"Broken Mirrors" by Zara Alexandra
“Broken Mirrors” is the third single from La Honda Records for Zara Alexandra, ahead of her album on April 11.
“This is a song about quiet rural struggles and trying to break old cycles of abuse.” – Zara
The first single off Zara Alexandra’s first album with La Honda Records is a powerful and poignant look at a family hiding behind a facade of normalcy. The lyrics paint a picture of a troubled home life, centered around the powerful symbol of "broken mirrors," representing a fractured family dynamic and distorted reality. The song contrasts the outward appearance of normalcy, exemplified by the ‘steadfast and strong smile’ and the idyllic image of a ‘white fence’ and ‘tall flowers,’ with the underlying pain and secrets revealed by "downcast eyes" and the isolated feeling of being ‘in the middle of nowhere.’ The bouncy melody contrasts with the dark lyrics, underlining the dichotomy between the family’s facade and reality.
