoughts. In the end, the truth lies behind the masquerade, but no one will ever see it.
