Hey Mirror

From the album: Unraveled Veils

Intro - instrumental

Verse 1
Hey face in the mirror,
My reflection that shows me
The shield I present
To the outside world.

Verse 2
Hey face in the mirror,
You can read me so well,
You know my inner state
Whether happy or sad.

Chorus
Hey face in the mirror,
You greet me every day,
You faithfully appear
Whenever I am looking for you.

Verse 3
Hey face in the mirror,
You know me so well,
I can't fool you by saying I am ok
When I'm not.

Verse 4
Hey mirror, reflection of my life,
You have shown how I changed
From child to adult,
My personal companion.

Chorus
Hey face in the mirror,
You greet me every day,
You faithfully appear
Whenever I am looking for you.

Verse 5
Hey mirror, you show
How after all this time
My face once so smooth
Now tells the story of my life.

Verse 6
A drawing of lines
By laughter and sadness,
My hair color once black
Now all shades of grey.

Verse 7
Hey mirror, always there,
You show me
My outer shield,
Once young now old.

Bridge
Young or old,
Happy or sad,
You are always there,
My personal companion.
You show me
When it is time
To find comfort
And heal my inner child.

Virtuoso solo - instrumental

Verse 8
Hey mirror, you told me
I was not ok,
I took time to listen and learn
What I really need.

Outro

A smile appears on my reflection,
Hey mirror,
You are smiling at me,
I feel fulfilled.

See you tomorrow.

Hey mirror, see you tomorrow,
My personal companion,
Will you be there
When I am looking for you?

Outro - instrumental

Musical style concepts

Delicate female voice adds a slightly melancholic gliding melody, with the occasional tremolo to a sparse trip hop track, intriguing pensive vibe, music stays more in the background providing rhythmic support to the singing.
