Tournament Arc is proud to present our jazzy vision of the Persona 5 soundtrack with this formal ode to the brilliant Shoji Meguro composition, Beneath The Mask. Reimagined as a jazz club standard, we really felt this song deserved more love. Shoji Meguro presents his listeners with an incredibly lively sonic palette, and we thought we could really express something stylish through his music.

Where have you been?
Been searching all along
Came facing twilight on and on
Without a clue
Without a sign
Without grasping yet
The real question to be asked
Where have I been?
I’m a shapeshifter
At Poe’s masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I’m a shapeshifter
What else should I be?
Please don’t take off my mask
Revealing dark
Moments of calm
Nothing left to be found
A mirror right in front of me
That’s where I find
An empty glass
Reflecting the sad truth
It’s telling words not to be told
I need the mask
I’m a shapeshifter
At Poe’s masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I’m a shapeshifter
Chained down to my core
Please don’t take off my mask
My place to hide
I can’t tell you
How to see me
Just a cage of bones
There’s nothing inside
Will it unleash me?
Burning down the walls
Is there a way
For me to break?
I’m a shapeshifter
At Poe’s masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I’m a shapeshifter
Have no face to show
Please don’t take off my mask
My disguise
