Edeltraud Trncik - The Woman In The Mirror Lyrics

Staring at the mirror, my reflection blurs
Sixteen candles flicker in memories that were
Prom dress in the closet, gathering dust
First kiss by the lockers, now just rust
Who's this stranger in my skin?
Where did all these chapters begin?
(Hey Siri, play my old playlist)
Kaleidoscope spinning, fragments of my life
Polaroids fading in the Instagram hype
Am I still that dreamer with stars in her eyes?
Or the cynic time's disguised?
Caught between then and now
I'm riding the undertow, somehow
Facebook tells me it's someone's birthday
A name I once knew, now just pixels away
I hover over "Call", but what would I say?
To bridges burned on graduation day
Who are we beyond our curated feed?
When algorithms dictate what we need
(Hey Alexa, what's my purpose today?)
Kaleidoscope spinning, fragments of my life
Polaroids fading in the Instagram hype
Am I still that dreamer with stars in her eyes?
Or the cynic time's disguised?
Caught between then and now
I'm riding the undertow, somehow
Facebook tells me it's someone's birthday
A name I once knew, now just pixels away
I hover over "Call", but what would I say?
To bridges burned on graduation day
Who are we beyond our curated feed?
When algorithms dictate what we need
(Hey Alexa, what's my purpose today?)
Kaleidoscope spinning, fragments of my life
Polaroids fading in the Instagram hype
Am I still that dreamer with stars in her eyes?
Or the cynic time's disguised?
Caught between then and now
I'm riding the undertow, somehow
In the space between heartbeats, I find
A moment of clarity, redefined
Not girl, not woman, but both intertwined
A tapestry of experiences, uniquely designed
Gray hairs peek through, I used to pluck them out
Now they're silver linings to stories I shout
Laugh lines map journeys I'm proud to have taken
Each scar a lesson, each freckle awakened
What defines me beyond these reflections?
When each swipe brings new connections
(Hey Google, show me who I am)
Years cascade like data, moments turned to memes
But in this digital flow, I'm more than I seem
Present in my body, my mind, my changing face
Finding beauty in every transformative trace
(Hey Google, show me who I am)
Years cascade like data, moments turned to memes
But in this digital flow, I'm more than I seem
Present in my body, my mind, my changing face
Finding beauty in every transformative trace
Kaleidoscope spinning, I'm learning to embrace
Every version of me, in this time and space
I'm the dreamer, the cynic, the in-between
Every role I've played, every screen I've seen
Bridging the gap of virtual and real
I'm writing my story, that's the deal
In this dance of pixels and time
I'm coding my own paradigm
The child I was, the sage I'll be
All part of the woman that's me
Let's go viral with our complexity
