in this song, Robert Smith is lost. He as at the point in his life where is getting older (also check out the song 39 off bloodflowers) for the better half of his life he has been in the spotlight, only reckognized by this image he portrays. and the frustration of drawing the boundary between Rockstar and human being is driving him insane, in an abyss of lust and excess. he finds himself with a hooker in japan, and this leads him too his breaking point questioning his life. he looks in the mirror and it reflects a lost soul, and he sees the mess he has become.
