Mirrors
Days Away Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If God has his plans for me
Then I will
Find out how to die and avoid it
As far as I can see
The whole world is sleeping
But not me
I am lying here in a million pieces
I can't make it
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I'm waiting for the right time
The right time to find my way out
What joy the night can bring
Riding the ghost until the morning sings
Where a bad situation means…
With a perfect, dreamless sleep…
Or a dream of dreaming
For me, to never see
So I'm feeling lucky
I can't make it
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I'm waiting for the right time
The right time to find my way out
Last chance to run away with me
Become a ghost
I don't know what to say and think
You have to trust me
Imagine all the things you'll see
I can't make it
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I'm waiting for the right time
The right time to find my way out
The lyrics to Days Away's song "Mirrors" are complex and evoke a wide range of emotions. At the heart of the song is a feeling of hopelessness and despair. The singer seems to be questioning the inevitability of death and their own place in the world. The phrase "If God has his plans for me" suggests a resistance to the idea of predetermined fate. The singer comments on the sleepers around them, implying that they are alone in their thoughts.
The lines "I'm waiting for the sun to come out / I'm waiting for the right time / The right time to find my way out" convey a sense of desperation and a longing for a way out of their current situation. The repetition of this line suggests that the singer feels trapped and uncertain of how to take action. The chorus, "I can't make it...", reinforces this idea and emphasizes the singer's struggle.
The second verse introduces the idea of finding joy in the night but also acknowledges the memory of bad situations that can haunt one's dreams. The line "For me, to never see / So I'm feeling lucky" suggests that the singer is grateful to have avoided a fate worse than death. However, the song does not offer a clear resolution or conclusion, leaving the listener with a sense of unease and uncertainty.

If this is what life brings
If this is my reality
If God has his plans for me
If everything happens for a reason
Then I will
I will face it head on
Find out how to die and avoid it
Avoid anything that could be fatal
As far as I can see
My perspective on the world
The whole world is sleeping
Everyone else is unaware
But not me
But I am awake
I am lying here in a million pieces
I am lost and broken
What joy the night can bring
The pleasures of the night
Riding the ghost until the morning sings
Living life to the fullest
Where a bad situation means…
Even if things go wrong
With a perfect, dreamless sleep…
A restful and peaceful sleep
Or a dream of dreaming
Having ambitions and goals
For me, to never see
For some people it may never happen
So I'm feeling lucky
Grateful for what I have
Last chance to run away with me
Opportunity to escape reality
Become a ghost
Disappearing from sight
I don't know what to say and think
Uncertainty and confusion
You have to trust me
Belief in each other
Imagine all the things you'll see
The possibilities for adventure and discovery
I can't make it
I am struggling
I'm waiting for the sun to come out
I am hoping for better days
I'm waiting for the right time
I am waiting for the perfect moment
The right time to find my way out
The moment to overcome my struggles
