Lyrics of Mirror Reflection & The Hammer Reinvention by Woods of Ypres
verse
I was right along
And I was wrong to believe
Foolish to doubt the self-respecting truths
I learned while suffering
Nothing happens for any reason
There is no plan
We are all just random beings
Not destined for anything
chorus
The world is nothing
Disguised as something it is not
Aspire to be something
Appearing as you really are
verse
Dig deep to find your strength
Trust that wisdom comes with age
But when ways of old have been outgrown
Don't hesitate to chop them down
Once you've been levelled out
Reconnect with yourself again
When new ideas have led you astray
Return yourself to who you once became
chorus
The world is nothing
Disguised as something it is not
Aspire to be something
Appearing as you really are
bridge
Cut yourself down to the stem
Stand upon level ground again
Tear yourself all the way down
And rebuild yourself in solitude
verse
When left alone
The forests renew themselves
When left alone
Man improves himself as well
outro
You always knew
One day, you would destroy me
And I always knew
I would have to be the one to restore me
verse
Your need for self-reflection is a reflection of you and a sign of the times
Your use of self-expression is a weapon in the age in which we live
When you hold the hammer, you are the weapon
Smash the mirror for seven years of sacrifice
When you hold the mirror, you're in reflection
Reflect the truth and not the curse of superstition
chorus
I thought you were taking pictures of me
But that was just the lights burning out
It was no one's dream to follow me
When everyone wants to be followed themselves
verse
Your self-expression is a reflection of the mind
Use it to make your peace with yourself, those around you, and the age in which you live
Make peace with the age in which you live
verse
Your need for self-reflection is a reflection of you and a sign of the times
Your use of self-expression is a weapon in the age in which we live
When you hold the hammer, you are the weapon
Smash the mirror for seven years of sacrifice
When you hold the mirror, you're in reflection
Reflect the truth and not the curse of superstition
chorus
I thought you were taking pictures of me
But that was just the lights burning out
It was no one's dream to follow me
When everyone wants to be followed themselves
verse
Your self-expression is a weapon of the mind
Use it to defend yourself, threaten others, and enhance your life
Threaten others and enhance your life
verse
Your need for self-reflection is a reflection of you and a sign of the times
Your use of self-expression is a weapon in the age in which we live
When you hold the hammer, you are the weapon
Smash the mirror for seven years of sacrifice
When you hold the mirror, you're in reflection
Reflect the truth and not the curse of superstition
chorus
I thought you were taking pictures of me
But that was just the lights burning out
It was no one's dream to follow me
When everyone wants to be followed themselves
