Analysis of In another life



*IN ANOTHER LIFE*
Confused, lost, broken
In a room with all the things I've lost I'd look for myself
Because in a mirror I see nothing, a ghost gone cold - Heartless
Loving was my favorite game. I say game because damn does your heart get played
Kind people don't win. The villain has always defined me
Has a good cause but never seen
Hidden or overshadowed by every little thing
It doesn't even make sense how no one looks for me
In a world full of people, you only have yourself
I don't think it's fair because to everyone I'm so much help.
Slowly forgetting who I am because in lost in a dystopia
Only that it's not so imaginary
I'll be heard one day but probably not in this life or the next
I will be seen important and ill strive. But not here or now but in another life.
