The song speaks to the silent battles faced daily, the fear of judgment, and the need to maintain a facade of normalcy. Despite the jokes and laughter, there's a profound sense of not truly living, just surviving. The surface-level interactions mask a deeper pain that the protagonist fears to expose, worried about how others would react.

The protagonist learns to hide their pain, even to the point of dancing in the rain to mask their insanity, portraying a storm within their mind and heart.
"Mask Every Day" reveals the isolation of feeling like an actor in one's own life, always afraid of losing control while walking on metaphorical hot coals. It's a powerful exploration of the disparity between appearance and reality, capturing the essence of living with concealed suffering.
Lyrics below
A wake up every morning, Grab the pain mask and put it up, gotta always play the part,
Hiding all my pain, yeah, Y’all don’t get if a didn’t have the mask it would be tearing me apart,
So a force a fake smile on my face, When in reality my soul is extremely dark,
A got scars all over my body, guess its like graffiti on the park,
Y’all don’t see the day to day battle, yeah, cause a got keep that shit hidden,
Cause am living one big fascade, man, my mental health is in decline sorry but that shits forbidden,
So worried what people would thinking If I truly said how I was feelin even if the shit was written,
So I laugh, make jokes, when deep inside, I don’t know if im really livin,
You only see what I show on the surface, cause I don’t want expose you to all the pain in depth,
You ask if im okay but I lie while trying to act like im okay count to 5 with each breath
People don’t understand that im fearing all the judgementst, yeah, all the small talks and all the threats,
What would you do if you saw the real me, would you care or just up and leave
Ive become a normal person when a wear the mask, learnt to play the act at last,
You don’t see though when im alone, and I start overthinking and all of that,
Cause even I don’t know who I am when I look in the mirror, A wish a didn’t have to feel like I have to play this act, But I mask up so fast,
Don’t want y’all think the person everyone thinks is strong is in reality feelin weak,,
Every joke, every laugh,Its a bluff to hide this pain
Fighting internal struggles, Why aren’t you listening im screaming out, is it cause you don’t see the all the pain,
Ma brain and heart is a storm in my mind, You could call it a hurricane
I honestly learned how to dance in the rain, to hide the fact I really feel insane,
Y’all think you see the real me, when you only see the actor in his role,
You don’t see the person who feels alone and afraid of their own soul,
Im trying so hard to keep it all together, but what happens if I lose control,
Cause everyday im walking on fucking coal,
Masking helps to hide the pain,
Cause even I don’t understand what’s going on in my brain,
If you saw the real me without the act would you label me insane,
A got really good at playing this game,
Around you all I’ll see that I’m okay,
When Inside im fighting the same feelings everyday,
Didn’t you realise I’m loud with not many people and quiet in the crowd,
That’s because my character is so loud,
Again y’all don’t see the cry out,
So i guess it’s wearing the mask for another day,
Just so I can be in public and know what I actually wanna say,
Even go to the counter and pay,
Without problems occurring in the day,
A only see it playing out that way,
So if you saw the real me what the fuck would you say,
Would you even try to take this pain away,
That I hide from people each day,
I think it’s best I wear the mask,
Throughout public, and college to complete a task,
Cause when a don’t life just feels wank,
Like when you see me yall don’t get I’m playing a daily prank,
Now we’re the fuck are all the maskers at,
