The song is about the hypocrisy of human essence, about how easily a human performs any work and desires depending on the salary offered to him, putting on the mask that is demanded of him. The more expensive the mask, the more terrible and shameful it is. A human chooses which mask to put on, forgetting about his own face and forgetting about the concept of personality. As a result, any mask turns into a mask of shame. But in the end the outcome is always the same - death. And here everyone has the opportunity to get a postmortem mask, by which one can judge the true face of human.
