| The Birthday Massacre – Looking Glass Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| When a song really speaks to you, it's like you automatically can understand it better which is how this song is for me. Don't take the video so literal. The whole video is a metaphor. It's basically saying it's about someone who was being controlled by their significant other. He was making her (or trying to make her) into what he wanted her to be. He made her feel she wasn't good enough and was filling her head full of nails and telling her what she should and shouldn't do and how she should be. She was doing it to please him, because she couldn't see he was the bad guy. She was so enamoured by him she thought he was perfect and etc..."A fool's devotion was set in motion"...she was doing everything he wanted her to, and she was losing herself in the process. she finally opened her eyes and realized him for who he was. Realized she was doing things to try to make him love her, when he would never accept her for who she is. the teacher thing is just a clever metaphor. The masks in the video sort of represent that she was becoming like all of his other previous (and maybe even present) "toys"...just clinging to him and not seeing him for what he was...she was losing herself behind that mask...and becoming a face in the crowd so to speak | |
