My Looking Glass Self has compared the person in song and possibly the singer themselves to myself to gain perspective of who I was at each time.

The Spanish missionary Fray Diego Durán authored his book History of the Indies of New Spain in order to explain some of the events that helped to establish the Aztec empire along with some of the trials and tribulations that both stunted and aided the growth of the Aztec Empire.
