Cover TWICE - Behind the Mask (English Lyrics written by me) (1 Viewer)

[Mandisa]

Hey guys! I wrote an English version for Twice Behind the Mask from the 2020 full album Eyes Wide Open!
I hope you enjoy it! (this wasn't written by AI, especially because AI can't do this without infringing copyright. Trust me, I've already asked LMAO)

Background: The singer is someone who writes a letter to the ex of their serious relationship who cheated on them and they almost had reached their lowest point after it but had decided that they can't stay there and that they will find love again.

Verse 1
After exhaling deeply
A sigh is all that’s left in me
When my heart was left astray
I questioned if I was okay

Round and round and round
It all makes zero sense to me
Why you left me to crumble,
Why you had to leave me

Pre-Chorus
Life is stressful, life is pain
Tears are falling like the rain
Since you’ve left me here to fall

Chorus
Behind the mask yeah who yeah
I wonder if you’re smiling
Who yeah woo yeah
I wonder if you’re crying
Let me ask in the mask
I’m lonely but if you’re trying
Say yes woo yeah

Verse 2
I may have bent but I won’t break
I won’t be put down for your sake
I may have lost but I have found
A way to turn this thing around

Round and round and round
We go right back to this heartbreak
Sound that makes me high and low
But I won’t fall below

Pre-Chorus
Though my heart is turn apart
Not quite there but it’s a start…
In the end my heart will glow

Chorus
Behind the mask yeah who yeah
I wonder if you’re smiling
Who yeah woo yeah
I wonder if you’re crying
Let me ask in the mask
I’m lonely but if you’re trying
Say yes woo yeah

Post-Chorus
I know for me it’s not the end
I will find loving once again
Though it will take time
I’ll love someone twice again

Bridge
Rain and pain are falling down
But don’t cry, it will dry
Your heart will keep going on, don’t give up in the end
No matter what they say
Behind the text yeah who yeah

Chorus
Behind the mask yeah who yeah
I wonder if you’re smiling
Who yeah woo yeah
I wonder if you’re crying
Let me ask in the mask
I’m lonely but if you’re trying
Say yes woo yeah

Post-Chorus
I know for me it’s not the end
I will find loving once again
Though it will take time
I’ll love someone twice again

Behind the mask yeah, who yeah

You don't read the lyrics? Please tell me you've at least read the lyrics for Be As One, The Reason Why and Feel Special!

I was listening to YouTube Music and Behind the Mask started playing randomly, and I know that this sort of a sad song so I wanted to rewrite it in a way that makes more sense.

Very nice. JYP could use your help. Maybe you won't write risky risky wiggy wiggy

Why you test me? That's not an emergency!

Add One In A Million too. It makes me emotional every time I read the lyrics.

 

[YouChan]

This is so beautiful! I probably listened to this song during Once A Day, but I can't remember it well if I have. This might just make me relisten to it. Also, maybe I'll post my One More Time lyric translation from a while back on here, or translate a different song.

About an hour-ish

Unless you understand Japanese or Korean well, how do you understand what they're singing about?

That's so true! That song is so pretty and very encouraging

Thank you! And ooh, you totally should! Making your own translation from another language to your own and making it flow is a really cool talent (it's also really fun). I remember your One More Time one and I'm sure others would love to see it! We'd also love to see any knew ones you create too 😉
