Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sippin' blood like I'm a vampire
Taste like codeine, drippin' on me
Masquerade now where's the coke line
Playing bloodlines, where's that clapback
Feel like Dracula way I scare you
Cry for help but I can't hear you
Getting high off serotonin
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Catch your skin right on my fang
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Soon you'll know what is my name
Masquerade, masquerade
Masquerade, masquerade
Mortal souls is what I crave
Seek them out now one by one
Droppin' bodies like a nun
Two twin Glocks name Bonnie and Clyde
Slide through roofs like I'm Tom Cruise
I think I'm fine, please just leave
Walk around like I can't see
I'm fly like a bat, can track your tracks
They see my face, get a heart attack
Sippin' blood like I'm a vampire
Taste like codeine, drippin' on me
Masquerade now where's the coke line
Playing bloodlines, where's that clapback
Feel like Dracula way I scare you
Cry for help but I can't hear you
Now you part of my blood omen
Getting high off serotonin
Sippin' blood like I'm a vampire
Taste like codeine, drippin' on me
Masquerade now where's the coke line
Playing bloodlines, where's that clapback
Feel like Dracula way I scare you
Cry for help but I can't hear you
Now you part of my blood omen
Getting high off serotonin
Sioux get it together
I'm losing my mental
They talking about you
They planning to use you
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
Sippin' blood like I'm a vampire
Taste like codeine, drippin' on me
Masquerade now where's the coke line
Playing bloodlines, where's that clapback
Feel like Dracula way I scare you
Cry for help but I can't hear you
Now you part of my blood omen
Getting high off serotonin
Sippin' blood like I'm a vampire
Taste like codeine, drippin' on me
Masquerade now where's the coke line
Playing bloodlines, where's that clapback
Feel like Dracula way I scare you
Cry for help but I can't hear you
Now you part of my blood omen
Getting high off serotonin
The lyrics of Siouxxxie's song "Masquerade" evoke a dark and eerie feeling, with references to vampires, blood, and masquerades. The song seems to be about the singer's feeling of being a monster, and their addiction to the feeling of power they get from drinking blood and scaring people. Throughout the song, the singer uses imagery of vampires and masquerades to describe their actions, such as "Playing bloodlines" and "Catch your skin right on my fang." The use of the phrase "Masquerade now where's the coke line" suggests that the singer is also addicted to drugs, further adding to the feeling of being out of control.
The chorus of the song is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the idea of the singer hiding behind a mask or facade, just like at a masquerade party. The use of the phrase "Now you part of my blood omen" suggests that the singer is somehow taking their victims' power or lives through drinking their blood, and that their actions have a larger significance beyond just their own personal addiction.
Overall, Siouxxxie's "Masquerade" is a haunting and powerful song that explores themes of addiction, power, and the feeling of being a monster.
