Monuments - Mirror Image Lyrics
The stories that we live
Begin to take their toll
Another day, another debt to pay
Even though there's a stage, there's a stage
That's just made for you
Nothing really matters!
What is the truth?
Where is the promised land?
If I make a mistake
Then you can chase me down
With such irreverence
Wide awake we try to make the stars align
But they promise only dreams
When you wake up green
And you're going nowhere
I can't define this space
What is this face the moment's gone
Every day's a catastrophe
When you wake up green
And you're going nowhere
I can't defend, I can't evolve
We're going all the way down
All around
There's a world that would like to know
They got a right know
I push you back with my fist
Just to let it hit the ground
I see you
I feel you
I need you back
Do you remember when the world was just a fact
Don't make no mistake while it sends you back
Every day you find a way to keep it all on track
Don't get no relief while the mirror bends your image
If it was there
Now it's dead to me
The whole thing starts to crack
A fucking tragedy
No more that I can say
I need you back...
Hey there is no way
I would want to go alone again
I wouldn't take you there...
And you knew
Cause it's true
I wouldn't take you there again
And if I could turn back time
I wouldn't hesitate
To take it all back
Do you remember when the world was just a fact
Don't make no mistake while it sends you back
Every day you find a way to keep it all on track
Don't get no relief while the mirror bends your image
Do you remember when the world was just a fact
Don't make no mistake while it sends you back
Every day you find a way to keep it all on track
Don't get no relief while the mirror bends your image
While the mirror bends your image
While the mirror bends your image

Monuments Mirror Image Comments
i listened to the riff at 1:48 about 10 hours ago and my erection hasnt gone away, what do i do?
This is the best song of the album.
I just found out there was a new monuments album yesterday and today final fantasy 8 remastered came out and for some odd reason this song reminds me of squalls emotional journey and I absolutely love! Twas meant to be
I like this anime opening a lot!
Omg YouTube comments are worse the yelp reviews... You all saw that south park episode on yelp.... Yet here you all are xD
That part at 1:47 tho
like this sound
Goddamn who the hell mixed this?? turn down that kick bro, it eats everything.
1:48 Listen This!!!
so epic song
Love this song freaking Awesome!! Hearing it over ,and over , and over....
Is there an instrumental version of this album...? Really would love to hear it without his voice
0:00-4:57 Best Moment 🔥#billyjean
I love the amanuensis album but the more I listen to this it grows on me I really like the difference it's a nice contrast
Am I the only who absolutely loves this masterpiece? May others seem to not be a fan of this beauty.
Finally some good 2018 music! Keep it up!
Vanta was the best song until I heard this one
One of my favorite songs about the FLAT EARTH ! :)
I love your style so much.
I swear these lyrics were written using mad libs.
You may very well be right
the mj vibes strong on this one. beautiful.
creeps power 2
Such a huge step up from their previous releases :)
I’m too drunk today and I am having a hangover and I tried to listen to Monuments... I went gone from the world afterwards
Let's go 1:48
Why is Monuments so awesome??? Why???
These riffs are so tasteful
Please stop complaining and enjoy music!
Fucking nerds.
The shitty intro does the rest of the song injustice
They went AWOL on this one. Vocals are shiiiite.
a emo band .. rock with backstreet boys?
Chi Moreno plus Michael Jackson plus Masato from coldrain plus more awesome guitar riffs = Monuments
Favorite track off the album!
If you guys dig Monuments, give our newest song “Dishonest Memory” a listen. Progressive metal from Arizona! 🙏🏻

THIS IS THE DAY THIS IS THE DAY WE ALL DIE
Michel Djentson!! I really like this "Michael Jackson" kind of vibe in this song :)) Even though it is weird at the same time. Monuments baby. Fuck yeah.
To me the lyrics are about how he used to put it in the butt but she didn't like it and he didn't care but now he does so he's on a journey to apologize, peace out
When did metal become so pathetic?
Breaking Benjamin meets Michael Jackson meets Djent meets Dafuq pls???
Chris Baretto>Spencer Stello
I really dig this album for what it is. If you keep comparing this to MII you're gonna have a bad time. The songs that really stuck to me are this one, Celeste, Jukai, & Stygian Blue. I do agree about most people's complaints with the vocals/lyrics: not enough power and the lyrics seem kind of...juvenile. It sounds like Chris is using more of his head/falsetto voice on this record. I know I'm contradicting what I just said but if you compare, for example, Stygian Blue to Atlas you can hear the power lacking in his CLEAN singing. The screaming vox sound great to me. And I cannot say anything bad about the songwriting. I can appreciate the integration of the "poppy" sounding riffs, but you can't deny this shit still has that bounce that made us love Monuments in the first place. My opinion ultimately doesn't matter because as long as the boys in M are happy with it that's what matters; just thought I'd give my two cents on it. I've been playing this every day since it dropped and I dig the fuck out of it. Keep on bouncin' my dudes.
But does it wah?
