Verse 1:
In a world of polished steel and lights,
We wear our masks, hide our fights.
Every tick, every tock, it’s a race we run,
Chasing shadows, where have we gone?
Chorus:
Who am I in the reflection?
A heartbeat lost in a connection?
The lines get blurred, the truth bends,
Striving for meaning in a world that pretends.
Verse 2:
They build us up, then break us down,
Expectation’s crown, it weighs a ton.
Perfect profiles, as we scroll and swipe,
Are we alive or just prototypes?
Chorus:
Who am I in the reflection?
A heartbeat lost in a connection?
The lines get blurred, the truth bends,
Striving for meaning in a world that pretends.
Bridge:
Are we just circuits, lost in the grind?
Mechanical hearts and a programmed mind?
When the night falls, who will we be?
Just echoes of others or truly, me?
Verse 3:
So here we stand, on the edge of a dream,
Finding the voice in the silent scream.
With every step, we’ll break these chains,
Claiming our hearts, embracing the pains.
Chorus:
Who am I in the reflection?
A heartbeat lost in a connection?
The lines get blurred, the truth bends,
Striving for meaning in a world that pretends.
Outro:
In the mirror of machines, we fight to be free,
To carve our own path, define our decree.
Together we’ll rise, with eyes open wide,
Authenticity lives where our spirits reside.
