Welcome To The Masquerade

I coud go line by line to tell you exactly what this song means, but it is pretty simple to me. So many people hide behind masks of fake personalitites, but it is false. All of it is false, and not to be believed. And if you arent careful, you wont realize that life is all a masquerade to a point, so welcome to it and you are living it. Also, it is saying that you arent to be ashamed knowing that you are your true self, your beliefs, so stand up for them and stand strong.

Ok. I believe this song is saying that life is a masquerade, and that masquerades are for people who are ashamed of themselves, who they are and what they've done.

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame Welcome to the masquerade

Trevor is basically saying that he might be in the masquerade but he is not wearing a mask. He is showing his true self and he is saying that he is not afraid of being himself.

I'm not one to scatter ashes But there's some things that'll melt the plastic Try and dig down deeper if you can

He is also saying that there are things that will make it easier for you to show your true self. This song is saying to be genuine in a deceiving world.

We've got the fire, who's got the matches? Take a look around at the sea of masks And come one, come all Welcome to the grand ball Where the strong run for cover And the weak stand tall

I'm not one to scatter ashes But there's some things that'll melt the plastic Try and dig down deeper if you can

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame Welcome to the masquerade I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not ok. Welcome to the masquerade

We've got the power Who's got the action? Break it down, 'till there's nothin' But a mere fraction Out of the fire, rise from the ashes Reject your doubt, and release the passion

Let's get on it Believe, if you want it Step into the realm Where the real one's flaunt it Come, back, rewind Another time on it Reach out, take that One off, step on it

I'm not one to scatter ashes But there's some things that'll melt the plastic Try and dig down deeper if you can

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame Welcome to the masquerade I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not ok. Welcome to the masquerade Welcome to the masquerade

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame Welcome to the masquerade I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not ok. Welcome to the masquerade Welcome to the masquerade Welcome to the masquerade

I'm not one to scatter ashes But there's some things that'll melt the plastic Try and dig down deeper if you can

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame Welcome to the masquerade I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not ok. Welcome to the masquerade Welcome to the masquerade

You are missing like half of the song. It doesn't matter that he repeats. You should at least put something in there like [Chorus] to say when he does it again.

My interpretation is just this. Lies it's all lies, quit lying to me and yourself take it off throw it away and show me what your really feeling.

how did you manage to miss almost half of the song?

fixinglyrics is right, BTW you're very good at your job. It's supposed to say " scare the masses". I checked several sources.

"I'm not one to scatter ashes" is incorrect. The lyric is "I'm not one to scare the masses"
