Background
Masks is an original work by moonst4r featuring KAITO. It is a slow-paced rock song. An interpretation of the song tells about one's efforts to fit in society by pretending to be someone else, and his wish to put an end to this pretend.
This song is part of ABCD423: A Birthday CD for Niisan, the second edition of the free digital album made to celebrate KAITO's 11th anniversary.
Lyrics
Hiding behind a mask not showing who I am
Looking like I don't care and I don't give a damn
Is this how others really want to see me?
If I keep this up they will just let me be
This is pretend, it is the mask I wear
Why can't I throw it out? It's a nightmare
Will they ever get to see the true me?
I am a big lie
It's this mask I use to conceal myself and I
Am just a liar I can admit
I want so bad to be free of it
But why am I so afraid to quit?
Reality is pretty cruel why must people judge?
I don't know but it shows how life can really be like though
Honestly I just want to be accepted but I
Want to try, head held high, and tell this stupid mask goodbye
Come on and tell me who will accept the real me
Nothing but a coward who can't say what they mean
If I take my mask off can I join society?
Or will I be cast aside as worthless and disgusting?
This is painful, I don't know what to do
I just don't want to face the ridicule
Do I have to act like I'm someone else?
I can't take much more
It's this mask I use to conceal myself and I
Am just a liar I can admit
I want so bad to be free of it
But why am I so afraid to quit?
Reality is pretty cruel why must people judge?
I don't know but it shows how life can really be like though
Honestly I just want to be accepted but I
Want to try, head held high, and tell this stupid mask goodbye
Time and time again
Deep breath, count to ten
I must rest my eyes
I will break this mask
Will it be worth it?
Though I must admit
All I really want
Is to live my life
Aaah...
It's this mask I use to conceal myself and I
Am just a liar I can admit
I want so bad to be free of it
But why am I so afraid to quit?
Reality is pretty cruel why must people judge?
I don't know but it shows how life can really be like though
Honestly I just want to be accepted but I
Want to try, head held high, and tell this stupid mask goodbye
