Mirrors
Reflections of Redemption: Unveiling the Pain in Joe Traxler's Mirrors
Lyrics
A hollow heart of silence in the room
A sense of emptiness and quietness prevails in the space.
It haunts me that I couldn't tell the truth
The inability to be honest weighs heavily on the singer's conscience.
And the echo is coming back around
The consequences of the unspoken truth are returning.
Your brittle voice, an aching sound
Your fragile voice is a painful reminder.
And it leaves me
The aftermath leaves the singer with a delicate emotional state.
With a fragile feeling
A sense of vulnerability lingers.
Oh I just can't wrap my head around it
The difficulty in comprehending the situation is expressed.
Wondering if you have ever had a doubt about it
Questioning if the other person ever doubted the relationship.
These mirrors may not show what you believe
The mirrors may not reflect the truth the other person believes.
And I hope that I'll find a way to fight these demons that are living inside my mind
A desire to confront and overcome inner struggles.
And finally face what I refuse to see
Facing the truth that was previously avoided.
I never meant to pass it onto you
An admission of unintentionally passing on difficulties.
And there's no excuse for what the shit I used to pull
No justification for past negative behaviors.
I guess my ego is my enemy
The singer recognizes their ego as a personal adversary.
I hurt you for my own remedy
Hurting others as a means of self-healing.
And I know, I know that's fucked up
Acknowledging the wrongness of past actions.
We jumped in at the end
Entering the relationship near its conclusion.
Now we're so deep in
Deeply involved in the complexities of the relationship.
The fabric of my white lies
The singer's deceit is woven into their existence.
So tangled up in the wrong rhymes
Entangled in incorrect narratives and stories.
The talk is cheap when
Criticizing the cheapness of words when actions are necessary.
You gotta keep on
The necessity to persist despite challenges.
Over rectifying
Continuing to make amends and correct mistakes.
There's no room for no more denying
No more room for denial; confronting reality.
Oh I just can't wrap my head around it
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding the situation.
Wondering if you have ever had a doubt about it
Questioning if doubt ever existed in the other person's mind.
These mirrors may not show what you believe
The mirrors may not reflect the truth the other person believes.
And I hope that I'll find a way to fight these demons that are living inside my mind
A hope to find a way to overcome inner struggles.
And finally face what I refuse to see
Facing and accepting the truths previously ignored.
