📜 Lyrics
My mother told me not to go near mirrors
For it seems that one day
A young boy died through looking at himself too long
People say that they are ravenous
That they hunger for perfect reflection
That their insatiable appetite can even kill
Many of those among us who lose themselves in mirrors
Too many who only live for appearances
Aware that he is not the fairest of all
Man is jealous and evil
And aware that he is not the ugliest of all
Man is boastful and arrogant
The mirrors distort us
They hatch outsized egos inside us
Selfish, self-centred
This is what they are reflecting from mankind
Why help someone, if his misfortune allows us to advance?
Mother told me not to go near mirrors
Because it would seem that the more we look in them more our ears stop listening
And our eyes stop seeing that the world continues to revolve around us

Too many who only live for appearances
Aware that he is not the fairest of all
Man is jealous and evil
And aware that he is not the ugliest of all
