Oculus

Oculus by Bestla is the Bitch and KRGKGM explores themes of self-reflection, temptation, and the allure of the unknown. The lyrics depict the narrator encountering a mysterious mirror, which acts as a metaphor for their own inner desires and curiosity.
The "mirror hanging there" symbolizes the reflection of oneself. The "face of silver" and "frame of black" create a contrasting imagery, representing the duality of the mirror's power and potentially dangerous nature. The "Oculus of glass" refers to the eye-like appearance of the mirror, drawing attention to its ability to see into the depths of the narrator's soul.
As the narrator stares into the mirror, they can "feel [it] staring back," implying a connection between their own desires and the possibility of fulfilling them within the mirror's realm. The lines "I hear your voice, believe your lies" suggest that the mirror is alluring and manipulative, tempting the narrator with promises that may not be truthful.
The mirror is portrayed as a "window, portal, darkened door," representing a gateway to an unknown world or experience. By gazing at the mirror, the narrator risks becoming consumed by its power. The phrase "should you claim my staring eyes, my soul you'll hold forevermore" suggests that once the narrator succumbs to the mirror's seduction, they will be forever trapped within its grasp.
Overall, Oculus delves into the human fascination with the unknown and the potential dangers of being enticed by one's own desires. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of surrendering to temptation and losing oneself to the allure of the unfamiliar.
