Stranger In The Mirror

November 10, 2008 19:39 by Me

This is probably shite, but I recorded a version of this song the other night.  Maybe if I can listen to the song and not find something wrong with it I'll post the mp3 sometime.

Anyway, here are the words:

I see him staring at me, Who is this guy?
I see him every day, no matter how hard I try.
I hide all reflectors, I try and stay away
Cover up that stranger... Make him go away

His hair's a mess, his beard is long. I try and stare him out.
Make him go away, a silent scream and shout.
His arms are cut and red, his shirt is stained
And all the joy and love and the life is drained.

Cos I don't know the man I see in the mirror
His face has changed, his eyes are cold, and he's looking older.
I knew the one before.  The happy, smiling guy.
But I hear he's gone

I asked him to tell me what it is I should do.
But he's no fuckin' use to no one, he has no fuckin clue.
I hear him laughing at me, as I walk away.
I hear them laughing at me, every fucking day.

Cos I don't know the man I see in the mirror
His face has changed, his eyes are cold, and he's looking older.
I used to know the one before.  The happy, smiling one.
But I hear he's gone far far away.

Yep, I know where you're coming from with that one. I can't offer any advice. Do you know why you hate him? Maybe you could try talking to him about it Smile
On a serious note, the lyrics are quite sound. Do you play an instrument then?

Yea, I play guitar... not amazingly. But enough to get by...

I think I hate him because he's not the guy I thought he'd be. He's not living the life that I thought he would lead. He knows everything he *should* do to make things better, and he still doesn't do it. Useless cunt...

I'm gonna play at open mic night sometime soon, so you can come and see how wonderfully average I am. Hahaha...

Cheers...

Change the pronouns and that's me at the moment. I want the fire back.

Vivid imagery. Great lyrics.

Thanks DS - Sorry you're still in a shitty place, hopefully when you "escape from hell" things will sort themselves out.

I know it all sounds shite, but if you can cling on to the fact that sometimes things aren't shite... then it's easier to get through the day.

Cheers...

Oh... and PK... I've heard you sing. Useless cunt.

This song is really horrible, but the Lyrics is sound. No matter who is he... You are likely the worst recording artist the work has ever seen, this has been clear that the song "Stranger in the Mirror" is attracted all.

Bravo!
