lyrics:
brain dead
spend all my time sedated
hey mom and dad, i made it
graduated from the a-list to the basement
yeah
who knows? who cares?
(it hurts to see the truth)
house of mirrors out there
(reflected back at you)
vacant
spend all my time debating
like a worm when the rain ends
trying to make it off the pavement
where the grass is
cuz everything is greener in my head
i guess that's why i feel so disappointed
and i don't wanna deal with the consequence
does it matter in the end?
who knows? who cares?
(it hurts to see the truth)
house of mirrors out there
(reflected back at you)
who knows? who cares?
(it hurts to see the truth)
house of mirrors out there
(reflected back at you)
who knows? who cares?
who knows? who cares?

@@Softcultband You're welcome, and thank YOU for making music for people to listen to. I listen to mostly metal so it's always cool when a band from outside that genre kinda breaks through the wall so to speak. Keep it up!

@@VicariousVoid Check out their early stuff from their Courage My Love days. It's their best work in my opinion. They were a great pop punk band.

I was grinding for the upcoming deadline. Then I pressed 'play'. Now I'm back in the 90s in my room watching MTV with no worries about the bills, the rent, or any deadlines. For that, I thank you.

[@Softcultband]

thank YOU

[@StellarStreak]

I am so in love with the vibe that this song emanates. That dreamy, echoing, ethereal sound running in conjunction with the seamless guitar riff and the hook worthy drum beat. Kind of has a similar feel to the songs from the artist "Beach House". The message that the artists wish to convey through this song is one of "self - realisation" and coming to terms with the actual truth and not hiding from it. This is signified by the name of the song "House of Mirrors" since mirrors are just about one of the few things that truly reflect back to make you see who you truly are, and not some altered/imagined version of you. The hard truth is always ugly since we all are never perfect, content, satisfied and maybe even happy. It is never very comfortable to see us in the actual state of mind we are in and more importantly why we came to be in that deplorable state in the first place. P.S.: Can't stop listening to this one. This coupled with "Unity" from Royskopp have been on repeat for me over the past few days. Cheers! To the artist for creating such a beautiful content. 🥂🥂

Ok, this is my favorite song of the year. I'm a huge music fan. I have a rateyourmusic account with 3371 ratings. So I'm listening to music day to day. I have a lot of fav bands and albums, and I check weekly which album and release are coming soon. So after that too I think that it's a miracle. A true miracle. The sound, the melody, the vibe. It is definitely a 10/10. The video quality, the pictures, the settings are just amazing too. Unbelievable. I need to support your works. I didn't pay before never for just a song. So far. It will be going to change this time. And I will buy the first EP too of Softcult. Thank girls! Keep going this way!
