[KotaP #08] Mirror Room | I no longer know whose smile that was

As KotaP, I create music together with AI.

This 8th track is titled
"Mirror Room"

The theme is a dialogue with "another self."
It is a song that depicts the quiet, painful conflict
when you face the "self" that lives on, unfulfilled,
and the sense of discomfort hidden behind a smile,
reflected in the mirror.

Days bound by what is "correct."
The moment I realized I was smiling while feeling empty inside.
The "true self" and the "performing self" blend together,
until eventually, the boundary disappears—

I have captured that quiet scream from the depths of the heart in words like poetry and melody.

🎵 Mirror Room

If I smile and say "I'm fine,"
the world keeps spinning smoothly today.
I'm sure I'm the one making it happen,
yet, in truth, my breath is shallow.

Staring intently from deep within the mirror,
not me, but someone like me.
Those eyes know,
that every time I smile, I become hollow.

Mirror Room, two people passing by.
"That smile, who is it for?"
The melting voice blurs.
"Stop it." "Notice me."
But... which one of us is me now?

The applause turns into noise,
there is no warmth in the gazes.
Even the warmth of the hands I touched,
I forgot just a moment ago.

Madness mocks me,
"You've always been pretending not to notice."
A shadow swaying on the broken water surface,
even though I actually knew.

Mirror Room, the discomfort blends together.
"If you aren't here, I will disappear."
Nameless emotions say,
"Destroy me." "Don't run away."
But there is nowhere left to run.

What was it that tore through the silence?
Who was it inside me?
The proof that I am here,
is now just a monologue.

Was it a wish?
Was it a curse?

Mirror Room, in a night without answers.
"This must be our correctness."
Which one of us reached out?
I don't even know that anymore.

Mirror Room, a mirror that doesn't reflect.
I felt like someone smiled softly.
If you are still there,
please stay silent for a little longer.

(...Don't let me end.)

If this song can gently stay close to your heart,

for those of you who thought, "I think I understand,"

I would be happy.
