Mirror
Reflections of Solitude: Unveiling Inner Turmoil in 'Mirror' by Keep Shelly In Athens
Lyrics
The world wasn't invited
The world was not willingly allowed into my thoughts or inner world.
into my mind
There's a presence lurking within me that feels like a burning fire.
the lurking is fire
It's not a wish or longing to make friends with this inner lurking presence.
not a desire to be my friend
I am distinct from being a reflection or a mirror of someone else.
I am not your mirror
I am not a reflection or a mirror, nor do I serve as a reflection of others.
or reflection
Will they pull the curtain
Before the physical destruction of my body that houses my mind.
over my mind
before the destruction
There's a feeling of impending destruction, possibly before the body's demise.
of the body that holds it in
I am not your mirror
-I won't shatter me
Despite refusing to break, the love within me seems to decay or spoil.
but all the love is rotting
It feels like the love inside is deteriorating when I see myself.
in my reflection
A dream could build a ladder
-out of my mind
My mind can construct a metaphorical ladder out of this situation, yet I feel haunted.
and still I'd be haunted
by the strangers hugging me
Despite any escape, I still feel embraced or haunted by strangers.
I am not your mirror
I am not a reflection or a mirror; I won't allow myself to break.
I won't shatter me
but all the love is rotting
Despite resisting breaking, the love inside me seems to decay when I see myself.
in my reflection
