The song is about two people; two circumstances; one perspective. One shows no signs of insight because he acts on what he believes is expected. Hence, no reflection. The other is more literal; she stares into her own reflection, but fails to see any value. Both are affected by their outside world, and it leaves them in an unhealthy state. In chorus, they’re trying to make some kind of promise to themselves: “Quite soon… so far away from you.”more
