about

Part of the concept came from a Borges poem, and he talked a lot about mirrors and reflections and the false reality of it. What I take it to mean in this context is that the image we have of ourselves as people is merely an illusion, and in fact, we are simply a reflection of our own past as well as those who came before us. But then if that’s the case, your own soul will be reflected in future generations, and therefore it is your own uncertain hand, reaching out towards immortality.

lyrics

The image in the mirror
Is not your own
It belongs to the past

And all of your ancestors
They are staring back at you
Through eyes that are theirs
Just as much as they are yours

Your soul
An uncertain hand
Reaching out
Towards immortality

An uncertain hand
Reaching out
