Some connections aren't built on romance or warmth, but on something quieter - an understanding that exists between mirrored minds.
This song explores the space where traditional love doesn't quite reach, where people learn to simulate closeness yet still long for something real - something parallel.
It's about the rare ones, the observers, the ones wired differently - who don't fall into love, but sometimes reflect it.

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
They speak of hearts as if they always bloom,
But some of us were wired in colder rooms.
We learn to mimic warmth and light,
A practiced dance beneath the night.
We show the shape but not the flame,
Still hoping someone feels the same.

[Pre-chorus]
Could you accept the absence of love?
Could you find connection above it all?
Could you separate lies from truth -
When mirrored minds reveal more truth

[Chorus]
You catch reflections in distant eyes,
You catch reflections of your mind.
The mirrors here, the mirrors there -
For rare kinds we became (aware)
You catch reflections in distant eyes,
But no one's watching in the night.
The mirrors here, the mirrors there -
For rare creatures we became aware.

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
So we reflect what they expect to see,
A parallel of love - strategically.
Not lies, not truth, just something near,
To keep us close, to kill the fear.
We touch the glass but not the skin -
A ghost of love we wear within.

[Pre-chorus]
Could you accept the absence of love?
Could you find connection above it all?
Could you separate lies from truth -
When mirrored minds reveal more truth

[Chorus]
You catch reflections in distant eyes,
You catch reflections of your mind.
The mirrors here, the mirrors there -
For rare kinds we became (aware)
You catch reflections in distant eyes,
But no one's watching in the night.
The mirrors here, the mirrors there -
For rare creatures we became aware.

[Solo]

[Post-chorus]
I tried to accept the absence of love.
I reached for connection above it all.
I blurred the lies into the truth -
The mirrored mind became my proof.
