In “Misty Mirror”, it seems like Sneaker is speaking to his reflection in the mirror and trying to figure out what he is seeing there. The track is as relentless as it is bittersweet with its stumbling dark bass synth and the bell-like melody before the pads bring things to an almost orchestral end.
lyrics
Misty Mirror
Blind glass
black mirror.
[3 times]
Is this me
in the mirror
turn your head
see you there
who am I?
Shaking my mind
against the devil inside.
Am I still the same
am I still the same
am I still the same
as yesterday?
close close
closer closer
Will I remember
me talking to you?
Do you know me
walking next to me?
Is this me
in the mirror
turn your head
see you there
who am I?
[repetition in variation]
close close
closer closer
Is this...
Is this me
in the mirror
turn your head.
Is this me
in the mirror
turn your head
see you there.
WHO AM I?
