Story behind the song
I had so much fun writing this song because it's so eerie. I love the sound and the mood it creates. When I was writing it, I just kept picturing myself looking in the mirror with confusion about who I was and why I use to put up a happy front instead of facing my problem. I got frustrated with my reflection. As if it were mocking me, it kept looking at me with this stoic look that annoyed the crap out of me. Finally after taking a good look at myself and seeing what I didn't want to be, I faced my problem and dealt with it. I hated that mirror. Sydney with a careless expression while I'm asking her these important questions!!! The nerve of that girl, I swear :)
As you can see... I really get into another world when writing. I never REALLY looked in the mirror that way. One BIIIGGG metaphor. Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics
Tossing, Turning
I don't know what to do
I hear a voice
Whispering
Telling me I'll get through
But these struggles
They got me
All torn up inside
Will I make it
Through the night?
The real one's trapped inside
Fighting to be free
And as I let go of burdens
I finally discover me
Mirror, mirror
Tell me wat you see
Am I really
Happy?
Or just pretending to be?
Is my heart cold?
And if so,
Who will make it right?
Will I make it
Through the night?
The real one's trapped inside
Fighting to be free
And as I let go of burdens
I finally discover me
Clearer, clearer
I want my life to be
And if only,
Mirror,
You showed some sympathy
Can you hear me?
Mirror?
Toss that mask aside
I will make it
Through the night.
