Sitting in a Mirror
Reflections of Inner Courage and Shadows: Sitting in a Mirror
Lyrics
And ooh I don‘t need that to be brave, no
Expressing courage without relying on external validation.
sitting in a mirror waiting
Physically present in front of a mirror, possibly reflecting on oneself.
And ooh I don‘t need that to stay safe, no
Stating that safety doesn't require external reassurance.
sitting in a mirror fading
Suggesting a gradual disappearance or transformation while in front of the mirror.
I’m sitting in a mirror waiting for the dices to fall,
A metaphorical depiction of waiting for life's uncertainties to unfold.
Wond’ring whether this is all I’ve known.
Questioning the completeness of one's life experiences.
Watching how my cheeks grow and my face full of lines,
Observing physical signs of aging, possibly indicating the passage of time.
Which weren’t drawn just by good old times.
Suggesting that life experiences, not just positive ones, contribute to personal growth.
Taught by black and white and some innocent old lies
Learning from contrasting experiences and innocent falsehoods.
Not just held up by myself alone.
Acknowledging reliance on external influences but not solely self-supported.
When a brave one comes up with breaking free that just ties
Ironically, efforts to break free can lead to further entanglement.
Me more in my immovable throne.
Feeling stuck despite attempts at liberation, possibly in a mental or emotional "throne."
Ooh I don‘t need that to be brave, no
Reiterating bravery without external dependencies.
sitting in a mirror waiting
Continuing the theme of waiting and self-reflection in front of a mirror.
And ooooh I don‘t need that to stay safe, no
Emphasizing the idea that safety doesn't require external validation.
sitting in a mirror fading
Repeating the idea of transformation or fading while in front of the mirror.
I’m sitting in a mirror waiting for the dices to fall
Revisiting the metaphor of waiting and uncertainty.
Wond’ring whether this is all I can call
Questioning the completeness of one's life experiences and identity.
My own wilderness of mirrors, where thoughts and my faith
Describing the mind as a complex place where thoughts and faith coexist.
At the fairground of my mind do take place.
Comparing the mind to a fairground where various mental activities occur.
I can get lost, but I just see my shell
Sensing a disconnection between the inner self and the external appearance.
Reflected there again and again,
Repeatedly seeing a distorted reflection, possibly indicating internal conflict.
Totally distorted in moves and in shapes.
Highlighting the distortion in actions and self-perception.
Do I think that there’s a way to escape?
Questioning the possibility of escaping the self-reflective cycle.
Ooh I don‘t need that to be brave, no
Reaffirming bravery without external reliance.
sitting in a mirror waiting
Continuing the theme of waiting and self-reflection in front of a mirror.
And ooooh I don‘t need that to stay safe, no
Restating that safety doesn't require external validation.
sitting in a mirror fading
Reemphasizing the idea of transformation or fading while in front of the mirror.
Ooh I don‘t need that to be brave, no
Reiterating bravery without external dependencies.
sitting in a mirror waiting
Continuing the theme of waiting and self-reflection in front of a mirror.
And ooooh I don‘t need that to stay safe, no
Emphasizing the idea that safety doesn't require external validation.
sitting in a mirror fading
Repeating the idea of transformation or fading while in front of the mirror.
