Through The Looking Glass
Rublood Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through the looking-glass you're crying
I wonder if they'd give you blood in there

Through the looking-glass

Didn't you know that?
The glass was beginning to melt away
Just like a bright silvery mist (this way)

Waiting for not this way
Watch me not today
Tell me crack the stone down on the floor

Somebody killed something
That's clear at any rate I'm afraid
Ticket please
I haven't got one
There wasn't a ticket office where
I came from

Waiting for not this way
Watch me not today
Tell me crack the stone down on the floor

Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Don't stop

Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Don't stop

Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Don't stop!

Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Through the looking-glass
Don't stop

Waiting for not this way
Watch me not today
Tell me crack the stone down on the floor

Waiting for not this way
Watch me not today
Tell me crack the stone down on the floor

I cannot move

my feet
I cannot feel my legs
I cannot feel my arms
I cannot shout or scream

The lyrics of Rublood's song "Through The Looking Glass" paint the picture of an ominous, disturbing scene. The first verse describes someone crying on the other side of a mirror while the singer muses about whether they could give that person blood "in there," suggesting that this may be some sort of medical or supernatural situation. The chorus then repeats the phrase "through the looking-glass" as if in a trance, and the second verse introduces more confusion and surreal imagery, with the glass starting to melt away and someone possibly killing something. The lines "I haven't got one / there wasn't a ticket office where I came from" further contribute to the sense of dislocation and uncertainty.

Overall, the song creates an unsettling atmosphere that is enhanced by the repetitive, hypnotic structure of the lyrics and the electronic music backing them. The title is a reference to the famous novel "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll, which follows Alice on a dreamlike journey through a mirror into a strange world. However, Rublood's interpretation of this concept is much darker and more disorienting, showcasing the potential for psychological horror that lies beneath the surface of Carroll's whimsy.
