Vocals

These vocals are all over the place, and because of that, I am sure there are fans saying not everyone can do this, this is talented. Sorry, for me, this is cringe! The pop-sounding vocal, the drawn out high crap...

Music

The music all but disappears to me during the poppy vocal. Then the breakdowns are just a different level. Just feels like I am dangling over a cliff, and never jumping (2:33). Painful!

Lyrics

Based on a search, it seems the title of this song is tied to a reflection in Japanese. I guess maybe because it is reflecting thoughts of how we are. As it says, unattached, fabricated, held almost like a prisoner, wanting to be like someone else.

Incarcerated between these worlds
Reality seems to loose its hold
We hide away and try to fill the space between these thoughts
Detached from everything that lives and breathes
Emotions just words on a screen 
So fabricated is the life we lead  
So fabricated is the life we lead

Side by side
You’ll watch the whole world pass you by
An affliction, this addiction 
Side by Side 
Out of sight, you’re out of mind
So obsessed with imitation
