view from the mirror - halloomi lyrics

[verse 1]
full of thunder no room left for dinner
she wonders how bruises could brew from within her
true she used to be thinner
unsuitably pretty and glued to the view from the mirror
the images vivid it seems to consume her
delivered as new news that grew from a roomer
through computer screens, the tv, her route to work
and even through the words of the humans she meets
she used to be beautiful
in hеr head that’s the headlinе
’cause who’s to presume that this news isn’t said right
she moves back to her bedside the view from the mirror
to consider what steps might improve on her figure
cigarettes for stress liquor for silence
creams for the desperate need to be vibrant
and diets supplied by the media
leading her to question her reflection
and to buy what they’re feeding her
it’s evil but it seems to work with words lethal
and every magazine is just a means to hurt people
until they lead us to the worst that we’ve felt
and that’s the reason we can’t seem to surface from h*ll
turn weak as we see their blurred versions of health
that we then seek to achieve for their personal wealth
and it’s a scheme that we certainly sell
till we can all learn to see the worth in ourselves
[verse 2]
full of fire no time for a chat
the man bites his tongue and decides to attack
true he’s kind but he’s kind of a tw*t
and he proved that tonight with how he likes to react
see this lion’s got to fight for his pack
as a truth of his science don’t deny him of that
well fine but the fact is there’s still wounds to consider
as the lion gets distracted by the view from the mirror
confused why he’s loosing his usual figure
filled with the blues ’cause he used to be bigger
sick of his size under pressure again
’cause he figures all fights are a measure of strength
it’s a lesson that men teach and preach to each other
aggression is key to keep peace
and we suffer from this message repeating each week from these bothers who confess there defeat to bleak tv coverage man
we need courage as screens circle us
and turn us into puppets that believe words of journalists
a bloke should be strong a bloke should be merciless
and if a bloke’s not then f*ck knows what his purpose is
on the surface it’s the seeds of misdirection
but deeper there’s a person that is dealing with depression
and he questions why the media’s increasing this connection
between him and the demons that he sees in his reflection

[hook]
it’s the news and it’s images that trigger the brain
it’s the view from the mirror that delivers the pain
it’s the weaknesses we see that we consider to blame
but it’s the media that leads us to the mirror again
[hook]
it’s the news and it’s images that trigger the brain
it’s the view from the mirror that delivers the pain
it’s the weaknesses we see that we consider to blame
but it’s the media that leads us to the mirror again
