Mirages

Damn, I'm super fat
Girl, what's wrong with your physique?
If you had never worried about it
Damn, look at me! Well, never mind, you don't understand
But what are you doing?

Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me if your eye deceives you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
Look at your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after a year
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me if your eye deceives you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
Look at your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after a year

Fat! I know it hurts you
But the solution is not to lock yourself in the bathroom
I know what you think when you look at your reflection
But your enemy is people, not the mirror
That complex is the object of ridicule
Sticking your fingers in your throat doesn't help
If others hurt you, why do you hurt yourself too?
It's giving in to the dumbest in the class
They are mirages outside of realism
Fight to love yourself or you will fall into the abyss
You are the laughingstock when you go out partying
People watch you on the street and it bothers you
You feel ashamed and get upset trying on dresses

Fed up! Of having to ask for another size
You don't expose your body at the beach because it depresses you
You give up when you see those movie star bodies
You want to lose weight at any cost
You hear the retching through the gap in the door if they're silent
Your mother worries and you don't care
You feel your patience for losing weight is declining
You can't stop vomiting, you feel pretty
You see the bodies you want in magazines and they captivate you
But it's not you, it's just what you want to be
So that others show a little more interest in you

But society is like that, it's sad
Don't trust your reflection or what you wear
Insecure, I see it in your eyes
Wanting everything, everything, without having to do anything, you look for an easy way
Inside that body hides a fragile heart
I know it's easy to say for those who don't suffer it and don't feel it
But the eye creates a mirage that lies to you

Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me if your eye deceives you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
Look at your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after a year
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me if your eye deceives you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
Look at your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after a year

I don't know, I think you shouldn't, there are other ways
Shut the fuck up, okay? You're not in my shoes
Touching your uvula is more attractive to you
Much simpler and faster than deciding
Whether to diet or exercise, because that's hard
And you also don't dare to bet if it's not foolproof
You just want a nice body
To be seen with different eyes and recognized for your type
But beauty is on the inside
Although it doesn't satisfy you to be told that as a person you are better
You value yourself little and your self-esteem is rock bottom
Fashion is the bait and you're the fish that bites the hook
Image isn't everything for everyone
There are other methods to lose weight, there are other ways
You have a nickname that isn't mentioned when you're present
You pretend not to care about what they say
But you want to prove something you shouldn't
But I understand your helplessness just being a kid
Guys reject you because you're not pretty
The days of crying are recorded in your diary
In a way closer than any of us could understand
Seeing tears fall
You want to satisfy yourself, eat, and return the calories
You obsess over your physique and weigh yourself every day

Every hour, you notice, feel little progress
Your friend cries because she can't believe your situation
You don't plan to stop until you're finally happy
And your weight must be around fifty
Low self-esteem and you don't feel confident
Zero personality and that's depressing
It's not necessary to stand out aesthetically
It has always been completely dependent
On the thoughts others have about her
Her mind is weak, she just wants to be beautiful

Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me if your eye deceives you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
Look at your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after a year
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me if your eye deceives you
It's just a mirage that will hurt you
Look at your reflection in the water when you bathe
Look at your weight on the scale after a year

Every passing day you look thinner
And you still see yourself the same even though you're more haggard
Your friend advised you and you didn't want to listen
You ask for little food and leave more than half
You weigh forty kilos and still see yourself as fat
But it's not the mirror, it's your mind that distorts you
That shapes that false image you see
Mirages are what your mind wants to believe
Who decides and gives meaning to perfection?
If being superficial, for me, is just another flaw of the imperfect human being
The machine that will destroy this world with its own hands
