Mirrorful Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ciyaak Boy 

Cover art for Mirrorful lyrics by Jawbox

its about the glorification of colonialism in the education system, and probably in general. The line "i'm the bitter beneficiaery" suggests this is coming from a cynical white person's perspective of what they are being taught because they know they ultimately benefited from such horrible historical epidemics yet feel angry and maybe ashamed because of that. I wish i could find more songs with this take about wanting to expose and reject ideas of heroicism concerning white heritage and supremecy, its a good message.
