Mirage
Wandering Through Illusions: Unraveling the Meaning of Alex Nicol's Mirage
Lyrics
Ask not what the meaning is
Challenging the inquiry into the song's meaning
Prob too deep and there is irony
Suggests that the meaning might be too profound and includes irony
Like the pupil of a goats eye leaves one wondering
Comparing the complexity of understanding to the mystery of a goat's pupil
But we're still swimming in the wanderlust
Despite difficulties, still engrossed in the desire to explore the world
Mirage
Introduction of the concept of a mirage
It's a mirage
Reiteration of the mirage concept
Come and massage my eyes
Invitation to alter perspective and perception
Mirage
Reiteration of the mirage concept
It's a mirage
Reiteration of the invitation to alter perspective and perception
Come and massage my eyes
Repetition of the invitation to change perception
Catch a glimpse of the wanderlust
Encouraging catching a fleeting glimpse of desire to explore
From the subway air so dank it makes you sweat
Depiction of an atmosphere in the subway that induces discomfort
While a young boy prances with an orange ball
Contrast between discomfort and a child's carefree joy
It's essentially an imaginable
Highlighting the difficulty of envisioning something intangible
Mirage
Reiteration of the mirage concept
It's a mirage
-Come and massage my eyes
Repetition of the invitation to change perception
Mirage
Reiteration of the mirage concept
It's a mirage
Repetition of the invitation to alter perspective and perception
Come and massage my eyes
Reiteration of the invitation to change perception
