blinded by faith – stranger in the mirror lyrics

i grew up amid the cries
in a house with a rusted tin roof
i have no story to tell, just a name
a quickly forgotten name
from my childhood
there is not much to say
except that i feel happy today
to have lost most of it
my past seems hazy
bad dreams i can’t relate to reality
i seek the meaning of it all
to overcome absurdity

[chorus:]
i grew up among the insane
in a parallel dimension
where madness doesn’t exist
it took me many years to understand

i grew up with other children
in a playground where i played little
a prison i would gladly dynamited
a school where i learned disgust
i grew up day after day taming fear
a fear gripped to the belly
shaking the nerves like a rabid dog
the fear of not being loved
the fear of being lost inside a maze
the fear that the world collapses tomorrow
the fear of being left alone forever
with this stranger
i see every morning in the mirror

i grew up in the tumultuous nights
which sometimes ended
when two drunkards engaged in a fight
i saw all kinds of excesses
i saw people destroy themselves
because they were happy to be alive
i saw people crawling for a line of c-ke
and never stand up again
i saw men f-ck it all up in one evening
i saw young age too quickly
because they have seen too much

[chorus]

i grew up within my room
four walls without windows
with a black and white tv
i watched horror movies
and had no serious project
apart from becoming a serial killer
or the next messiah
but i wanted not so much
and at night, under the covers
in the dark, sheltered world
i imagined that i was not me
i wanted to be anybody
except me
