Taking influences from Progressive Metal, Jazz, Classical and Ambience - We are forming our own mold of Metal that takes all four genres into account to create a passionate form of music that has solid structure, beauty and depth.
We have plans to release 3 albums. The first and main album will be alike the MP3s on this MySpace, including vocals, guitars, drums, bass and the occassional keyboard. The second album will be acoustic renditions of the same songs, in the same layout, but with heavy reverb, a lot more atmospherics and a slower tempo. The third album will be classical and symphonic renditions of the same songs, in the same layout and with a reduced tempo.
Mirrors
Fallen Embers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know the person inside
I can't see past my own reflection
Why can't I show them, who I am
Why can't I break these walls down
Just a bit, just to let them see
The way things are, they are going nowhere
And mirrors
Things are looking grim, I think it's setting in
I don't wanna feel this way no more
So here I am, asking for
Deliverance from the man in the mirror
I know you see right through me
Even when I tell you I'm fine
If only I'd convince myself
That everything is wrong
That everything is wrong
Things are looking grim, I think it's setting in
I don't wanna feel this way no more
So here I am, asking for
Deliverance from the man in the mirror
Things are looking grim, I think it's setting in
I don't wanna feel this way no more
So here I am, asking for
Deliverance from the man in the mirror
But all I see is mirrors
Just come down, just reach out
Shut it down, before I shut down
Break these mirrors
Break these mirrors
Break these mirrors
Break these mirrors
Things are looking grim, I think it's setting in
I don't wanna feel this way no more
So here I am, asking for
Deliverance from the man in the mirror
Things are looking grim, I think it's setting in
I don't wanna feel this way no more
So here I am, asking for
Deliverance from the man in the mirror
Shut it down
The lyrics of "Mirrors" by Fallen Embers depict a powerful internal struggle and the artist's deep introspection. The repeated metaphor of mirrors symbolizes self-reflection and the feeling of being trapped within oneself. The singer is surrounded by mirrors, reflecting only their own image, unable to truly connect with others or express their true self. This sense of isolation and disconnect from their inner self is palpable as they question why they cannot show others who they really are.
As the song progresses, the tone becomes increasingly desperate as the singer longs to break down the walls that separate them from the world outside themselves. They acknowledge the stagnation they feel, realizing that they are not making any progress and are stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and uncertainty. The repeated mention of mirrors reinforces this feeling of being trapped within their own perception, unable to break free.
The chorus underscores the singer's deep emotional turmoil and the realization that they are unhappy with their current state. They plead for deliverance from the "man in the mirror," referencing the inner self that they struggle to come to terms with. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and a desire for change, as they express a yearning to escape the negativity and self-criticism that plagues them.
The final plea to "break these mirrors" encapsulates the ultimate desire for liberation and transformation. The singer is urging themselves to let go of their insecurities and fears, to shatter the barriers that prevent them from truly connecting with others and living authentically. The repeated chorus and the urgent plea to shut it down emphasize the urgency and intensity of their emotional turmoil, painting a vivid picture of someone on the brink of a breakthrough or breakdown. "Mirrors" is a poignant exploration of self-discovery, acceptance, and the struggle to break free from the confines of one's own mind.

I look around and all I see is mirrors
I am surrounded by reflections of myself, unable to see beyond my own image
I don't know the person inside
I struggle to understand my true self beneath the facade
I can't see past my own reflection
I am blinded by my own image, unable to see the deeper truth
Why can't I show them, who I am
I struggle to reveal my true self to others, hidden behind a mask
Why can't I break these walls down
I long to break free from the barriers preventing me from being authentic
Just a bit, just to let them see
Even a small glimpse of my true self would be a relief
The way things are, they are going nowhere
I feel stuck in a cycle of self-deception, longing for change
Things are looking grim, I think it's setting in
I am beginning to realize the severity of my internal struggle
I know you see right through me
Despite my efforts to hide, you see past my facade
If only I'd convince myself
I wish I could believe my own lies, but deep down, I know the truth
Deliverance from the man in the mirror
I seek liberation from the false image I see reflected back at me
Just come down, just reach out
I plead for connection and understanding, hoping for a way out
Shut it down, before I shut down
I must confront my inner turmoil before it overwhelms me completely
Break these mirrors
I desire to shatter the illusions and face my true self
