Look in the mirror to see a reflection of you
An everyday occurrance
A mosaic of color strewn across the bathroom
Your canvas your face
Expressive as ever
A line of black
A pinch of pink
Finalized with your lips
In a splash of red
Look in the mirror to see a reflection of you and me
An everyday occurrance
A mosaic of color strewn across the bathroom
Your canvas your face
Expressive as ever
A line of black
A pinch of pink
Finalized with your lips
In a splash of red
Look in the mirror to see a reflection of me
An everyday occurrance
These tears
They scream
They stream
And with some water
The makeup
It melts away
And you fade
You fade away
And I am alone

    Not to rain on anyone's parade; however, I wrote this song. I'm certainly not saying it's worth 88,000 hits, but you have your opinion on Konstantine, and it seems others have their opinion on my music. As before mentioned, I'm sure the 88,000 hits in two days is a total fluke, which I won't attempt to justify.

    Pretty much, what I want to say is you have your opinion on Konstantine (believing it to be the "most beautiful song") and other's have their opinion; sometimes not the same as yours. For example, I'm not a huge fan.

    What it comes down to, is that this site was created with the intention of allowing users to state their interpretation of lyrics, not as one big flaming playground with the purpose of insult and injury.

    I understand your concern with the stats, and if the admin doesn't see it soon, I'll be sure to contact them to fix the list.

    Anyways, have fun, be young, and all that trash.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
