Mirage
Haeredium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at the shiny points, dreamy and distant
Blind enough to take something for what it's not
Like a frozen sight is the pathway so vague
Where questioning minds are easily misled

Maybe was it too shiny for me not to want it?
Maybe the sky so close was simply out of reach?
Who dares to look away from a dream to start anew
When it's so easy to let your passion kill you?

From an image I wish to draw
The places unseen free from all
From an image I wish to know Where did the memories go

And here I will be, like the last man standing free
Running to choose my way before it chooses me
Who dares to look away from a dream to start anew
When it's so easy to let your passion kill you?

From an image I wish to draw
The places unseen free from all




From an image I wish to know
Where did the memories go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Haeredium's song "Mirage" reflect on the dangers of being lured by something that appears to be attractive and desirable, but in reality, turns out to be a false illusion. The first verse describes a person being entranced by something that seems promising and alluring, but is actually misleading and uncertain. The use of the word "mirage" in the title suggests that the person is being deceived by an illusion, which is further emphasized by the line "blind enough to take something for what it's not." The second verse poses a question about whether the person was so enamored by the illusion that they failed to see the reality of the situation. The decision to pursue a dream versus starting anew is explored, with the anxiety of potentially getting too caught up in a dream and losing oneself being a central theme.


The chorus of the song suggests that the person wants to let go of the illusion and seek out something more genuine. They wish to draw an image of a place that is free from illusions and reveals the truth. The final part of the chorus repeats the question "where did the memories go," which could signify that the person is questioning whether their past memories were real or just another illusion.


Overall, "Mirage" speaks to the human experience of being deceived and led astray by our desires and illusions. The song encourages the listener to be aware of the danger of pursuing something solely based on appearances and encourages them to seek out the truth.

Running to choose my way before it chooses me
I am hurrying to decide on my future before it is decided for me
