Masquerade by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs now available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music

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
