Northlane - Masquerade Lyrics






The scent of lies is in the air tonight
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies (the scent of lies) is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust

So act all innocent even though we have seen your true face
Stop lying to yourself
You're nothing but a fucking disgrace
You're a fucking disgrace

How can you trust anyone if you can't even trust your friends?
A masquerade of lies will kill us all in the end
The worst part of it all is I'm exactly the same
I'm looking around the room
I'll be the first one to blame
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies (the scent of lies) is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust

Take another look inside of yourself
Look at the mess you've made
Take another look inside of yourself
Stop living in a masquerade
You're just a two-faced piece of shit
I'll make sure all you cowards quit
So hide yourself behind a mask
In a room of double faces
You can never hide what's in your past
Nothing changes at all, I'm still exactly the same
I'm looking around the room
I'll be the first one to blame
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies (the scent of lies) is in the air tonight
Those eyes (those eyes), those eyes

To everyone who's held me up and everyone who's brought me down
I will never forget your faces, your voices
To everyone who's held me up and everyone who's brought me down
I will never forget your faces, your voices

Wink and smile for a while behind a mask
In a room of double faces
You can never hide what's in your past

  38. M.... S....

    I was really trying to like Marcus but then I listened to this song and it's hard to defend him lmao Adrian just has amazing unclean vocals. Too bad it was frying his vocal chords. I'll give it to Marcus he can really sing well.

  39. B.... T....

    I didn't think I'd be listening to this type of music at 30 or "let the bodies hit the floor" on the 405 freeway Sepulveda pass in los angeles @ 6:30AM PST, but uhhh hahaha. Fucking sheep out there, let me tell you.

  43. J.... B....

    At first i thought it was anthony green lol

  44. k.... w....

    BMTH ))

    k.... w....

    Игорёха Тимошенко no.

  45. G.... M....

    Was hat the singer from Shreddy Krueger?

  46. C.... W....

    TO EVERYONE WHOS HELD ME UP AND EVERYONE THATS BROUGHT ME DOWN I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR FACES YOUR VOICES!

  47. A.... P....

    fuck every single thumbs down! Thumbs up and share!

  48. T.... ....

    This is so fucking sick

  49. n.... ....

    That Intervals tee! So much respect.

  50. X.... ....

    Bring back Adrian :(

  51. M.... ....

    00:58 ADRIAN'S MOVES THO

    M.... ....

    MusicControlsMyLife1 Homeboy spitting that hot fire 😆

    M.... ....

    The end of this song, is awesome too. No moves but how he thinks

    M.... ....

    its a bit gay to be honest, grabbing his cap doing gangster moves. Some identity issues right there

    M.... ....

    lol ur fucking stupid. U even a fan? or just a bitch

    M.... ....

    Motorcycle Russki identity issues? Explain 😂

  52. J.... d....

    This reminds me of 'Anthem' by BMTH

    J.... d....

    Juliana Almeida Dafuq?

    J.... d....

    @R A F 92 probably since the video is in a live setting, with a black and white filter over it. And since the "The scent of lies" is in the same pitch as "This is an anthem" in BMTH's song. His comparison is actually good.

  53. D.... W....

    This song is underrated.

  54. S.... ....

    Miss Adrian so much

  55. A.... R....

    noise, pure and simple

  56. C.... O....

    That deftones short tho!!!

  57. C.... F....

    It's ok everyone, he left them. Life will go on, i promise lol

  58. S.... C....

    *You're just a two-faced piece of shit*

    S.... C....

    edgy comment of the video award goes to...

    S.... C....

    @Sadboyism thats not even edgy lmao da fuq?

  59. L.... M....

    I love this band

  60. M.... P....

    Hate the out of place guest vocals but love all the northlane-ness. Miss Adrian..

    M.... P....

    Agreed, those guest vocals are horrible.

    M.... P....

    +RIP EVO looool what. stray from the path is awesome and they fit quite well

    M.... P....

    @Samuel :d Not at all... But at this point its opinionated..

    M.... P....

    +Samuel :d I shouldn't have commented to be honest. I simply don't care for the vocal style.

    Adrian's wearing an intervals shirt!

  66. B.... D....

    The Masquerade...The Masquerade is lit ablaze surrounding me as fear consumes my soooul there's a maniac within taking hold of me again no place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac...

  67. D.... P....

    The stray from the path vocalist fucking ruined this song, hate his vocals

  68. P.... R....

    Nice screaming!

