about

Narcissus was a handsome hunter who looked down on those who loved him, and as such was cursed to fall in love with his own reflection.

lyrics

There have been others before
There have been lovers so sure
That I was meant for them and they were meant for me
But not one of them really caught my eye
Till I saw your reflection whilst I was passing by

Call me vain
Call me Narcissus
That’s my name

You remind me of someone I know
Realisation is starting to grow
No one was worthy until I saw me
But I have been dealt with this dreadful curse
This love affair is becoming perverse

I ache for my embrace
I know I must face
The truth that I will never be happy
What was the use of spurning love
For the gods up above
When they repay me this way?
