There are two perspectives:

My reflection is staring at me from the other side of the mirror. I apply my new lipstick.
Outside there are people falling down, because their wallets are too heavy for them.
One day, i’m gonna live somewhere better than where i am now. Maybe in a villa or something.

My reflection is staring at me from the other side of the mirror. I wonder if my family will see me like this ever again.
Outside there are people falling down, because they didn’t eat in the last two months or got shot.
One day, maybe, i’m gonna live somewhere better than where i am now. I’ll be home.

We live in a world where suffering is relative. People will always instruct you on how to live your life. Never allow them to rule your life, keep going against the stream, and don’t let distractions discourage you from doing so.

JOPLYN - AGAINST THE STREAM - LYRICS:

chorus:
people starving hard on love
and we ain’t getting younger
burying their own souls
we are all shotgunners

running fast on broken trails
and our last hope it ails
trying to live in undreamed dreams
going against the stream

verse 1:
problems others dream of
leaving sane to linger
fates are put on slingers
only for you and me to watch

verse 2:
souls full of sad happiness
fake love full of vastness
life sweet like a center shock
out of breath but we didn’t walk

bridge:
we’re drying the madness
with water maddest
cruel kindness leading slow
but it won’t go

i’m waiting until
the fire freezes
slaves to our emotion
only wishing to feel devotion
