Song Description

In essence, "Transparancy" explores the complex dance between self-perception, shared trauma, and transformative healing. The metaphor of walking barefoot on broken glass represents our willingness to traverse painful terrain to understand ourselves and connect with others. The mirror imagery suggests how we see ourselves reflected in others, but also how these reflections can be distorted, fragmented, and yet still truthful in their own way. When the song speaks of "inverted stars" and a "mirror world," it's exploring how our inner landscape often feels like an alternate reality where familiar things appear strange and reversed. The chorus's image of "dancing through wreckage" speaks to finding beauty and purpose in our broken places. When it mentions "two reflections merging," it's suggesting how authentic connections often happen when we're vulnerable enough to share our damaged parts with another person who recognizes their own fractures in ours. The bridge's reference to stained glass is particularly powerful - suggesting that our breaks and damages, when held up to the light, can create something more beautiful than the original unbroken surface. It's about how our wounds, while painful, can become portals to deeper understanding and connection. At its heart, the song is about the paradox of finding wholeness through acknowledgment of our fragmentation, and how genuine human connection often occurs not despite our brokenness, but because of it.

[Verse 1]
Walking barefoot over broken glass
That reflects our falling stars
While somewhere in the mirror world
You're counting all our scars
(ooooo)
(oooohh)

[Chorus]
We're dancing through the wreckage
Of mirrors that we broke
Two reflections merging
In the spaces where they spoke
Each piece a different memory
Of the truth we tried to hide
In a gallery of moments
Where our souls collide

[Verse 2]
The shards contain a message
In a language lost to time
Like fragments of a story
That's yours as much as mine
(ooooo)
(oooohh)

[Chorus]
We're dancing through the wreckage
Of mirrors that we broke
Two reflections merging
In the spaces where they spoke
Each piece a different memory
Of the truth we tried to hide
In a gallery of moments
Where our souls collide

[Bridge]
Some breaks create new patterns
That were always meant to be
Like stained glass telling stories
Of the truths we couldn't see
Of the truths we couldn't see

[Chorus]
We're dancing through the wreckage
Of mirrors that we broke
Two reflections merging
In the spaces where they spoke
Each piece a different memory
Of the truth we tried to hide
