reflect your reflection
rivulets drizzle to

yet seek to join them
in despair
..it's something you can't just wish away.
apply your mask
a simple task to
conform a lie
your eyes never falter
a stultified halter to
see you through
..it's something you feel the need to take away.
and while Lachesis hold you
Charon murmurs:
"she's a lucky one"
lucky one
lucky one
etc.
i'd like to know what people think my lyrics mean. any comments?

Hi OceanAndSilence,
Hmm..this is somewhat tricky. I am not sure how many of the words are to be understood literally vs. metaphorically. What I imagine, when I read the lyrics, is a young woman who is unhappy about something that is in her fate (and thus Lachesis, one of the fates, holds her), such as perhaps her appearance or her awkward manner. She is looking at herself in the mirror applying make-up to change her appearance, to make herself look boisterous and cheeky (hoyden), although she isn't...she feels tense and troubled, like the rain outside (or potentially the tears on her cheeks). She knows distantly that she is lucky to be alive, thus the driver of the ferryboat to death (Charon) tells her so, but she doesn't feel lucky? Her eyes never faltering perhaps means that she can carry on with some facade and make it look real on the outside ("see her through").
This is my best guess.
