Mirrors
Erik Jackson & Mr. Moods Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

いつの間にやり場もなく
こんな想いを抱いてた
ありふれて使い古した言葉を並べて

Oh, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
Oh, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, hmm

窓際に腰を下ろして
フォークギター鳴らしては
風立ちぬ夕暮れの空に向け歌う

そりゃ碌でもなく
ポップなんてものでもなく
ましてヒットの兆しもない
ただあなたへと想いを走らせた
単純明解な love song

舗道に沿って幸せそうに
歩き出した恋人達を
羨むように讃えるように
そっと君を待っている

人前で泣いたことのない
そんな強気なあなたでも
絶望の淵に立って
迷う日もあるでしょう

夢に架かる虹の橋
希望の光の矢
愛を包むオーロラのカーテン
その全てが嘘っぱちに見えて
自分を見失う様なときは
あなたが誰で何の為に生きてるか
その謎が早く解けるように
鏡となり傍に立ち

あなたを映し続けよう
そう願う今日この頃です

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Erik Jackson & Mr. Moods's song "Mirrors" describe a deep and overwhelming feeling of love. The singer expresses how they have been carrying these emotions without knowing what to do with them. They use ordinary and worn-out words to convey their feelings. The repetition of "Oh, love, love, love, love" emphasizes the intensity and all-encompassing nature of this emotion.

The second verse depicts the singer sitting by the window, playing a folk guitar and singing to the evening sky as the wind blows. They acknowledge that their love song is not exceptional or popular, but it is a simple and straightforward expression of their feelings for someone. The singer watches happy couples walking along the street, envying and applauding their happiness, while quietly waiting for their loved one.

The lyrics also touch on moments of despair and uncertainty. It acknowledges that even someone as strong and self-assured as the singer can find themselves standing on the edge of despair and feeling lost. The imagery of the rainbow bridge in dreams, the arrow of hope, and the curtain of love's aurora allude to the beauty and illusion of these emotions. In times when the singer feels like they are losing themselves, they hope to stand as a mirror beside the person they love, reflecting and reminding them of their true self and purpose in life.
