about

“Masquerade” is the new single from Mayo native Tracy Gallagher in collaboration with renowned Belfast based producer Michael Mormecha and set to drop on February 9th 2024.

About the song Tracy says… “Masquerade” is about finding yourself in a romantic relationship where it feels like neither of you are being your genuine selves. Through insecurity or self-consciousness you find you’re trapped in a kind of facade with the other person, a charade that conceals your true selves. The agony of wearing masks, pretending to be someone you are not, and the ultimate realisation of the lack of authenticity in the connection leaves you with a sense of the deep human desire for genuine connection.”

lyrics

No more straight lines
You're in the cold pines
And I'm in the woods
There's love in the making
And it's ours for the taking
I'd tell you if I could
There's truth in your white lies
There's warmth in your cold eyes
All that's bad feels good
Just the touch of your warm hand
And I'm yours to command
Tell me if I should
If I should

We're caught up in a masquerade
There's nothing left for us to say
We're acting out a bad charade
But holding on for one more day
One more day
We're caught up in a masquerade
Still I'm waiting on you

Thinking back to the first glance
Hoping this ain't the last dance
Oh is love fools gold?
Cause we're both on the outside
And we're tired but we tried
Oh it leaves me cold
Leaves me cold

We're caught up in a masquerade
There's nothing left for us to say
We're acting out a bad charade
But holding on for one more day
One more day
We're caught up in a masquerade
Still I'm waiting on you
Ya holding out for one more day
One more day
Cause I still want you
