Mirrors
Ice and Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After waking from a nightmare
No moon, no pale reflection
Black mirror, black mirror
Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror
I know a time is coming
All words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn't mine
But mine is the only kind that I relate to
Le mirroir casse
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror
The black mirror knows no reflection
It knows not pride or vanity
It cares not about your dreams
It cares not for your pyramid schemes
Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken
The curse is never broken
Un, deux, trois, dis mirroir noir
Black mirror
Un, deux, trois, dis mirroir noir
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
The song "Mirrors" by Ice and Fire is a haunting and introspective piece that explores themes of identity, technology, and the fleeting nature of words and images. The song opens with the singer walking down to the ocean after waking from a nightmare. The absence of the moon in the night sky and the lack of a reflection in the water serve as a metaphor for the singer's own sense of alienation and disconnection from the world around them.
The lyrics reference a "black mirror," which is a term used to describe the screens of electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops. The "black mirror" in the song is shot by a security camera, and the singer reflects on the idea that while you can see your own image in these screens, you cannot truly look yourself in the eye. This speaks to the disconnect between our virtual lives and our true selves, as well as the lack of genuine connection in a society that is increasingly mediated by technology.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "black mirror" several times, urging the listener to consider the impact of technology on our world and our individual lives. The final lines of the song are a chilling reflection on the destructive power of humanity, as the singer asks the mirror to show them where the bombs will fall.
Overall, "Mirrors" is a powerful commentary on the state of the world and the human experience in the digital age.

I walk down to the ocean
I head towards the sea
After waking from a nightmare
After a bad dream
No moon, no pale reflection
No presence of the moon or its reflection
Black mirror, black mirror
A dark mirror
Shot by a security camera
Captured by a surveillance system
You can't watch your own image
One cannot observe their own image
And also look yourself in the eye
And simultaneously make eye contact with oneself
I know a time is coming
I am aware of an impending time
All words will lose their meaning
All words will become meaningless
Please show me something that isn't mine
Please present something that I do not own
But mine is the only kind that I relate to
However, only what belongs to me is relatable

The mirror is broken
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
The mirror reflects my image everywhere
The black mirror knows no reflection
The dark mirror cannot reflect
It knows not pride or vanity
It does not understand arrogance or hubris
It cares not about your dreams
It does not care about your aspirations
It cares not for your pyramid schemes
It does not care for your pyramid schemes
Their names are never spoken
Their names are never uttered
The curse is never broken
The curse remains unbroken
Un, deux, trois, dis mirroir noir
One, two, three, say dark mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall
A reference to Snow White
Show me where them bombs will fall
Reveal where the bombs will strike
Black mirror
A dark mirror

Love this and an absolutely storming crescendo
popbottle
love that crazy bass
Another settlement needs your help
This would be great for bond-like spy film. Ideally after or during a scene involving spying trough mirror, Iām thinking when Bond had sex in the second film while they looked at them trough mirror at them.

the bass is off the HOOK
