A blind eye turns as life disbands the gavel strikes by unseen hands, The scales unbalanced - Truth? Hard to reach, Sold by madness - Bought too cheap. The quiet march, unheard, unseen. Its tragic tears the Mirror weeps Not passive but so raw so deep Elected lunacy serves the machine. They crawl they pray, to rise to kneel The patterns, the laws, the ancient sincerity Buried beneath this man-made inaccuracy. To come ~ to go ~ to stay ~ to stray? Freedom feels so far away. I have intentionally not included the lyrics on this Video Musical so as not to distract you from the video and music. I invite you to make your own interpretation on this and let me know in the comments either here or on YouTube, it would be awesome if you commented on both. You can follow the lyrics on the subtitles of the video or if wish you can see the transcript on the YouTube video itself. I asked for my subscribers to comment on what their explanation were. I’m pasting Freddy Max’s very astute and comprehensive comment which I think was the best. Freddy is an excellent lyricist and composer in his own right - @FreddyMaxOfficial YouTube comment I am absolutely moved by this song and video, as it vividly captures what I know as the “dark night of the soul” or the descent into shadow where ego identities begin to dissolve, and everything that once defined us starts to feel hollow and unfamiliar. Listening to “Smoke and Mirrors” felt like standing at the edge of an inner threshold or the moment where the self begins to unravel not out of despair, but out of necessity. Spiritually, it felt like a sacred shedding where the names, roles, and voices I once clung to quietly surrendered to something truer beneath. The mirror in the song is not just reflective, it’s transformative. It weeps, it distorts, but it also invites. It asks, “Who are you beneath all this?” The video feels like a dark initiation. Not darkness as evil, but as mystery, or perhaps the fertile, uncomfortable silence where old identities die and the true self begins to emerge. Letting go of identities that no longer serve is one of the scariest paths we walk, but this piece reminded me that we are never alone in that journey. "Smoke and Mirrors" carries the weight of unravelling with reverence, never forcing closure or dimming the mystery, but simply holds the silence long enough for truth to surface. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
