Mirage
Hemstock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Veins pinned down by a stuttering mind,
Blood spills out, always pumping in time,
Voices cry harmoniously,
The haunted sound of melancholy,

Then fast and furious,a glimmer of wisdom,
An epiphany,a lyrical mystery,
But like all things,the end comes too soon,
And all that's left behind is a vague memory,

Floating unconscious,a melody that glides,
A beat to the soul,hidden in our minds,




Never quit escaping,confined by reason,
Inspiration slides in this Mirage of rythm.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hemstock & Jennings's song Mirage suggest the complexities of the human mind and how it can be both a source of inspiration but also a barrier to creativity. The opening lines describe the struggle of ideas being held back by a stuttering mind. The imagery of veins being "pinned down" by the mind suggests a physical sense of being trapped or held back. However, despite the struggle, the blood continues to pump in time, representing the persistence of the creative urge.


The second stanza introduces a glimmer of hope when the mind has an epiphany or "a lyrical mystery". This moment of clarity feels sudden and intense, described as "fast and furious". However, like many moments of inspiration, it comes to an end too soon, leaving only a vague memory behind. This highlights the difficulty of capturing and retaining creative ideas.


The final stanza suggests that music is a way to escape the confines of reason and tap into deeper emotional truths. The melody is described as "floating unconscious", suggesting that it is something not entirely in our control. The alliteration of "mirage of rhythm" draws attention to the ephemeral nature of inspiration, like a mirage that disappears upon closer inspection.

Veins pinned down by a stuttering mind, Blood spills out,allways pumping in time, Voices cry harmoniously, The haunted sound of melancholy, Then fast and furious,a glimmer of wisdom, An epiphany,a lyrical mystery, But like all things,the end comes too soon, And all thats left behind is a vague memory, Floating unconsious,a melody that glides, A beat to the soul,hidden in our minds, Never qiuete escaping,confined by reason, Inspiration slides in this Mirage of rythm.
