The Looking Glass

from Part I: Songs About a Boy by SOLIA

about

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, a frantic, hectic song about mixed signals

lyrics

Say hello
Like a stranger from a distance
With a smile
Or is it more than meets the eye?
I can't make it out
I try to fake it
But I can't hold on anymore

No matter how hard I fight to dress it up
Maybe my message got a little mixed up
Maybe he just didn't need me enough
The way that I did when I fell through

The looking glass
The very first time I set eyes on you
My heart beats faster and faster
Every time he walks into the room
Do you see me?
Can you hear me?
My songs calling out to you
Reaching out
Crying out
Screaming out to you

We pass by
Like two lovers in disguise
Or maybe that's just me telling lies
Either way it's a two-way street
Some understanding has to pass between the lines
Those blurry lines

Whatever it is I fight to dress it up
Maybe my message got a little mixed up
Maybe he just didn't need me enough
The way that I did when I fell through

The looking glass
The very first time I set eyes on you
My heart beats faster and faster
Every time he walks into the room
Do you see me?
Can you hear me?
My songs calling out to you
Reaching out
Crying out
Screaming out to you

I don't want to feel this hurt
I don't want to feel this way
I don't want your pity
I am not ashamed
Maybe I like my heart just a little bit raw
Maybe you like your hearts just a little bit raw

Whatever it is I fight to dress it up
I don't care if I'm a little mixed up
But I'm not gonna lie
It hurts to not be needed enough
The way that I did
When I fell through the looking glass

about

SOLIA image

SOLIA Washington, D.C.

Music sets my soul on fire. It’s how I connect with people and the world around me. I like to dance barefoot in the grass. I write songs and sing them, and they belong to you.

Remember: Fitting in is vastly overrated, and being “normal” is an illusion. So don’t ever be afraid to be a little weird.