I came here after watching their live at wacken 2016 and this sounds too much like metalcore to me, did they sold out or what?
Great track, great album!
Vamos tesouro, não se misture com essa Djentalha!!!
love everything but the vox are a bit much lmao
#billiejean
I really wasn't very impressed when I first heard this song, but now that I've listened to the album a lot more, it's become one of my favorites on Phronesis. Sometimes simpler is better
Michael Jackson going Djent
heckk!! *i need you baa🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ckk*
I can hear some Scar Symmetry, solution .45 influence all over this
this is record is definitely not on par with any of their previous stuff
So good fuck
eww... why is this categorised as progressive?!
'cause it is lol. It's not the artistic floaty abstract stuff, but I'd still be comfortable putting it under that umbrella.
My vision of the music video for this:
A cheesy performance in a smokey bar, all suited up, cheeky winks to the audience (all from Olly).
Something like it's out of the 50s/60s
LEGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Jackson is alive!
What is this slice of ear heaven??
Got to see them play last night, was epic!
Yikes people are shitting on Joel's mix. Can't please everybody I guess.
Vocals: MICHAEL DJENTSON
Guitars: right hand & vulgar mouth
Bass: Dreadlocks
Drums: regular dude
What a lineup man!
Olly is the vulgar mouth? lol
Metal Jackson
These new tracks are growing on me. Especially this one.
Chris' vocals are always so good and so tight but the lyrics and lyric flow has always messed with me. Don't get me wrong I love Monuments but sometimes those odd lyric flows interrupt the grooves for me.
hard linkin park?
That neck pickup sound at 2:40. Sooo rare in metal!
jesus monuments still at it lmao
The lyrics to this song ties loosely to DC 52 Flashpoint. :P
That chorus!! Dam!!
The guitars are so badly drowned out in this mix! The song itself is great but the drums and vocals are totally overpowering the mix :(
Is it me or does it sound like Michael Jackson is tearing it up. This is awesome
A lot of complaining in the comments, I suppose that's metal communities for you; too much of the same, people complain, change something, people complain. I'm just happy to hear more music really.
It awesome and motivating
Loving it.
I can relate to people who are starving for amanuensis stuff, but come on, it seems u people don't know how to appreciate something new. Like, amanuensis was phenomenal, i love that album with all my heart, but these new singles aren't bad or something, they're just different, and imho sound damn great, they're catchy, groovy, melodical, Chris's vocals kick ass as always, A.W.O.L had problems with guitar leveling, but Leviathan and this one have been improved. What else you people need? Learn to leave the past behind and enjoy the new.
PS: hyped af for the whole album to come out.
Great song and vocals are even better this time, really solid stuff! Diggin it, much love from germany !::!;
I love you alll😍
The more I listen to the, the more i like it. You have to get used to the vocals on this one, but the riffs are so good. How can you dislike 1:48? So stoked to hear the full album!
Not gonna lie, these new tracks needed some getting used to, but they've really grown on me. Very well written and extremly catchy!
just good vibes right here...very good
Pls slightly louder guitars in the mix
Like it, but as a drummer, even I think they are too loud in the mix. The kick drum takes over all the low end tone so I have no idea what the bass is doing.
Might take a bit of getting used to this one
Good song but I am looking forward to a version where the bass is unmuted.
waiting for DJohn Browne's playthrough!
1:47 made me poop browne steele
Its gooooood
All the djent bands are trying to grow as artists by writing pop. Uggg
People here seem to have lost the capacity of simply enjoying music. The huge amount of auto declared professional criticizers was probably the main reason why I stopped listening to metal through the years, but Monuments still bringing me back. There's some kind of wonderfulness about their sound that calls me even though years have passed. It makes me feel calm.
Keep up the good work, guys!
So far, I don't really enjoy the lyrical content on the songs that have come out. The musicianship is fucking crushing, as always. Chris' singing has definitely come a long way but it feels like the lyrics were almost phoned in.
damn, i never thought i would get bored listening to monuments. 2 new songs in a row and absolutely nothing sticks out in either track. Its not horrible...i just expected so much more from these guys after amanuensis
Chris barreto was a bad mistake
You do a better job then dude with your awesome band.
If _The Amanuensis_ is like _Altered State_ (my favorite albums, both sophomore releases), then _Phronesis_ is like _Polaris_ — a venture forward, but in different territory than what came before. It’s unusual, but it tells its own story, and because of that, I love it anyway 😄
Not sure about this song.
The need to turn up the guitars in the mix a bit, his vocals are too loud and guitars are a bit too quiet
These have been their SINGLES they've released so far. Singles are ALWAYS the most catchy. So let us hope these are the catchy tracks, and the others will be more deep.
Because this pop shit is going to make the timeless-factor of the album WEAK. HOWEVER,,, as far as pop-djent goes, they're DOMINATING that shit.
This song saved my life.
Happy to be angry...at this tune.
More boring with every album. It's seriously like John is trolling us.
