The Mirror
Emerald Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might not know, what I want, but I do know what I don't.
You, you can dig all you want, You'll never find my loving heart, No one can get the best of me
I am the enemy, I am the biggest coward I know
I might not know... what I want, but I do know what I don't
I just live obsession, Whilst I neglect my future, And when I face the mirror, If I can face the mirror
All I dream is drowning, My flinching body hanging, My could-be crushes crying, My lonely mother dying
Becomes one with the earth
This is the last time that I ever lose my way
I choose to dedicate myself to my friends and family I owe them my life, for all they've done for me I will never take my life, I will never die that way
I will never take my life, I will never go that coward way
DIE THAT COWARD WAY... THAT COWARD FUCKING WAY
The lyrics to Emerald Eye's "The Mirror" convey a deep sense of self-hatred and despair. The singer declares themselves as the enemy and the biggest coward they know, admitting to not knowing what they want in life but knowing what they do not want. They feel unable to open up and reveal their true emotions to anyone, believing that no one can get the best of them. The sense of distance and inability to connect intensifies as the singer confesses to living in obsession and neglecting their future, only to be faced with a haunting dream when looking into the mirror. In this dream, they imagine drowning, their crushes crying, and their mother dying, with their selfish corpse bleeding into the earth.
The final lines, "This is the last time that I ever lose my way / I choose to dedicate myself to my friends and family I owe them my life, for all they've done for me / I will never take my life, I will never die that way / DIE THAT COWARD WAY... THAT COWARD F***ING WAY" express a newfound commitment to live for loved ones and reject the cowardly act of taking one's own life. The song ultimately highlights the singer's struggle with mental health, self-loathing, and the importance of embracing a support system to heal and find hope.
Line by Line Meaning
I am the enemy, I am the biggest coward I know
I view myself as a foe and a complete coward.
I might not know, what I want, but I do know what I don't.
While I may not be sure of my desires, I am certain of my dislikes.
You, you can dig all you want, You'll never find my loving heart, No one can get the best of me
No matter how much you search, there is no love in my heart and no one can defeat me.
I just live obsession, Whilst I neglect my future, And when I face the mirror, If I can face the mirror
I only focus on my obsessions while ignoring my future, and when I confront my reflection, it is only if I have the courage to do so.
All I dream is drowning, My flinching body hanging, My could-be crushes crying, My lonely mother dying, My selfish corpse bleeds into the soil, Becomes one with the earth
My dreams involve such events as drowning, seeing my potential lovers cry, and watching my mother die. I become selfish and die in the soil, merging with the earth.
This is the last time that I ever lose my way
I am making a commitment to never again lose my path or direction in life.
I choose to dedicate myself to my friends and family, I owe them my life, for all they've done for me
I have decided to devote myself to my loved ones as I am indebted to them for all their help.
I will never take my life, I will never die that way, I will never take my life, I will never go that coward way, DIE THAT COWARD WAY... THAT COWARD FUCKING WAY
Suicide is not an option for me, and I refuse to go down the cowardly path of taking my life. I despise the thought and the act of suicide.
