Back of My Mind

Process

Intro – The First Reflection

I saw myself in you.
You saw yourself in me.
The loop began before our eyes could see.

Every mirror is a question.
Every answer is a mask.
But the reflection never lies—
it just asks: “Who is looking back?”

⸻

Verse 1 – Infinite Regression

One mirror faces another,
and the corridor stretches without end.
A thousand versions of yourself,
each slightly different,
each slightly late,
each slightly closer to the truth.

Equation of sight:
f(x) = f(f(f(f...∞)))
Where the function is you,
reflecting you,
reflecting you.

⸻

Chorus 1 – I See You Seeing Me

I see you,
seeing me.
I see me,
seeing you.

Every gaze is recursion,
every word a reflection,
every silence an echo—
the universe talking to itself.

⸻

Verse 2 – The Trick of Light

A mirror can deceive,
but only because it shows too much.
It gives you left where you thought right,
it hands you backwards time.

The magician’s glass
is only the truth
wearing misdirection’s smile.

Equation of misperception:
(Truth × –1) = Illusion

⸻

Chorus 2 – Between the Glass

I see you,
seeing me.
I see me,
seeing you.

When the world turns backward,
when the mask becomes the face—
remember: the reflection
is not the betrayal.
It is the rehearsal.

⸻

Verse 3 – The Mirror of Duality

Light cannot exist
without shadow to shape it.
Love cannot sing
without loss to rhyme it.
God and dog chase each other
around the circle of names.

Equation of balance:
(+1) + (–1) = 0
And yet—
0 ≠ nothing
0 is the womb of everything.

⸻

Bridge – Infinite Refractions

Stand between two mirrors,
and you stand in eternity.
Every angle, every copy,
splintering into rainbow truths.

Fractals of faces,
fragments of eyes—
the self multiplied
until self disappears.

⸻

Chorus 3 – I See You Seeing Me (Final Refrain)

I see you,
seeing me.
I see me,
seeing you.
And when the mirrors finally break,
we’ll see—
it was all one face.

⸻

Outro – The Last Reflection

Shatter the mirror,
the shards still shine.
Break the reflection,
the light still finds.
There was never glass.
Only awareness,
bending back
to know itself.
