A Mask of My Own Face Lyrics
A mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear it to a hoedown, and I'd dance with all the belles,
and none of them would know that I was secretly myself.
I'd rob my apartment and I wouldn't give a damn.
I'd blame it on the person that nobody knows I am.
I look into my eyeholes, what do I see?
Look into my eyeholes, what do you see?
I look into my eyeholes and what do I see?
A handsome motherfucker motherfucking looking back at me.
A mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear it on Thanksgiving and I'd laugh in the parade
at all the people hissing, knowing I'm the one they hate.
And at the big finale I would tear my face away,
and smile as they grip their own and try to do the same.
I look into my eyeholes and what do I see?
Look into my eyeholes, tell me what you see.
I look into my eyeholes and what do I see?
A handsome motherfucker motherfucking looking back at me.
A mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
and none of them would know that I was secretly myself.
I'd rob my apartment and I wouldn't give a damn.
I'd blame it on the person that nobody knows I am.
Look into my eyeholes, what do you see?
I look into my eyeholes and what do I see?
A handsome motherfucker motherfucking looking back at me.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
at all the people hissing, knowing I'm the one they hate.
And at the big finale I would tear my face away,
and smile as they grip their own and try to do the same.
Look into my eyeholes, tell me what you see.
I look into my eyeholes and what do I see?
A handsome motherfucker motherfucking looking back at me.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that.
I'd wear that mask of my own face.
I'd wear that.

i always saw this song as like... a kind of dissociation? I'll explain, lol. When you think of a mask (not the medical kind) you tend to think of. like. maybe a halloween mask, or a costume mask, or whatever. but the point im making is; masks are literally intended for you to look like something else, pretend to be something else. So. If it's "a mask of my own face" It's like, being yourself. but you aren't yourself. I see it as a disconnection between the character (whoever it is, maybe its just Neil) and themselves. It's an internal and mental disconnection to me. "Look into my eye holes, what do I see?" being repeated so many times also kind of helps me with this? I feel like it being repeated so many times reflects a feeling of: "what am i seeing right now? who am i?" i imagine those lyrics as just the character looking into a mirror honestly
