through the looking glass

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Religion collision
What great truths do we know
All things return to zero
Eyes wide open, much clearer
I pass through the mirror
Reflections revealing
There is no way out
There is nothing real
What you know won't help
Only what you feel
Belief turns to doubt
Darkness turns to day
See your own true self
Through the looking glass
Lost in circles of meaning
Repeating, deceiving
A prison confines you
The truth is locked inside you
The opening lines of Through The Looking Glass by din_fiv depict a world in chaos and confusion, with a global breakdown and a collision of religions. The lack of vision compounds the situation, adding to the confusion as to what is real and what isn't. The lyrics suggest that the great truths that we think we know are not necessarily that great and that ultimately, all things return to zero.
The singer in the song, however, finds clarity as they pass through the mirror into a different reality where the endless space within them is revealed through reflections. The realization hits that there is no way out, and there is nothing real. Everything that is known does not matter, and it is only what can be felt that counts. Belief turns to doubt, and darkness turns to day as the true self is seen through the looking glass. Unfortunately, the truth is locked inside the individual, and it is up to the singer to figure out how to break free from this internal prison.
Overall, Through The Looking Glass presents thoughts on existentialism, nihilism, and the idea that there is more to a person than what they might immediately perceive. It suggests that the material world is unimportant and that a deeper understanding and exploration of one's self will lead to a better understanding of the true nature of existence.
