Snake5555555555 10/17/20 10:43:19 PM #212:	66. In the Mirror (Celeste song) (17 points) Nominated by: MetalmindStats (1/5 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXfHKEaDg4s Importance: 2 Fear: 5.5 Snake: 9.5 Of all the tracks in Celeste, none quite captures Madeline's anxiety & the physical & emotional damage of panic attacks more than In the Mirror. Right from the track's start, the synths flail out for rescue, buzzing endlessly in search of an escape hatch, and when none is found, ratting, erratic percussion steps in, as if to further increase the sense of frailty we feel in our emotions. Then, silence. From around 2:30 on, the track takes on a more serene quality, and can be interpreted in one of two ways. One, as a dulling of our senses, instead of letting our emotions out, we keep them locked away inside, our ignorance of them only planting the seeds for a total meltdown later on. Or, the much more comforting second option, as a breath, a calming meditation where the silence actually becomes a hallway for us to travel down, to seek out new information about ourselves and about our world, letting the light of our minds be our guide. Either way, there's something nagging at us, a small whisper at the back of our minds, the sum of our fears & anxieties quietly threatening to rip us apart at any moment. The wailing synth returns, but this time, there's the faint glimmer of a more hopeful tenderness to the backing melody, our motivation, no matter how small to keep up our drive and push on ahead no matter the cost. This is such a beautifully composed track, it's clear a lot of thought went into how this was structued and of course you can interpret how you want too! On just a musical level, I just love listening to it too, because once again even through its darker themes there's still something so peaceful about it, like I could just float away without a care in the world. As an aside, the whole Celeste soundtrack is amazing and full of wonderful songs like this. There's even one inspired by Resident Evil save room themes, Quiet and Falling, which I thought was awesome! --- And it's gonna be a long October, and I don't have reasons to believe, in much of anything, alright https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:945981251] in THE Snake ...
