im probably wrong but this song seems to have a link with mirror mirror except i recon its directed at a girl. shes conforming... but "the happy face mask you wear doesnt cover up the colour of your hair" makes it as if everyone can see beyond the act, and see who the person really is. thats all i can analyze from this song
