It seems a foreshadowing now that the world has seen the biggest pandemic in a century, and so it carries a new sort of meaning. When it was written the lyrics mare simply about being locked out of the Uk because Zac had his passport Lost/stolen in Spain. Within that sits a reference to the embassy that is kind of like the part of your brain that is inaccessible. And so the mask is then the edifice for being a person in your own mind, but there is two faces because there are two versions. One extremely evil and the other extremely good masks, attempting to access the inaccessible parts of the mind. The thematic structure poses questions about wealth, mental health and ageing.
Mask
Lyrics
Well which one should I trust
The one on my face
Or the one that's covered in dust
I'm locked out of my own embassy
Guess I didn't have the right
Lock or key
Never wanted to be rich
Cause I always thought I'd die in a ditch
Theres no escape getting older
Got the world on your shoulders
Got the world on your shoulders
Well which one should I trust
The one on my face
Or the one that's covered in dust
I'm locked out of my own embassy
Guess I didn't have the right
Lock or key
Theres no escape getting older
Got the world on your shoulders
Got the world on your shoulders
