Mon Masque

from On the Rebound by Drifting Sun

/

lyrics

You create an image
An image from your mind
Reflection of rejection
Commit the perfect crime
Can't let the truth escape from your head
And you won’t face it
Bury your head in sand
And you embrace it
Hiding away from it all…

Les murs de ton âme s’écroulent
Sous le masque ton visage brûle
To hear a conscience calling
From within another mask you hide

Mon masque dévoile de nombreux visages
Qui cachent ma peur latente
Mon esprit embué remplit les espaces
D’une realité cauchemar

My mask reveals many faces
Hiding the fear underneath
My mind fills empty spaces
Of a nightmare reality

Can’t you see pain from the traces?
Standing before hidden eyes
Phantom shapes, mystical places
Fulfill old prophecies

You can’t face the feeling
You can’t face yourself
Accepting of their jester
Security on a shelf

One… step… before I break
Two… more… I begin to shake…
Paranoid I begin to crawl behind… the façade
Repression is better than reality
Lose yourself, crawling out of dignity

One… step… before I break
Two… more… I begin to shake…
Paranoid I begin to crawl behind… the façade

Now tell me it’s all right, it’s ok
You can save your face for another day
Come out of hiding, try to believe
Don’t cast another wish in the well of deceit

I see that it’s not right
That look on my face
When you’re reasoning now
At the end of the day
Running for shelter, my reason for rhymes
Without this face a shell for emotions to hide…

(hiding) but now I have no place to go but face the fear
(reaching) for reason to this old rhyme
Justified insanity
(stirring) from the fears and doubts to realize the fool I am
(tearing) away this mask
My truth sees the light of day!

J’ai ouvert les portes vers un autre horizon
Un royaume dans lequel on voit
Tous les visages dans une mer de masques
