The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics

My blue horizon is turning grey
And my dreams are drifting away

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes

You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes

You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

What is the Meaning of The Masquerade Is Over?

In the haunting echoes of a once-vibrant love, this song weaves a tale of realization and resignation. As the initial blaze of passion dims to embers, the protagonists face the stark truth that their love's luster has faded. The lyrics poignantly capture the heartache of clinging to the familiar façade while acknowledging that everything has irrevocably changed. The metaphorical masquerade ball has ended, leaving behind only empty masks and forgotten dreams. Through soulful introspection, they must don the clown's disguise, learning to navigate a world where laughter rings hollow and smiles conceal sorrow 🎭. This is not just a breakup song; it's an elegy for lost illusions and a guidebook for finding grace in letting go.
