Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany
For songwriters who dont sing or perform it is extremely hard to make ones mark in the music business because they dont have a platform to present and promote their work. This is more or less the situation that I, Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany, have been confronted with since I started writing songs in 1978. My idea is to complement my songwriting capabilities with the "helping hands" of excellent artists, musicians and innovative producers. In the age of the internet it has become easier to communicate and collaborate with musicians and producers all over the world. I am utilizing the internet and pursuing the idea of a conceptual studio band with a frequently changing lineup of artists. I call this project the "Rob B. Project" since I supply the melodies and/or lyrics of a song and other musicians/producers/songwriters contribute their talents and skills to make it come to life.

Story behind the song
“Mirror on the Wall" is about people who blame others for problems they themselves are causing. It tells the story of someone who constantly points fingers, calls out faults, and spins lies, all while refusing to face their own responsibility. The “mirror" on the wall is a metaphor for self-reflection: eventually, no matter how much they deflect or manipulate, they have to confront the truth about their own actions. In short, it’s a universal story about personal accountability and the way some people hide behind blame, with the mirror as the inevitable reckoning.
Lyrics
Mirror on the Wall [Instrumental Intro] [Verse] You point at everybody like they’re doing something wrong But you’re the one who lights the fuse and swears you don’t belong You call out all the trouble like it’s falling from the sky But every time you shout it, it’s you who makes it fly [Pre-chorus] Take a look, take a look - that picture’s clear as day But you keep turning from the truth that’s staring your way [Chorus] Cause you cry out “Fire!" when the flames are in your hands Say it’s someone else who keeps messing up your plans You twist it all around till the truth begins to fall But you’ll see it all When you face the mirror on the wall [Break] [Verse] You talk about the broken world that’s falling off its track But you’re the one who knocked it down and won’t admit the crack You paint a lot of villains in the stories that you tell Every lie you spin is just a room you know too well [Pre-chorus] Take a look, take a look - that picture’s clear as day But you keep turning from the truth that’s staring your way [Chorus] Cause you cry out “Fire!" when the flames are in your hands Say it’s someone else who keeps messing up your plans You twist it all around till the truth begins to fall But you’ll see it all When you face the mirror on the wall [Bridge] All the blame you’re throwing’s just a cloud to hide behind But the storm you keep on fighting lives inside your mind You can run from every echo, but you can’t escape it all The truth will find you at the mirror on the wall [Interlude] [Final chorus] Cause you cry out “Fire!" when the flames are in your hands Say it’s someone else who keeps messing up your plans You twist it all around till the truth begins to fall But you’ll see it all When you face the mirror on the wall [Outro] The mirror on the wall The mirror on the wall
