BEHIND THE GLASS
First single from:
"Circus Maximus-The Modern Bloodshedding"
OUT OCTOBER 2019
“Behind the Glass”, the first single from Alice Sweet Alice’s upcoming concept album “Circus Maximus - The Modern Bloodshedding”, is a song about the mystique and mystery provided by the Internet. If we can be anyone we choose to be, what will we choose to show? What we will choose to hide?
What do you keep #behindtheglass?
LYRICS:
You see me moving
Hear the click of my heel
You’re infatuated
But honey I’m not real
CHORUS
Just a figment
Just a hope
Just a dreamer
Up in smoke
Rusted shine and silver frames
Perfect silhouettes facing front
You think in fantasy
Like I can give you what you want
You don’t know who I am
You only see what I show
This reflection here
Is the only thing you know
CHORUS
I am not your doll
Your object of desire
I am here for my own reasons
Not to fan your foolish fire
Before you is nothing but that
My perfect imitation
When you look behind the glass
It’s all in your imagination
CHORUS
Do you understand now?
This is what you wanted most
But if you reach out to touch me
You’ll go through me, I’m a ghost