  69. W.... J....

    I really miss Adrian :-(

  70. Z.... C....

    what if marcus did cleans and adrian screams

    Z.... C....

    Adrian can't even scream or sing anymore...you guys are dreaming wanting him back. His voice is actually done. Marcus is differen't but can actually do live shows unlike Adrian. I enjoy both of their voices and differences.

    Z.... C....

    ofc he can still scream, he did a feature on a song which name i cant remember atm

    Z.... C....

    +MrDoenerbrot don't know the song but the band you're talking about is ocean grove.

    Z.... C....

    Northlane have moved on, Marcus does what he does well.
    If you want Adrian back listen to a band called Invent, Animate and you'll basically have it. Enjoy :)

    Z.... C....

    I saw them a couple months before he left, he used to be very solid live, but at that particular show (which was a mini festival tour like thing that northlane made so it was a very big important sold out show) he was awful, killed the mood of the whole gig. No diss to him it sucks what happened to his voice but yeah he clearly couldnt do it anymore

  71. n.... ....

    this was the shit, adrian's dance moves included

  72. K.... P....

    these rhymes are killing me

  73. D.... L....

    Northlane isn't the same w/o Adrian

    D.... L....

    Yea, they aren't. They changed their sound BIG FUCKING DEAL

    D.... L....

    i feel like that's the point lmao

    D.... L....

    @DNMii lol it kinda is, it's not even close to the same band. marcus kills this shit live though.

  74. 0.... ....

    Hey, what happened with their vocalist? Is he in another band?

    0.... ....

    +0ctothorp he quit the band due to constant touring ruining his voice

  75. A.... R....

    Watch our Videos!
    Iron and Steel

  76. J.... W....

    Everyone's talking about Adrian and his awesome dance moves and I'm just listening to the colossal rhythm guitar track like "this tone could drop the balls of an 8 year old"

    J.... W....

    +Jay Ward  amen to that

    J.... W....

    I put on the ugly face when that fuckin bass drops. That shit is serious.

  77. S.... G....

    stuff 🇺🇸

  78. D.... ....

    lol am sad the new singers beard makes me uncomfortable

    D.... ....

    lmao 😂😂😂

  79. d.... ....

    the clean parts ... amazing shit

  80. D.... L....

    :55 - 1:37 fave

  81. D.... L....

    97 people are fucking disgraces

  82. d.... ....

    794.008 views. 700.000 sou eu.

  83. T.... D....

    I just realized this is several show footages. he's wearing an intervals shirt, and a deftones one.

    T.... D....

    This is two show footages. One of them (the main one) is at Fowlers live in Adelaide and the other one is in Melbourne or Sydney I think, I don't know. I only know Fowlers live because I live in Adelaide and have seen many shows there over the years

  84. C.... T....

    2:00
    Is that Drew from Stray From the Path singing? I didn't know this was a feature


    edit: yep it is, wow.
    editedit: it's at the beginning of the fucking video im an autistic illiterate how did i miss it

    C.... T....

    It's the singer from SFTP, absolutely no doubt lol. His voice is quite singular. Remind me of Urban Dance Sqaud singer for those who were already born :)

    C.... T....

    It was corrected not that long ago to where it doesnt mention his name and sorry not every genre elitist knows every members name. There are plenty of bands that I love that I couldnt tell you a single one of their names.

    C.... T....

    Just saw them live together yesterday and drew came on stage during this song - it was amazing! So yes it's him 😊

    C.... T....

    this was my first time listening to Northlane, and I thought, "man, these dudes sound a bit like Stray From The Path"

    C.... T....

    Carson Troeh it only says featuring in the beginning?

  85. A.... J....

    I swear the guitarist's shirt says "anal" wtf

    A.... J....

    No it says canada

  86. A.... G....

    Love this song!!!!!!!! Miss Adrian but Marcus is good!!!!

  87. A.... K....

    Whoever thinks Marcus is better than Adrian at performing live is wrong and has never been to a Northlane gig. This gig in particular at the Bald Faced Stag was one of the best gigs i've been to. Adrian has always pumped the crowd up and has been apart of the scene contrary to what Marcus does now with his influence making the band look generic. i know it was the bands decision to get him but it was a bad one.

    A.... K....

    I've seen Marcus live with the band once at HQ in Adelaide. He didn't blow my mind..

  88. G.... K....

    FORT WORTH, TEXAS TOMORROW!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!
