Lyrics
Again I couldn't keep the words that I have promised to myself
Unable to keep the promises made to oneself
Again my mind is not like books I put in order in a shelf
Mind is not organized like books on a shelf
Again I started every little step the wrong way 'round
Starting every small step in the wrong direction
Right now I wouldn't listen to my disharmonic sound
Unwilling to listen to one's own disharmonious sound
Why, why would I be talking to the person
Questioning why speaking to oneself in the mirror
Staring back at me in the mirror?
Reflection and self-conversation with the person in the mirror
Why, why, would I be talking to the person
Questioning the act of conversing with oneself in reflection
Staring back at me at all?
Questioning why talking to oneself at all
Again I couldn't settle in the traces I have left
Unable to settle or find comfort in past actions or trails
Again I couldn't let anyone closer to my chest
Unable to allow others closer emotionally
Again I would be taking peoples motion for some egocentric fading away
Interpreting others' emotions as self-centered fading
Why, why would I be talking to the person
Questioning the self in the mirror
Staring back at me in the mirror?
Reflecting on self-identity in the mirror
Why, why, would I be talking to the person
Questioning the act of self-reflection
Staring back at me at all?
Questioning the necessity of self-reflection
(Because, because)
Highlighting the constant changes and occurrences in life (physical, emotional, and situational)
(Because) skin is changing all the time
-(Because) hope is rising all the time
-(Because) glass is breaking all the time
-(Because) plans are growing all the time
-(Because) humans failing all the time
-(Because) tears are drying all the time
-Because there's stories ending all the time
-Because there's new beginnings all the time
Emphasizing the continual presence of new beginnings
