Lyrics

Who is the man I see

Questioning self-identity and purpose

Where I'm supposed to be?

Expressing uncertainty about one's path in life

I lost my heart, I buried it too deep

Feeling emotionally detached, hiding emotions

Under the iron sea

Metaphorically referencing a deep emotional state


Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Addressing a crystal ball as a symbol of foresight

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Pleading for reassurance about the beauty of life

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Referencing self-reflection and seeking truth


Lines ever more unclear

Expressing confusion and ambiguity in life

I'm not sure I'm even here

Doubting one's existence and reality

The more I look the more I think that I'm

Suggesting a gradual fading or disappearance

Starting to disappear

Expressing a sense of self-doubt and uncertainty


Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Repetition of seeking guidance from the crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Reiterating the plea for affirmation of life's beauty

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Reflecting on oneself, seeking answers

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

Calling out to the crystal ball, expressing fading

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

Acknowledging a sense of losing oneself

So put me where I belong

Desiring a sense of belonging and purpose


I don't where I am

Expressing disorientation and lack of concern

And I don't really care

Indicating a lack of interest in one's whereabouts

I look myself in the eye

Looking within but finding emptiness

There's no one there

Suggesting a lack of self-recognition

I fall upon the earth

Falling into a state of vulnerability

I call upon the air

Seeking support from the intangible

But all I get is the same old vacant stare

Expressing frustration at a lack of response


Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Repeating the plea for the crystal ball's guidance

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Reaffirming the desire for reassurance

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Reflecting on self-image and seeking answers

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

Calling out to the crystal ball, reiterating fading

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

Acknowledging a sense of being misled

So put me where I belong

Expressing the need to find one's rightful place
