Walking Mirror
Walking Mirror: Unveiling the Reflections Within
Lyrics
Such a people pleaser
Describing oneself as someone who seeks approval from others.
Putting on a show
Engaging in a performance or facade for others.
Try to get attention
Attempting to attract attention from others.
The best way I know
Expressing a desire for attention in the best way known.
I can act the outcast
Capable of portraying oneself as an outsider or as royalty.
Or I can act the queen
Ability to adapt and act differently based on the situation.
You tell me your opinions
Open to hearing others' opinions without disagreement.
And I'll never disagree
Willingness to conform to others' expectations for entertainment.
And I change my ways
Adopting different behaviors for the sake of entertaining others.
Just so you're entertained
Being like a puppet controlled by external influences.
Like I'm tied to string
Feeling constrained or controlled like a puppet on strings.
Puppeteer do your thing
Asking the puppeteer to continue controlling the actions.
There's no exit door
Feeling trapped with no escape from the current situation.
Or a back to the stage
No option to return to a previous state or role.
When I take my bow
Taking a bow, but not receiving acknowledgment or applause.
But I don't hear a thing
Feeling unnoticed or unheard despite the performance.
What would that mean?
Reflecting on the meaning of one's actions and identity.
Who would I be?
Questioning the potential implications of change.
I just What would that mean?
Expressing uncertainty about the consequences of change.
Who would I be?
Questioning the potential impact on personal identity.
I'm really just a lost girl
Describing oneself as a person who is lost without guidance.
Without my navigation
Expressing a reliance on external guidance or direction.
Taking every chance and
Taking risks and imitating others without a clear path.
Play by imitation
Copying others' actions or behaviors as a form of play.
Like a walking mirror
Comparing oneself to a mirror, reflecting others' affection.
Giving back the same affection
Returning the same affection received from others.
You think you see a new face
Others may perceive a new face, but it's just a reflection.
I'm just showing your reflection
Displaying the reflection of others rather than true self.
And I change what I say
Altering speech to keep others engaged and interested.
Just so you're more engaged
Changing behavior to maintain others' attention and involvement.
Fear of you turned away
Fear of rejection or disapproval influencing the script.
Writes my script for the day
External opinions shaping the actions and choices for the day.
If you smile or laugh
Seeking validation through others' positive reactions.
I know I'm doing ok
Approval is gauged by smiles or laughter from the audience.
If I mess up my line
Recognition of mistakes based on the audience's reaction.
And you give me that face
Feeling disapproval from the audience through their expressions.
What would that mean?
Reflecting on the potential consequences of further change.
Who would I be?
Questioning the potential impact on personal identity once more.
What would that mean?
Reflecting on the uncertainty and potential outcomes of change.
Who would I be?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the consequences on self.
