Song: Behind The Mask Artist: Eric Clapton Album: August (1986) Rating: 4/5 Intro: (4 times) All alone had to talk about it Like a two-edged sword he touched you and he stabs me All along I knew you were a phony girl. Sit behind the mask where you control your world. Yesterday he had you in his arms When I’m holding you I feel his bitter charms I can’t judge what you do to me. Camouflage the truth Indulge your fantasy. Who do you love? Is it me now? Is it him babe? I don’t know. Who do you love? Is it me babe? Is it him now? I don’t know. There is nothing in your eyes; that’s the way you cry. All is grand all is bright. You’re just studying my mind. There is nothing in your eyes; that’s the way you cry. All is grand all is bright. You’re just studying my mind.        Was I invited to your masquerade? Well the party’s over so now take off your face You say love but it’s hard to see When you’re in his arms throwing rocks at me. Who do you love? Is it me now? Is it him babe? I don’t know. Who do you love? Is it me babe? Is it him now? I don’t know. the intro.                                             I walk around stuck within my gloom When I come to you and sit in your room Truth is new I have not a trace Take off your mask so I can see your face. Who do you love? Is it me now? Is it him babe? I don’t know. Who do you love? Is it me babe? Is it him now? I don’t know. Outro*: *There’s only keyboards on the real song but you can play fingerpicking instead. Sample-X (otmail.com)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les doutes et la confusion dans une relation amoureuse où la sincérité semble absente. Le narrateur se sent trahi par la façade de sa partenaire, qui semble jouer un rôle au lieu d’être authentique. L'interrogation sur l'amour véritable et la jalousie se mêlent à la douleur de ne pas connaître les véritables sentiments de l'autre, d'où un sentiment de désillusion. Dans le contexte de cette œuvre, on peut ressentir une profonde lutte interne, où la vulnérabilité est confrontée à des illusions romantiques. Le thème de la masquerade montre bien cette dualité entre l’apparence et la réalité, au cœur des relations humaines. Cette quête de vérité sur les sentiments réciproques amène une réflexion sur la confiance et la sincérité dans l'amour.
