旋律
歌曲有多麼清晰易記且符合明確音樂模式的旋律。通常，旋律分明的作品會擁有清晰易記的器樂或人聲主線。
原聲音質
此指標衡量一首歌曲在多大程度上依賴原聲樂器 (例如鋼琴、吉他、小提琴、鼓、薩克斯風)，而非電子或數位合成音效
Valence
歌曲透過和聲與節奏所傳達的音樂積極性或情感基調。數值高通常對應快樂、興奮或愉悅感，數值低則與悲傷、憤怒或憂鬱相關。
節奏感
綜合了節拍穩定性、節奏型態與重拍強度等多重因素，以判定一首歌曲適合跳舞的程度。一首「節奏感強」的歌曲，通常具備穩定的速度、重複的音樂結構與明顯的強拍。
輕快
曲目的律動感可能受節奏快慢、音量起伏與聲譜密度所影響。較輕快的歌曲通常節奏強勁，編曲豐滿；反之，不太輕快的歌曲則可能編曲簡約、節奏較慢。
歌詞
I’m a sick man, A very sick man
I don’t expect you to understand
There I am - Just look at me
I walk among you in talked of men
And I am power’s most vital friend
There I am - You’re looking at me
But there is no one I have not known
And no one’s vengeance I do not own
There I am - Just look at me
I am there in the back of your mind
I am uncaring, I am unkind
There I am - You’re looking at me
Creep up behind you when you fill with hate
I get excited when you’re irate
I make you crazy, make your conscience numb
I’ve got the anger gonna get you some
Now we think what we’re taught
Shadow self - what we thought
There is no right or wrong
Shadow self - sing your song
You will become me -
There’s a fire in my head can’t put out
You will become me -
There’s a name on my lips can’t pronounce
You will become me -
There’s a stain on my heart can’t get out
You will become me -
And you know the way...
(masques of honor Liebens born
Of darkness brothers we are sworn
You make us strong when we are weak
You are the only truth we seek
You only to forget the hollow
Men we have become your followers
So lead us now to paradise
We’ll never have to wear them)
I beat your children, I drop your bomb
From schoolyard brawls to the Pentagon
There I am - Just look in at me
Give me a conflict, give me a war
Just give me something worth fighting for
There I am - You’re looking at me
Don’t try to keep me bottled up inside
I’m there inside you now you cannot hide
I’ve always been and I will always be
I like the goose-step won’t you dance with me
There are no, "There are no"
Words to say, "Words to say"
Shadow self, "Shadow self"
Nature’s way, "Nature’s way"
Lives in you, "Lives in you"
Lives in me, "Lives in me"
Shadow self, "Shadow self"
Never free, "No one is ever free!"
You will become me -
There’s a fire in my head can’t put out
You will become me -
There’s a name on my lips can’t pronounce
You will become me -
There’s a stain on my heart can’t get out
You will become me -
And you know the way...
(masques of honor Liebens born
Of darkness brothers we are sworn
You make us strong when we are weak
You are the only truth we seek
You only to forget the hollow
Men we have become your followers
So lead us now to paradise
We’ll never have to wear them
Masques of goodness and of grace
The blood of angels made to face
The horror of the naked truth
Is only what you make it do
The things you want to complete
The animal that has to eat
The innocent are left to bear
The blame we’ll never have to wear them
Masques of honor Liebens born
Of darkness brothers we are sworn
You make us strong when we are weak
You are the only truth we seek
You only to forget the hollow
Men we have become your followers
So lead us now to paradise
We’ll never have to wear them
Masques of goodness and of grace
The blood of angels made to face
The horror of the naked truth
Is only what you make it do
The things you want to complete
The animal that has to eat
The innocent are left to bear
The blame we’ll never have to wear them
Masques of honor Liebens born
Of darkness brothers we are sworn
You make us strong when we are weak
You are the only truth we seek
You only to forget the hollow
Men we have become your followers
So lead us now to paradise
We’ll never have to wear them
Masques of goodness and of grace
The blood of angels made to face
The horror of the naked truth
Is only what you make it do
The things you want to complete
The animal that has to eat
The innocent are left to bear
The blame we’ll never have to wear them
Masques of honor Liebens born
Of darkness brothers we are sworn
You make us strong when we are weak
You are the only truth we seek
You only to forget the hollow
Men we have become your followers
So lead us now to paradise
We’ll never have to wear them)
