about

A song about perspectives and how even the slightest shifts can alter or distort them.

lyrics

Tell me how we going to get to freedom
When we can't get off this track
Takes us down to darkness
Has us hoping we'll come back
When the light comes
Make it happen
Let it bring me to the truth

Tilt the mirror, I see a different me
Tilt the mirror, I see another you
Tilt the mirror, it all comes into view

In a moment
We can lose the fascination
If you know what you would choose
Then take it
When the river bursts
We all begin to swim
When the trigger rusts
You know you're giving in
Take the time to be on the right side

Tilt the mirror, I see a different me
I said I tilt the mirror, I see a different you
Tilt the mirror, it all comes into view

Tell me how come, we don't know
The way the wind blow
When it's tearing us down?

And how come, we don't care
If our own dying comes
Before we getting grey?
