Introduction: Mask Lyrics Dream
The lyrics of โMaskโ by Dream talk about how he needs to put on a mask to hide his individualism. Dream describes how the mask or a facade is an essential guard to conceal what fibs underneath. People question him if he is alright, and he demonstrates a manufactured smile to them, the impression everyone has of him. But behind that smile lies deep-rooted unhappiness: a portion of unhappiness that cannot be communicated and comprehended by people.
So you can see Iโm tryinโ, you wonโt see me cryinโ
Lyrics to โMaskโ Chorus by Dream
Iโll just keep on smilinโ, Iโm good (Yeah, Iโm good)
And it just keeps on pilinโ, itโs so terrifying
But I keep on smilinโ, Iโm good (Yeah, Iโm good)
Iโve been carinโ too much for so long
Been comparinโ myself for so long
Been wearinโ a smile for so long, itโs real
So long, itโs real, so long, itโs real
Mask Lyrics Meaning
In the song, Dream is acknowledging how his past has impacted him in his present life. He is putting on a mask to be presentable in the outer world. He does this because of the stigma around mental illness i.e., it only affects weak people. This stigma alone keeps people bottled up with their emotions while they are fighting their demons all by themselves. Letโs analyze the meaning of the lyrics behind the song โMaskโ byย Ghostย line by line in detail.
[Intro/ Pre-Chorus/ Chorus/ Outro]
(Secure the bag, know what I mean? Banrisk on the beat)
Intro to โMaskโ lyrics by Dream
Thatโs what the mask is
Pre-Chorus to โMaskโ lyrics by Dream
Thatโs what the point of the mask is
So long, itโs real
Outro to โMaskโ lyrics by Dream
So long, itโs real
Meaning
The intro of the โMaskโ lyrics represents perfectly how people feel making money or getting that bag can solve all of their problems. In the Pre-Chorus, he reveals that the mask is simply a facade he put up to hide from the world. As Chorus and Outro follow, Dream talks about him trying to fight his sadness by smiling and without crying or showing emotions. He compares himself to others and cares about things too much as they make him feel like itโs real.
[Verse 1]
I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
Verse 1 to โMaskโ lyrics by Dream
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back whatโs on my mind
And when they ask me how Iโm doing, I say, โIโm just fineโ
And when they ask me how Iโm doing, I say, โIโm just fineโ
But the fact is
I can never get off of my mattress
And all that they can ask is
โWhy are you so sad, kid?โ (Why are you so sad, kid?)
Meaning
Dream understands that he has to battle his mental illness. Sadness is something that needs action every single day. The enticement to give up is forever within reach. But the resort is to resist every day. Thatโs why he conceals his tears, concentrating on constructing a happy portrait of himself, the one that comforts people who care about him. But the battle that Dream is fighting all by himself shouldnโt be this way. He doesnโt need to fight his demons all by himself.
[Verse 2]
Always beinโ judged by a bunch of strangะต faces
Verse 2 to โMaskโ Lyrics by Dream
Scared to go outside, havenโt seen the light in ages
But Iโve been places
So Iโm okay-ish, so Iโm okay-ish
Yeah, Iโm okay, bitch
But the fact is
I need help, Iโm failinโ all my classes
They think that I need glasses
I just really wish that I could pass this (Wish that I could pass this)
Meaning
The defense means made up by Dream is the result of a shared individuality of his that can reveal joy. He attempts to live underneath that mask and senses incorporated into society. However, the inner battle is noticeable because his true-to-life mood doesnโt correspond to that smile. On the one part, the singer maintains displaying heโs okay, not to make people around him worry about him. But on the other hand, he acknowledges that he must seek support.
Conclusion: Mask Meaning Dream
โMaskโ by Dream means the battle of suppressing mental illness in front of the world while attempting to survive day-to-day life. Battling unhappiness and ADHD is a never-ending feat. Dream required a smiling facade to comfort the people around him about his mental illness constantly. But he as well as anyone going through this needs help. You donโt have to defeat sadness all alone. A mask or a facade is an essential safety means, but it doesnโt portray a solution.
