In Recent History Lyrics by Alecs Dyno

Making Mirrors

2023

[Intro]
I've felt derealization a lot in recent history
I feel like someone but is it somebody else
In my reflection reflecting on mentions of my self image
Realizing that I barely know myself (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
[Verse 1]
I distract myself with games and friends and weed
In recent history
I write new songs in spite of words to be (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
In recent history
But I don't wanna find it out again
And make it recent history
So I won't be the body I wanna be (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
And distract myself from how
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody learns
Everybody learns
To be afraid
[Verse 2]
I went to therapy burying the varying success I had before
Marrying the idea that with knowledge I can soar (a mirror starts out as clear)
Higher than I ever have with nor
Ideas of my parents or ideas that I'm bored
Means I'm dying in a crying fit (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
Lying that I'm fine and it's
Understate the current situation so I fly from it
I don't get it anymore than you do but it's fine (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
I tell my partner who I cried to for an hour
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody learns
Everybody learns
To be afraid
Everybody learns
To fake it til you make another you
You can't escape
[Chorus]
In recent history I'm here for nothing boring
Maybe I wanna just forget and get ignoring (so what?)
And maybe I could, maybe I couldn't (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
But I don't wanna find it out
In recent history I'm here for nothing boring
[Bridge]
I have someone to love
Someone that matters
Someone who cares
Someone who's there at my worst
I have someone to love
Someone that matters to me
Someone who sees right through me
(A mirror starts out as clear glass)
I'm the mirror
I'm the frame
I'm the wall on which it lay (A mirror starts out as clear glass)
Watch it closer
Watch it fall
(A mirror starts out as clear glass)
I'm the dirty
I'm the stains
I'm it all of which will break (A mirror starts out as clear glass)
Watch it closer
Watch it fall
[Chorus]
In recent history I'm here for nothing boring
Maybe I wanna just forget and get ignoring (so what?)
And maybe I could, maybe I couldn't (a mirror starts out as clear glass)
But I don't wanna find it out
In recent history I'm here for nothing boring
[Outro]
(A mirror starts out as clear glass)
I've felt derealization a lot
In recent history
(A mirror starts out as clear glass)
