The Hall Of Mirrors / Written By Andrew Shields


I’ve Found Myself Lost In The Hall Of Mirrors
Trapped In This Hell , I’m Surrounded By Sinners
This Self Reflection , Builds Hate Inside
In My Own Evil , True Darkness Confides

I’ve Got Myself Stuck
And Now I’m In Grave Danger
As My Own Reflection Looks Like A Stranger

I’m Face To Face
With The Demon That’s Me
It Seems The Darkness Ate What I used To Be

I’ve Found Myself Lost In The Hall Of Mirrors
Trapped In This Hell , I’m Surrounded By Sinners
This Self Reflection , Builds Hate Inside
In My Own Evil , True Darkness Confides

I’ve Come To Realise
The Darkness Behind My Eyes
Its Cause By My Anger , My Hate And My Lust
For The Person I Look At , I Feel Nothing But Disgust

I’ve Found Myself Trapped In A Maze Of Mirrors
Lost In My Own Hell , I’m Surrounded By Sinners
I’m Forced To Face My Demons Inside
In This God Forsaken Place It Seems I Can’t Hide

This was a cryptic idea I had about self hatred , so I thought I would give this my full attention for a few weeks and I came out with this , I’m quite happy about it . Also this is the 11th song I have finished for a planned upcoming album which is hopefully going to be titled The Hall Of Mirrors under the artistic name of HellOHell (Hello Hell) . I have acquired the help of some good friends of mine who are all talented musicians , they are hopefully going to help me with the writing and recording and hopefully I can get all of this rapped up during June / July. But I’m in doubts about my courage , I’m still s**ting myself at the idea of me singing , but I hope it all works out in the end , oh and comments please

This is a great lyric and you have written it really well..and hey, i'd love to hear you singing......love this Andy...glyn

Andy, you've written from a very introspective POV and raw emotion, both good things in my book.

Good luck with your cd, and it would be great to hear you sing!

lol thanks girls means a lot

HiYa Young Andy~!

No Need to fear singing...it's Ideally just like havin' a chat..into a microphone. If you can talk, you can sing...just have the Autotune nearby.

On to The Song: Methinks there's an Overabundance of "I's". You don't NORMALLY mention-yourself in daily conversation, & such should be the case here too. There's also more'n one spot here where Pruning Syls & Words would help, too, JMO.

That-in-Mind, V1 might look more like this:

Found Myself Lost in the Hall of Mirrors
Trapped in This Hell (&) Surrounded by Sinners
Self-Reflection Builds Hate Inside
In My Own Evil, Darkness COLLIDES...

Got Myself Stuck
Now..In Grave Danger
As My Reflection SHOWS ME a Stranger...

Face-to-Face with The Demon That's Me
Seems Darkness HIDES What I Used To Be...

KOS, Amigo...but I like your Concept & Hook &...It's Getting There~

Good Luck & Best Wishes, Big Guy-Hug too,
Stan

okay thanks a tun stan , but , big BUT here

you used the word "collides" , i used "confides" for a reason , to show how the darkness has bestoed itself onto me , and then you used "hides" , i used "ate" to show that it has engulfed my soul , im not literally talking about myself btw , its fro some ones point of view , and tbh you cant not have a song about yourself with out "I" in it , it'll just seem stupid

Hi Andy. I really like this one. Very introspective but universal in it's appeal. Lots of folks should be able to relate to it me thinks. Great job of communicating your feelings

Steve

thanks stevie , its muchly appreciated

Hey Andy,

MY only comment is you better let me know when I can buy this cd!!!!

Oh and really like the lyric: nice gothic feel, and really like the whole Hall of Mirrors idea, love the line about your own reflection looks like a stranger. Gives me that Dorian Grey vibe which is cool.

I know you say it is about self hatred, but there is also that very scary idea of facing your own truth as well, at least that is what I get out of it.

Well done Andy

Cheers

Alan
