Mirage
GAEREA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pieces will never tell the whole story
Crushing the unbreakable glass
Heat escaping through the unknowable reflection
An unseen pattern in fragments inside the golden room

To be born in a world of cosmic misrule
Raised outside of the natural order
The bleakest tragedy of human errors
The unbodied puppet show
Glassy shades pulled against the sun
Hiding the light from the fool's sight
Whispers cutting the surface unremarked
Slickly sliding along faulty and clumsy lines
What are you looking for?
Leaving broken bones behind
Upon the treacherous murder
Witchery accursing the past
Nothing but gloom in the horizon
Filled with contractions of fate
Stuck in this restless walk
Life's but a walking shadow

Ticking my steps for nothing
Searching between worlds
To embrace the voices encircling my head
Feeling engulfed by the scars of emptiness

Overcoming the fearful anxiety
Delivering a despairing monologue
A desolated crossroad between awakening and death
Murdering nightmares upon thy survival
Surrounded by the unknown
And overwhelmed with shame
An infinite land filled with sorrow

The lap of a luxury season
That used to be called our soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of GAEREA's song "Mirage" convey a sense of fragmentation, isolation, and existential questioning. The opening lines suggest that there is always more to a story than what can be pieced together, highlighting the limitations of understanding. The image of crushing unbreakable glass signifies a futile attempt to break through barriers and find a deeper truth or meaning.


The reference to heat escaping through an unknowable reflection represents the elusiveness of self-discovery and introspection. There is a suggestion of an unseen pattern within fragments, symbolizing the struggle to find coherence and purpose in a chaotic existence.


The song explores the experience of being born into a world that defies cosmic order, emphasizing the tragedy of human errors and the consequences of living outside the natural order. The imagery of glassy shades hiding the light from the fool's sight suggests a lack of awareness or understanding, while whispers cutting the surface represent the subtlety of life's struggles that often go unnoticed or ignored. The lyrics speak of broken bones, treacherous murder, and the weight of a gloomy horizon, emphasizing a sense of hopelessness and despair.


The second paragraph reflects a search for meaning and connection amidst emptiness and existential unease. The singer navigates between worlds, trying to embrace the voices that surround their mind. The scars of emptiness signify a profound sense of loneliness and longing. Overcoming anxiety and delivering a despairing monologue, the lyrics depict a desolated crossroad between awakening and death, suggesting a fight for survival against nightmarish forces. The unknown and shame overwhelm the individual, highlighting the struggle to find solace and meaning in a sorrow-filled infinite land.


Overall, "Mirage" portrays a bleak and introspective perspective on existence, with themes of fragmentation, isolation, and the search for meaning in a chaotic and unforgiving world.
