Espejito, espejito mágico...

[Giovanni Ribisi le da el punto dramático y absurdo que precisa]

Keane no es un grupo que me apasione, pero tiene sus canciones (son temas-mantra, si las canto a voz en grito siempre descargo cualquier emoción que me esté abrumando en ese momento). Pero además este vídeo es muy bueno, una especie de homenaje a las historias del Doppelgänger de Dostoyevsky en un entorno tan hostil como pueden ser las zonas residenciales norteamericanas. Es difícil verlo y no recordar a Annette Benning repitiéndose "I will sell this house today" en American Beauty.

Who is the man I see?
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
under the iron sea.
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Lines ever more unclear,
I'm not sure I'm even here,
The more I look the more I think that I'm
starting to disappear.
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.
I don't know where I am,
and I don't really care,
I look myself in the eye,
there's no one there.
I fall upon the earth,
I call upon the air,
but all I get is the same old vacant stare.
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball,
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful,
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song,
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong,
So put me where I belong.

[Keane, Crystal Ball]
