In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.
Mika

Mika
