There was never a time in recent memory when everyone we know suddenly become phantoms, as we are to them. The entire world placed on a curfew, lock down, socially distanced and emotionally isolated. The impact of recent events will far outlast the so called invisible enemy of which we have become terrified.
Masquerade by Doxter S tells the story from an all too familiar perspective. We are all trapped but desperately crave freedom. The melody is sweet but the lyrics are biting. The chord changes build up to an emotionally charged bridge and defiant chorus.
Lyrics
When the music stops Everybody dancing please just keep your mask on Keep your gloves on And just walk away I don't want to talk Really feeling distant from the life that I knew Feeling so blue Like to fade away And every time I try to remember why I just can't hold back the tears I think about the ways in the good old days when we never had such fears Want to go back in time, we were doing fine, want to stay outside, let me feel the sunshine We're Masquerading We're Isolating This social distance Is so frustrating This is Degrading Not Liberating We're imitating We're Masquerading Going for a walk I am feeling social and I just want to talk Take the mask off Leave my hideaway When the madness stops Everybody living please just keep your head on Make yourself strong Everything's Okay Recall the good old days With our social ways When we never had these fears Let's all go back in time We were doing fine For so many, many years We all can stay outside In the bright sunshine We'll be feeling fine We can write the headline Stop masquerading It was stagnating The social distance Needs some updating It was degrading Not liberating Let's put a stop to The masquerading I want to stay outside don't want to hide I've got my life to live With all the people I've been missing they have so much love to give Anticipating our liberating the social distance is quickly fading We are parading and serenading for human comfort that we are craving We are not waiting we are creating the social fabric of our own making Let's stop debating procrastinating let's put a stop to the masquerading When the music stops Everybody dancing please just take your mask off Take your gloves off Live your life your way
