Mirror Out Of Time
Casus Belli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passing day of my life
Seems like it doesn't exist
I'm wasting my time
Waking memories of a life
With which I've never agreed
But how can I change everything
Someday'll come to an end
And how can I stop all
This marching of time
Which is killing and making new lives
Facing the power of yesterday
I feel like I'm old, weak and tired
The only escape is another life
Without time or any desire
I know where to find it,
I know where to search
To make my life again
In a place where myself
Will be a two-faced man
The one real and the other a lie
Visions are calling me
To hide my destiny
And save my power for life
Escaping from my misery
By facing the reality
Just like a mirror out of time
Memories of suffered life:
Break the mirror
Visions are calling me to hide
Crash the mirror
The song "Mirror Out Of Time" by Casus Belli deals with the concept of time, memories and the power of the past. The opening lines, "Marching through time every passing day of my life, seems like it doesn't exist, I'm wasting my time," set the tone for the song. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea that time is passing them by and they are not living their life to the fullest. They are waking up to memories of a life they have never agreed with, hinting at a dissatisfaction with their current existence.
The singer then questions how they can change their current situation and prevent time from marching on. They are aware that their life will eventually come to an end, but they still feel powerless to stop the march of time, which is both killing and making new lives simultaneously. The power of the past weighs heavily on them, making them feel old, weak and tired. The only escape they see is a life without time or desire.
The singer believes that they know where to find a new version of themselves. They envision a two-faced man: one who is real, and the other, a lie. They feel called to hide their destiny and save their power for life by escaping from their misery. The last lines of the song, "Visions are calling me to hide, crash the mirror," suggest that the singer is ready to break free from the memories of their suffered life and create a new reality for themselves.

Marching through time every
Every day I move forward through time
Passing day of my life
Each day of my existence
Seems like it doesn't exist
Feels like my life has no real meaning
I'm wasting my time
I feel like I'm not using my time in a meaningful way
Waking memories of a life
Recalling memories of a past existence
With which I've never agreed
That I didn't choose and don't identify with
But how can I change everything
How can I alter the course of my life?
And forget that my life
To ignore the knowledge that my life will eventually end
Someday'll come to an end
I will one day die
And how can I stop all
How can I prevent the passage of time?
This marching of time
The relentless progress of time
Which is killing and making new lives
That brings both death and new life into the world
Facing the power of yesterday
Confronting the influence of my past experiences
I feel like I'm old, weak and tired
I feel drained and exhausted by life
The only escape is another life
The only way out is to start anew
Without time or any desire
Free from both time and ambition
I know where to find it,
I have a sense of where I can seek this new beginning
I know where to search
I am aware of the location where I can begin anew
To make my life again
To start over and create a new existence
In a place where myself
In a location where I can be
Will be a two-faced man
I will exist as multiple identities
The one real and the other a lie
One identity genuine and the other deceitful
Visions are calling me
I am being drawn towards
To hide my destiny
To secrete myself away from my fate
And save my power for life
To conserve my strength for this new existence
Escaping from my misery
To flee from my current suffering
By facing the reality
By acknowledging the truth of my situation
Just like a mirror out of time
Like a reflection disconnected from any specific moment in time
Memories of suffered life:
Recollections of my past filled with hardship
Break the mirror
Destroy the image of my past that I see in the reflection
Visions are calling me to hide
I am being beckoned to conceal myself
Crash the mirror
Shatter the reflection of my past

I have the album in the name of the rose, the album in general is good but the tracks from 8 to 11 are stronger and better than the others, the vocals and the guitars are the highlight of the album, the song mirror out of time is a good example to the music style of the band, good vocals and guitar playing, solid bass and drums and nice keyboards in the background of the song, I mean the keyboards don't take control over the song, thanks and much luck in the future
