Reflections in Black Obsidian: Love's Haunting Mirror
Lyrics
tried to be just like water to the touch
Tried to emulate the fluidity and adaptability of water in relationships.
take you everywhere you wanna be
Willing to accompany and support the other person wherever they desire.
wash away whats hurting you so much
Intending to cleanse and alleviate the pain that troubles the other person.
whats haunting you is always haunting me
Personal struggles or demons haunting the other person also affect the speaker.
don't you know babe you let me down again
Expressing disappointment in being let down again by the person addressed.
our love's a mirror/black obsidian
Comparing their love to a mirror made of black obsidian, suggesting its reflective and potentially revealing nature.
other night we were locking eyes
Recalling a recent intense moment of eye contact between them.
baby and it cut me right down to the bone
That intense moment deeply affected and hurt the speaker.
the way you stare from across the room
Noting the powerful impact of the other person's stare from a distance.
you know that it could turn a person into stone
Suggesting that the intensity of the stare could emotionally paralyze someone.
and then i let you bring me down again
Feeling brought down emotionally by the other person yet again.
our love's a mirror/black obsidian

you're only happy baby when ya
Implying the other person's happiness is contingent upon fulfilling their desires.
do what you wanna do
Suggesting the other person's happiness is linked to doing what they want.
is it that you haven't got it in ya
Questioning if the other person lacks the capability or desire to change.
or that you just don't want to
Asking whether the other person is unwilling or uninterested in changing.
find a scratch in the scrying glass
Referencing finding a flaw or imperfection in divination or insight, indicating a lack of trust in self-reflection.
its your own reflection you can never trust
Highlighting the unreliability of one's own reflection in a scrying glass or mirror.
why in the hell do we keep looking back
Questioning why they keep revisiting the past despite the persistence of negative influences.
with the devil always running after us
Suggesting the constant pursuit or presence of negative influences or temptations.
why did i let you bring me down again
Regretting being emotionally affected again by the actions of the other person.
your love's a mirror/black obsidian
