In The Looking Glass
from Common Days Hosted by Common Days
This is a song from early transition. I wasn't very sure of myself, and I felt very insecure confronting my gender. Written 2018, only completed in 2023. - Lyrics - [Verse] Another day, another morning The same old hat and same old coat Deep down, I still get the feeling I’m missing something I can’t find By the sink, up at the mirror I see a shadow of myself From my face, down to my body There's something wrong I can't define [Pre-chorus] Is the real me the me people see Or the one that wants so desperate to be free [Chorus] Do you look into the mirror and you see someone you never want to be Do you hear yourself cry 'cause the world around you misidentifies In the looking glass Am I looking at myself or just an image of myself inside the glass And I wonder Are you ready to make the leap into the great unknown wonderland [Bridge] I'm not ready but it's too late I'm already here in this brand new fate I'm not ready but it's too late I'm already here in this strange new fate All the hate and fears All the worried tears What if someone knows What if someone hears Everywhere I go Everyone I know Should I be myself Should I let them know [Pre-chorus] It's a long way home [Chorus 2] Do you look into the mirror and you see the one you've always wanted to be Do you hear yourself cry 'cause the world around you finally realised In the looking glass I can see my former self admire the image of myself inside the glass What a wonder I'm awake and all I wanted is right here in reality
