Final Masquerade Lyrics

Cover art for Final Masquerade lyrics by Linkin Park

It is about one thing both parties want but just could never have because they don't patch things up. It's about the loss of communication. It tells us the importance of communication in any relationship: be it romantic or whatever else.

Final masquerade, it is one thing I can't understand about this song. Maybe it's talking about the edge. Like when you don't say your stance to someone, you are preventing the other person to understand you; you put barriers - just like what is happening in this song. Maybe final masquerade means that moment you are almost breaking down from getting to compromises; like that particular moment when you are about to miss the last flight and you'll miss it. It's the point of no return.

Well this song could be about unfortunate relationship but it could also be about anything else. I think it has something to do with the society of the world. People keep fighting and fighting standing for their rights which are correct but almost becoming wrong because they don't look for ways to make thinks up. They just fight and fight until today that there just seems to be no way to bring good things back - "what is done is done". We are all standing at the end of the final masquerade.

My Interpretation

^ things (not thinks) lol

@FairyAlonto A masquerade is a party in which people wearing costumes, so no one is really who they are. If people become so firm in their beliefs, they will become so engrossed in the fact that they are right and will become callous and stubborn making who they could change be their fake selves permanently, and that is when the masquerade comes to an end and the mask is taken off.
