I like the song, but I don't really understand the meaning..
What exactly does "Say you, say me" means?
And why is that "Say it for always" and "Say it together, naturally"?
And how can a masquerade be played? Maybe it has different meaning in the 80s?
Ah,I'm too stupid to figure it out.Hope someone can answer me.
My favorite lines in the song:
" As we go down life's lonesome highway,
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two
That helping hand,
Someone who understands "
The "masquerade" refers to the mask (figuratively) they wear. The first stanza tells about that all they can do (Barrishnikove and Hines) is try not think about how bad it is for them in Russia and forced to dance (since they are great dancers). That long to escape (out of USSR). Watch the movie, and it will help understand the lyrics. Without the movie, it's just a cryptic song.
