Mirage
Quiet Steps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make sure that this structure is real when the walls look to be thin sure that we've been here before
But this time it's just not familiar our sense of recognition distorted by inhabitants we fill a void
Trusting when so unaware let our eyes assume a place was always there find we end here outlines of
Elements flickering translucent if we can't imagine a better life where do we turn for direction reach
Out find nothing counteract all holograms persistence fucking up god's plan
Dead sea
The song Mirage by Quiet Steps is filled with thought-provoking lyrics that prompt a deep analysis of the track. The opening line, "Make sure that this structure is real when the walls look to be thin," speaks to the importance of knowing what is real versus what is just an illusion. In life, appearances can be deceiving, and it's important to recognize that things may not be as they seem. The singer then goes on to say, "sure that we've been here before, but this time it's just not familiar," indicating a sense of déjà vu but with a different outcome.
The lyrics then address the human need to fill a void, which can sometimes lead to trust when we are unaware. However, this trust can create an issue when we assume a place was always there, but it actually wasn't. The final lines, "reach out find nothing counteract all holograms persistence fucking up god's plan" allude to the idea that we may not have control over our lives, and by trying to create or control situations, we can potentially interfere with the greater plan.
This track is full of deep and meaningful lyrics that could be interpreted in many ways, leaving room for thought and contemplation. It speaks to the power of perception and the need for recognition to avoid falling into the trap of illusions.

Be cautious and double-check the authenticity of this situation when it appears fragile, and although it seems familiar, it may not be so.
But this time it's just not familiar our sense of recognition distorted by inhabitants we fill a void
This situation may bear some resemblance to the past, but our perception of it is warped by the people present, and we try to satisfy our emptiness with their presence.
Trusting when so unaware let our eyes assume a place was always there find we end here outlines of
In our ignorance, we put our faith in what we see, assuming it has always existed, but often find ourselves in a place that only outlines the remnants of something that once was.
Elements flickering translucent if we can't imagine a better life where do we turn for direction reach
The fundamental aspects of our reality appear hazy and almost transparent, leaving us lost and confused about our direction if we cannot envision a better future.
Out find nothing counteract all holograms persistence fucking up god's plan
Our attempts to break free from the illusions that we are surrounded by are futile, and our consistent efforts in doing so disrupt the natural course of the universe.

This short line is left up to interpretation, but it is likely used to summarize the bleak and hopeless nature of the preceding lyrics.
