Lyric

Rearview Mirror

Tera Kira

I see the horizon fade within the glass

Every road I take pulls me closer to the dark

A ghost sits quietly in the seat beside me

Whispering choices I wish I could rewrite

A photo left forgotten in the glovebox

Of a sunny day, from another time…

And the rearview calls me like a mournful song

Showing every place where I exist…

But no longer…

If you only look back at the past behind you

You’ll never see the road ahead, the broken lines, the new choice

You’ll miss the turning, the sunset, the unexpected grace

Just your tired eyes in that familiar space

Yes, a mirror doesn’t guide, it only shows the dust

Of a life lived in reverse, caught between regrets and despair…

I remember the crossroads painted in vivid hues

I took the worn path where the shadows drift

I built walls, burned bridges to the wind

Echoing farewells I can’t undo

A door slammed, a final word, a fight

A battle lost, abandoning my step…

And the rearview blurs beneath the pouring rain

Revealing all my joy and scorching pain…

It’s gone…

If you only look back at the past behind you

You’ll never see the road ahead, the broken lines, the new choice

You’ll miss the turning, the sunset, the unexpected grace

Just your tired eyes in that familiar space

Yes, a mirror doesn’t guide, it only shows the dust

Of a life lived in reverse, caught between regrets and despair…

So I’ll shatter this mirror… yes, I’ll let it fall

Cracked, distorted, never true at all

The past is just a story I’d change if I could

But it’s a weight I’ll release from this table…

No, I will never look back at the past behind me!

I’ll face the road ahead, wherever it may lead!

I’ll find the turning, feel the sun, embrace the open space!

Not just my tired eyes in that forgotten place!

For a mirror doesn’t guide, it only shows the dust!

I’m done with the past… I’m turning the key!

I’m turning the key!

Rearview… shrinking to a speck…

Just a silver stain…

Far away…

I no longer look back…

No, I no longer look back…

Never again…
