Drowning in your own masquerade Peer Review
Drowning in your own Masquerade
Everything changed around you, but you remained the same. Now your shoes are full of water, and you're drowning in your own masquerade.
It didn't matter if climate change was real or man made. There you are you're drowning in your own masquerade. Standing there with a shovel full of shine, in a sandbox full of tears. Tell me what are you gonna leave behind for your child and mine.
Yes, your filled your need for your greed, filled your need for your greed. Yes you won big this time. Now the flood's over the wall washing away all the glory and all. It doesn't matter if climate change is real or man made. There you stand drowning in your own masquerade, drowning in your own masquerade, Yes, you're drowning in your own masquerade.

This is an interesting concept, but the structure of the song is hard for me to follow.

Yeah. LIstening to it, I think what he means is a clear verse structure. It seems kind of meandering? But I like the gist of it too. There is definitely something here.

Oh also, there are a lot of images that seem to mean a lot, but it good to know a little more of what you intend. Is there a suicide or darker element here? Or is this just about how we get lost in our own perceptions?

Ok, I'll come clean. It's referencing Climate Change, but maybe, that can be clarified in a stronger verse structure or updated verse version.
