about

The Man in the Mirror is a song about parallel universes and a Jekyll and Hyde relationship between them. I think it was the TV series Fringe that led this line of thought.

lyrics

Fingers touch, the frosted glass
drawing patterns, in the mist
Coldness numbing, finger tips
mirrored lives, that co-exist

Hollow eyes, their mocking stare
veil within, their hidden deceit
What do they know? I cannot say
knowledge is so, incomplete

The Man in the Mirror
looks back at me
The Man in the Mirror
what does he see?
A mirrored image
my reflected soul
The Man in the Mirror
who’s in control?

Close my eyes, block the stare
ponder the lies, that I see
Scornful gaze, echoed in glass
must find the truth, to set me free

Replicating the gaze again
wake to expose, veracity
Reverse imitation, mocking me
questioning my mental capacity

The Man in the Mirror
looks back at me
The Man in the Mirror
what does he see?
A mirrored image
my reflected soul
The Man in the Mirror
who’s in control?


Tears leak, from bloodshot eyes
exhaustion lines, no time to rest
Need to regain, control again
before insanity, is manifest

I cannot recall, what I have done
no evidence, of what is sought
Me or him, who did these deeds?
no idea of, what he thought


The Man in the Mirror
looks back at me
The Man in the Mirror
what does he see?
A mirrored image
my reflected soul
The Man in the Mirror
who’s in control?

Now facing, a conundrum to
escape the future, regain control
I must awake, smash the glass
and free my tortured, mirrored soul

Bloodied shards, reflection smashed
what the hell, do they signify?
Have I escaped, the reflected curse?
a thousand faces, a mirrored lie

The Man in the Mirror
looks back at me
The Man in the Mirror
what does he see?
A mirrored image
my reflected soul
The Man in the Mirror
who’s in control?

The Man in the Mirror
laughs back at me
The Man in the Mirror
is the monster me?
A mirrored image
my imprisoned soul
The Man in the Mirror
have I lost control?
