Black Mirror

Story Behind The Song

Inspired by the series 'Black Mirror' after watching an interview with the creator Charlie Brooker. His series is a scary look at how humans could use technology in they worst way possible. He was asked about where the name came from. His answer was that people use devices so often, that the only reflection they see of themselves may be when the device is turned off and the black screen reflection looks back.

Lyrics

Hey Pretty lady
Speak to me
While Handsome man
shows more
We're all just fishing
Swimming, living in a bowl
Your beauty is a golden ticket
Lacking empathy
the vanity bleeds deep
And only just for me
Pre chorus
For me
Chorus
Black Mirror
When the lights go out
Black Mirror
And the party stops
Black Mirror
There's a vision in the
Black mirror for me
Black Mirror
When the voltage fights
Black Mirror
The impending night
Black Mirror
There's a vision in the
Black mirror for me



Verse II
Beauty is a
Smokescreen for
Monsters that hide inside you
They only feed on greed
With Clicks and likes
Left just for me
For me
Pre chorus
For me
Chorus
Black Mirror
When the lights go out
Black Mirror
And the party stops
Black Mirror
There's a vision in the
Black mirror for me
Black Mirror
When the voltage fights
Black Mirror
The impending night
Black Mirror
There's a vision in the
Black mirror for me





Bridge
Same face different day
(I want more)
Same face different pose
(what the hell??)
No change
Only they know
(they don't know)
What changed?
Only they know
Chorus
Black Mirror
When the lights go out
Black Mirror
And the party stops
Black Mirror
There's a vision in the
Black mirror for me
Black Mirror
When the voltage fights
Black Mirror
The impending night
Black Mirror
There's a vision in the
Black mirror for me
Outro
I've got a boy band mind
Without the boy band body

Opening guitar riff reminiscent of Message in a Bottle but the song becomes quite different as it develops. (I'm a great Andy Summers fan!) Well written song, good feel, well performed and excellent recording.

Fantastic song. Incredible vocals, backing vocals, tremendously intelligent lyrics. Originality is off the charts. Reminds me so much of some of Pearl Jam's finest stuff. If a song like this can't make it, it only makes me that much madder at some of the crap that is making it out there today. Great song!
