The Thirty Years War - Mirrors Are More Fun Than Television

(Girl):
Pick me up around 8:00, and make sure you're not late! I'll wear my dress with white lace, Tonight you can crash at my place...
(Boy):
And she gave up everything, to hold me for just one day, and I loved it when I heard her!
(Boy):
Tonight I must say, you look great, the moon shines rearview, to her face. I brought some cologne just in case, the scent of my car, keeps us safe...
(Girl):
And he gave up everything, to hold me for just one day, and I loved it when I heard him say...
(Boy):
Tonight, is the night, i'm gonna make her mine...
You will, or you won't, cause everything is just fine...
Her lips, are so soft I think I could just die...
I know this is so, but what's going on in her mind...
(Boy):
She asked if I had fun and I acted cool, I said it was ok. We started to talk but were cut short cause in the distance I could see a shining star! And as the headlights get hot on my face I can see her there, next to me...
And just because I wasn't sincere before, doesn't mean I deserve what I got then on that night I wonder is it ok to cry? Should I call for help? Should I go to her side? When I did I couldn't believe what I saw... SHE SAID!!! "Oh honey, honey, hold me one more time, all I want is for you to look in my eyes, take my hand, don't let me go!!!
Move forward, don't forget, the time we spent! Goodbye's are cheap, but for what it's worth, you meant everything to me!
I'm doing just fine on my own, but I look back on that night sometimes... And though you may not have a friend in this world, you'll always have me...

Address Unknown brings me here. Mirrors truly are more fun than television.

[@smileswrappedingauze]

haha two max payne ii references, so good. my favorite game ever. i always loved 'address unknown' when it would come on the little televisions. i had the idea to write a song about it too, but thirty years war beat me to it, the bastards.

[@omarijuana8133]

“Im doing just fine on my own, but I look back on that night sometimes” This lyric has been playing over and over in my head. Finally found the song again. Brings me back. Who’s listening in 2020?

[@Ziggerath]

this song has so much emotion! id love for thomas to remake this on the next album

[@NLORGx]

Boy do I have news for you!

[@willowcanaday1097]

Guess what happened!

[@Kevins202]

Aaaaand he did!

[@HiddenCare]

It's plain and simple, yet beautiful, a masterpiece in my opinion, I love it. Couldn't be any better in my opinion.

[@quintuscaecilusiucundusthe8997]

even though i'd like to hear them re-record this with better quality equipment, i don't think it would be the same or would have the loaded emo high school feelings that this has tbh

[@gumshake689]

They actually are re-recording it, I just saw them on their snapchat (thesnapoftroy) and they were mixing this song

[@quintuscaecilusiucundusthe8997]

wait seriously?!? that sounds amazing!! glad they're revisiting their older stuff (as i read on reddit a while back that they didn't plan on going back to any of the thirty years war stuff or something along those lines)

[@gumshake689]

Although I'm not super sure though

[@brandoncarroll9036]

I went to the show they did in July at Soma and talked to Thomas for a bit after. He told my friend and I that they were re-recording it since they know how to portray the songs better than when they first did it when back in highschool. So its definitely gonna happen

[@blues713317]

Ask and you shall receive, this has been remastered for their new album that came out yesterday!!!

[@abstractbassTCC]

TY for putting this song with its lyrics up on youtube man they really were an amazing band

[@tylertwinkletips1745]

One word, beautiful.

[@200_MXP]

one of my all time favourites for sure

[@primozuado]

this is beautiful and awsome

[@mattrowzee2640]

So stoked that they are back in action. Should be getting a new LP soon, I'm so hyped!

[@mattrowzee2640]

Update: lp is out and amazing. It's called OK, check it out

[@swankyswigs21]

love the end of this description. RIP TFOT.

[@giubjs]

THE BEST SONG EVER FOR THE ALL WORD!

[@schalleepimp101]

if thomas played this song ever again for any audience anywhere, there wouldnt be a dry eye in the place.

