The Mirror
Dream Evil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on my way to loose control
You blind me with your beauty
The reflections makes me high
Will my spirit for ever die
If i break the reflected eye
This magic that you show me
make me look forever young
immortalized on the outside
but rotten deep inside
Mirror, mirror.... Look at me
Mirror, mirror
Who is that man, that staring back at me
Precious, precious save my soul
My skin looks hot though my heart is cold
I want to live my life in silence
I want to live my life in peace
Who is that man, that looks back at me
Mirror, mirror... Look at me
Mirror, mirror... Set me free
Mirror, mirror... Look at me
Mirror, mirror...
Tell me who's that man, that staring back at me
Dream Evil's "The Mirror" is a song that delves into the idea of vanity and the dangers of falling prey to one's own reflection. The lyrics address a mirror directly, calling it a "beauty" that blinds the singer and makes them feel high. The singer worries that their spirit may die if they break the reflection in the mirror, emphasizing the hold that vanity has over them. The magic of the mirror makes the singer feel forever young and immortalized on the outside, but rotten deep inside.
The refrain of "mirror, mirror" asks the mirror to look at the singer and tell them who the man is that stares back at them. The singer wants to be saved, but acknowledges that their heart is cold despite their hot appearance. They long to live their life in silence and peace, away from the vanity that has consumed them. In the end, the singer pleads with the mirror to set them free from the reflection that they can no longer bear to see.
The overall message in "The Mirror" is a warning against the dangers of vanity and the importance of seeing oneself for who they truly are rather than getting caught up in appearances. It urges listeners to look beyond their own reflections and seek to live their lives authentically.
