Mirror's Broken
Reflections of Self: Unveiling the Broken Mirrors in Kallan Phillips' Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Spend time running
Suggests the act of constant movement or running without a clear purpose or direction.
For too long and
Continuing an action for an extended period might result in unexpected consequences.
Time might see you trip
Time passing could lead to mistakes or difficulties.
Where now you stumble
An indication of a stumble or a mistake made in the present.
I think I saw you skip...
An observation of someone avoiding difficulty or skipping over problems.
The thought of splitting
Thinking about separation or division.
Don't seem to scare you
Not feeling fear about potential consequences for oneself.
Selfish, makes me sick
Feeling disgusted or ill due to self-centered behavior.
You see a problem
Recognizing issues but choosing to avoid solving them.
And flee what could be fixed
Choosing to escape instead of working towards a solution.
Our frugal interest, pretends
Attempting to handle emotional pain by pretending to be thrifty or economical with feelings.
To try and cure our pain
Trying to alleviate emotional distress.
A solipsism
Self-centeredness or extreme focus on oneself.
That's oft employed in vain
Using self-centered approaches that often fail.
And all these people stare at me
Feeling observed or judged by others.
Or then again, I'm never seen
Feeling invisible or unnoticed despite being present.
I slip through cracks like in a dream
Feeling disconnected or detached from reality.
It's never clear just what i mean
Confusion regarding one's own intentions or messages.
And everybody that I know
Observing unique or different individuals in one's social circle.
Seems to be some special kind
Perceiving everyone around as distinctive or unusual in some way.
My mirrors broken, it can't show
A metaphor for the inability to understand oneself due to a broken perception (mirror).
The viewer any reason why...
Unable to reflect upon oneself due to a broken self-image.
When she spoke well
Feeling emotionally harmed when someone speaks, yet pretending to be unaffected.
I felt damaged
Experiencing emotional damage or pain due to someone's words.
Still smiled lies on my lips
Faking happiness or positivity despite feeling hurt.
I try new pathways,
Exploring new ways to avoid situations that cause discomfort.
Avoid what makes me sick...
Avoiding things that induce emotional distress or disgust.
And all these people stare at me
Similar to line 18, feeling observed or judged by others.
Or then again, I'm never seen
Feeling invisible or unnoticed despite being present, repetition from line 19.
I slip through cracks like in a dream
Repetition from line 20, feeling detached or disconnected from reality.
It's never clear just what i mean
Reiteration of confusion regarding one's own intentions or messages from line 21.
And everybody that I know
Observing unique or different individuals in one's social circle, repetition from line 22.
Seems to be some special kind
Perceiving everyone around as distinctive or unusual in some way, repetition from line 23.
My mirrors broken, it can't show
Metaphorically reiterating the inability to understand oneself due to a broken perception (mirror), repetition from line 24.
The viewer any reason why...
Continuing the metaphor of the broken self-image, unable to reflect upon oneself due to a broken self-image, repetition from line 25.
