The camera captures your face at a slow shutter.
Mascara runs down your lashes, the mirror is smeared.
Don’t dwell on reflections, let the glass shatter.
Let the glass shatter, dear!

Let the past shatter! Rip off the shackles.
Ignore small talk and meaningless chatter.
Learn to observe people from every angle,
If they seem shallow, -- let them all shatter!

Don’t you dare rest your head on a cold shoulder!
The wall may be harder, but choose the latter.
Let your body shudder if the wall is colder,
If the body's colder, -- let the wall shudder!
