Discover the story of the song > Life As A Criminal – Versus the Mirror

The protagonist is reflecting on their own life, describing themselves as a poor storyteller and a poverty-stricken fortune teller. They mention that someone can help them straighten out their life, or they can just talk all night instead. They then question whether Jesus, if he was born in a different time, would have faced different challenges and struggles, specifically mentioning a noose of thorns. They also question the origin of violence, pondering on which day God created such awful and awkward violence that they see.
