Shortly after reforming as a four-piece, which saw the departure of our synth player, this single was birthed after regaining our mojo and getting back into a proper studio, finding a new direction, or perhaps rekindling an old one.
Masquerade is about the faces people put on, the pretence; the grinning and bearing.
From a simple bassline jammed out in our rehearsal space, to what is possibly our most well constructed song yet; we hope you enjoy.
Recorded over Summer '19 at Studio Truth, Collingwood.
lyrics
Taken aside, thinking you might as well
Maybe you’ll slowly wait, making the same mistakes
Tried to forget, memories of a time
when it was crystal clear, now it’s all left behind
Thinking of you now even when you’ve gone away
Thinking of you now even though you pulled away, away, away
So we made a masquerade
Take the pain and slide away, yeah
Taken aside, maybe you might as well
Where do we draw the line?
Feelings you undermine
How did you go, caught in the undertow
Trying to find a ghost, gone in the setting sun
Thinking of you now even when you’ve gone away
Give in to you now even though you never change, never change
So we made a masquerade
Take the pain and slide away, yeah
Away yeah
Away
Never in motion
Never in motion
Never in motion
Where are we going
So we made
All the same
I decay
Oh we made
Oh
