about

Dublin based alt-rock artist Tadgh Billy King is taking a more self-reflective and introspective turn in his new single “mirror.” Tadgh (pronounced tie-g), is favouring a darker, moodier sound, here after the punk fury of his previous release “sit and wait;” both singles from his record coming this autumn. Filled with chilling guitar ambience, goth-y, thick baritone vocals, and crushing walls of sound, it all leads up to a viscerally anthemic, gazy, wild, final chorus. It is at once ethereal and chaotic, brash and sweet. The swinging bass line alone will keep you coming back to listen.

lyrics

In the mirror
I look at you
Getting clearer
I look at you
And all the filler
All that makes up you
It's getting clearer
I see what you do

I see what you do
I see what you do

In my mirror
I look at you
See the centre
I forgot I grew
Am I better?
Or better at the lie?
In my mirror
Trying to pass the time

I've seen it
Seen it all before
Chew on peach pits
To break through the door
How did you get there?
I was here before
It's getting clearer
Clearer than before

I see what you do
I see what you do

In my mirror
I look at you
See the centre
I forgot I grew
Am I better?
Or better at the lie?
In my mirror
Trying to pass the time

I see what you do

Take it softly, take it slow
It's used to a level of control and
I don't ever want to feel
The way that I felt on that day, so
Take it softly, take it slow
It's used to a level of control and
I don't ever want to feel
The way that I felt on that day, so

In my mirror
I look at you
See the centre
I forgot I grew
Am I better?
Or better at the lie?
In my mirror
Trying to pass the time
In my mirror
Look at me in the eye
See the centre
Crawl into my mind
Am I better?
Or better at the lie?
In my mirror
Trying to pass the time
