about

Mirror Girl is a song about healing. It’s about what you see when you look at yourself in a slab of reflective glass. I used to see someone who was sub-par – someone who wasn’t awesome or talented or beautiful. But I had the privilege of making a discovery – making a 180 degree turn. Now I know the truth, and I want every other girl in the world to know the same thing. I want them to know how brilliant they really are. How mind-blowing they really are.

lyrics

(verse one)
Hey there, mirror girl
We haven’t had a talk since last night
You don’t think I’m ready
For the world and its smoke and lights

Hey there, mirror girl
You say that I’m not so great yet
But maybe someday
I could be the second-best

(pre-chorus)
And you
You look me in the eyes
You say right to my face,
“Who are you to be so talented, bright-eyed, beautiful?”

(verse two)
Hey there, mirror girl
The world must look so dark from your view
Trapped in all that glass
Where makeup can’t be seen without you

Hey there, mirror girl
You say I look like trash regardless
Of what I say or what I wear
Or how I do my miserable hair

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
And I say,
“Who are you not to be
Unbelievable, drop-dead beautiful?
Why is it so hard to see
Who you really are
Supernova star?

You are blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind
Yeah
You are blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind up

(verse three)
Hey there, mirror girl
Tell me what you’re so afraid of
Is it that I’m inadequate
Or is it that I’m superhuman?
Hey there, mirror girl
You look like you’re scared of something
My heart tells me I’m meant to shine
But my head tells me to run and hide now

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
(bridge)
Your skin is made of stardust
Your eyes are like the cosmos
There’s constellations in the freckles on your face

Your hair is like a halo
You angel girl, you’re made of shrapnel
A star blew up, and now you’re in outer space

(refrain)
You are blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind
Yeah
(x3)
You are blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind
You’re blowing my mind up

“There’s only one thing that can make me feel alive, make me want to scream, make me cry, make me laugh, and give me chills like nothing else. That one thing is music,” Abbiee says. “And I think it’s the most beautiful form of power I’ve ever experienced.”

Abbiee is currently working on recording her first LP album and hopes to release it by fall 2016.
