[Verse 1]
Look at the hologram with his silly sort of tone
Look at the hollow man filled with air instead of bone
He feels like no one understands him. Oh he's so alone
But how can someone understand when himself he does not know
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
What do you see
In the mirror when you're looking at the face through the screen?
Am I ghost? Did I die?
Because the face in the mirror is more realer than I
[Verse 2]
Shattered glass and shattered еyes
Reveal my confidеnce to be no more than a disguise
Don't twist my words around and say that I have told you lies
Because the lies are now the truth, and the truth is a guise
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
What do you do now
When you see the shattered glass like the grass on the ground?
Don't cut your feet, for the wounds are deep
And naivety lasts as long as you are asleep
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me
How do you rest?
You got a little secret burning up in your chest
How do you tell those near and far
That the secret is you don't even know who you are?
Tell me, tell me
What is this?
A sort of world that makes it feel like you shouldn't exist
I can't run, I cannot fly
From the face in the mirror that's more realer than I
From the face in the mirror that's more realer than I
When you show people your true face, there is a fear that they will lash out and claim that you’ve been deceiving them the entire time. Being honest about mental health can be scary, and I wanted to show that I know that fear and others aren’t alone in it.
Because I wrote this about me through my own eyes, I used shattered glass here to be in reference to a broken mirror. Thus serving its usual reference to bad luck and misfortune, as I see myself and unlucky and misfortunate.
This is an internal monologue. I am telling myself to figure out who I am as a person because I don’t know how to function otherwise.
I know that this is improper grammar. I wanted to use this phrase to show that mentally all sense has been thrown out the window and my mind is in a strange state because of it.