[@nathankyei350]

[@ssleepshady]

Tonight you can CRASH at my place. I love this song

[@stephaniecastillo7398]

tonight, is the night im gonna make him mine...!!! xD you will or you wont cause everything is just fine...his lips are so soft I think I could just die...!!! n.n i love this song :3

[@CHAINWALLET1]

good taste in music

[@Dopp1249]

i like!

[@ifyourequiet]

this isnt techincally by The Fall of Troy, but rather by their name when they had two guitarists, The 30 Years War.

[@JJJaakeeEe]

This song legitimately makes my eyes water. Still fucking love this song.

[@konghey]

Mirrors Are More Fun Than Television is a quote from a game called "Max Payne."

[@anthonygavin1425]

I just came here for Max Payne, not for this masterpiece. I dont belong here

[@anthonygavin1425]

I do now

[@anthonygavin1425]

I do now more than I ever could, I am complete.

[@anthonygavin1425]

5 months later, life is testing and confusing but I will prevail.

[@BLACKPHILANTHROPY]

ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO LOOK *IN MY EYES*

[@justinhenry508]

oh my god....

[@razberryluvr]

I want the melodies for this on Uke so bad. Like, holy shit.

[@PenisCupcake]

that too

[@GRCFilms]

Thomas should redo this with Just Like Vinyl at some point.

[@Kevins202]

He did in the new TFOT album!

[@hattorinarwhal]

damn, the lyrics are so beautiful

[@themerceless1]

hattorinarwhal They definitely are man, I'm curious as to what your opinion is on the Phantom on the Horizon EP

[@hattorinarwhal]

Jim Lahey well I think it's great, just like every record they've made :)

[@SinisterComplex]

Thomas Erak has often mentioned that he was influenced by Nirvana. This song definitely shows that

[@Elusory]

@xRyuzakii Oh. My god. Since I assume you know plenty about TFOT/30YW/TT, who was involved in the car accident (mirrors lyrics), Tim or Thom? Because I've heard both names

[@fergar0206]

@blink182skaterforlif In frostwire look for thirty years war and theres a discography that has all of the songs from their first EP

[@pasionxrock]

Godly sounds...

[@xRyuzakii]

@ericoneill34 I don't really know, i've heard both names too. And yes, i love them :)

[@Cuervo4992]

my favorite fucking song

[@UnderstatedMeaning]

@myheroRJW12 He is starting to push his new project. Just Like Vinyl.

[@GRCFilms]

@bigace511 Yeah, but didn't he say that about all his olod songs? And he did redo one of them with the new band.

[@MrShadowslayer540]

oh so this is the orignal, thats why it sounds scrathcy . Still love this song. RIP TFOT

[@Elusory]

@xRyuzakii ha ha. oh yeah? when?

[@rayjay460]

*clap*clap*clap*clap*

[@bigace511]

@GRCFilms he said hes NEVER playing this song again.

[@greezeberg]

im about to fucking cry dude

[@myheroRJW12]

whats Thomas Erak doing now?

[@xRyuzakii]

@schalleepimp101 Actually, he did.

[@petsBenham]

if you knoq minor 9th chords on uke you can figure it out

[@PenisCupcake]

ok than, "how do you think SOME of us got here?"

[@bigace511]

@GRCFilms no just mirrors

[@MrShadowslayer540]

hes right i didnt come here because of max payne i dont have the game so explain that gag haha.

[@lecheesemeister]

tell me why

[@GagReflexSwagReflex]

Then at that point, how does this contradict konghey's comment at all? Lol...

[@PenisCupcake]

how do you think most of us got here?

[@HiddenCare]

I just understood another version of the lyrics, eventually they fall in love they get in a relationship and she dies, he remembers the time they spent, he doesn't want to say goodbye because she'll always be in his memory and he says to her "im doing just fine on my own" Bro i'm so deep i can't even see myself
