Nowhere
Mirror Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe nothing lasts forever
The only permanence is change
We plod along drifting through the never
Curling tail between our legs

Under everything is a venomous sting
It's a poisonous thing
We can weave a wicked web of wonder
A ruse to mystify our prey
Fall headlong in every endeavor
Off the rails we shall stray

Ever following is the shadow we bring

And we don't know
Where this road goes
Still we'll follow
Where the light goes

I believe nothing lasts forever
I need to feel that I can change
But if I'm honest with the mirror
I have only seen one Face

And it's out of place
Seems so hard to erase

And I don't know
Where this road goes
Still I'll follow
Where the light goes

I believe nothing could be clearer
Face the man waning in the mirror
I believe nothing could be clearer




No one knows
No one knows

Overall Meaning

The song "Nowhere" by Mirror is an introspective look into the concept of change and the journey one takes in life. The first lines of the song emphasize that nothing lasts forever and that change is inevitable. The next lines describe the struggle that one faces when trying to navigate their way through life, often feeling lost and adrift. The line "under everything is a venomous sting, it's a poisonous thing" alludes to the negative emotions that can come along with change and the realizations about oneself that can sometimes hurt.


The second verse describes the false sense of reality that people may create in their minds to cope with the uncertainty of change. The line "A ruse to mystify our prey" suggests that people may deceive themselves or others in order to feel like they have control over their lives. However, this often leads to even more confusion and chaos. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't know where their journey will take them, but they will continue to follow the light in hopes of finding their way.
