Mirror Saw Lyrics
[whispered]: Through the window, blowing in, ??? message ensured
walk within car passes terminal empty cracks started
showing through unlisted mystery a dead child was thrown
through a window wind opens windows (will
winds/whirlwinds?) carry promises true will unleash us
(will?/little?) dogs bite flesh, biting, exposing,
freezing the soul, whirlwind blowing through the
(door?soul?sore?)
(gift/guilt?/kid?) crashes ceiling no fantasies gone ages ago
(mixtures?reaches?wasted?) crashes through privacy gone ages ago
(mixtures?reaches?wasted?) freezes hands, pale, lighter,
frozen paintings, illumination, illumination gone,
illumination, illumination gone, illumination not wrong,
[whispered] (ages ago?, kill me?, ages?)
sides heaving, chest boxed in, (I will find the real
you/finally heal you?), lighter, hand in smokes,
(thieves/speaks?) my treasures, there to know, I write a note,
tossed aside, tossed aside, (word?) shines through a
powder, baby the real you, blood shines through a powder,
reads the real you, love shines through a
powder, feel the real you, (what?/word?/love?) shines
through a powder, final curtain, what's become of me and you?

I think this is about prominent people who deliberately try to shroud their lives in mystery to conceal some form of crime or indiscretion, and when found out they bluster and deny even though the evidence is plain for everyone to see. A mirror reflects reality without bias and without pity. All you have to do to get to the heart of the matter is look at the facts objectively and find out what the mirror saw.
See what I did there? :D Could be way off, it's a beautifully surreal song. Most definitely my favourite track from Last Rights.
