Polished obsidian once functioned as more than a reflective surface. It could be treated as a passage into another realm, a tool for divination, or a way of confronting something beyond the visible world.\n\nThe song pulls from that history without retelling it directly. Images of silvering, refraction, blackened distance, ancient signals, modern ruin, and transmission create the sense of something moving across time and through a reflective surface without ever fully revealing what is on the other side.\n\nThe repeated phrase mirror of the primitives connects ancient technology with modern ideas of self perception, while roaring for escape suggests that the reflection itself may be trapped, displaced, or trying to cross over. Tomorrow starts tonight they say pushes that collapse of time even further, placing past, present, and future against the same surface.\n\nThe lyrics stay intentionally sparse and fragmentary. Rather than explain the metaphor, they leave enough empty space for the listener to decide whether the mirror represents history, identity, memory, transformation, or something trying to get through.","html":"","width":500,"height":480,"thumbnail_url":"https://audius-creator-16.theblueprint.xyz/content/baeaaaiqsea3lbmvinglq6krmmcxnfyra6jwrfplpcvo6ph33x4ad5bhm4zkbw/480x480.jpg","thumbnail_width":480,"thumbnail_height":480,"author_name":"r3plic4nt","author_url":"https://audius.co/shawnsporter","cache_age":3600}
