The song reminds us that, when we experience loss, we also feel lost, as if we’ve lost a little bit of ourselves.

“When the daylight comes,
I can’t see the sun
I can only feel the rain.
Is my heart at war
Well I don’t know for sure…

I have lost the reigns
All my horses are insane
A blind man rolls my dice…”

Yet, Hall’s lyrics also show us that we can find a way out of this place of loneliness and confusion by simply remembering that we were once full of wonder and saw meaning in the world:

“Do you remember when the oceans sang in hymns?
Do you remember when the stars used to play?
Do you remember when we used to share our food?
Well, I do every second of the day.”

If you ever need a reminder that your thoughts create your reality, take a moment to enjoy “Mirror of the Sky,” and soak up its message — that even in your darkest and most isolated moments, just remembering a brighter day can oftentimes make it so.
