Mirrors
My Insanity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I put a gun to my head
Day by day a step further into nothingness
But now the cask is overflown
It seems to be that there's a voice
Speaking to me from within the glass
I hear words that try to save me
Maybe I should think-over my situation?
Suddenly I realize that mirrors cannot speak
And I see that the light at the end of the tunnel
Is just another train
A growing fear is filling my inner void
Is there another sense in life for me?
What else can I expect for myself?
I think I'm at the point of no return
Now I will disappear
This is the end
It's better to lose all control
The lyrics of My Insanity's song "Mirrors" tell a story of someone on the brink of taking their own life. The first verse describes how the singer stands before a mirror and puts a gun to their head. They feel like they are slowly walking towards nothingness, with every passing day taking them further away from hope. However, the second verse introduces a new element to the story - the voice from within the mirror. The singer hears words that try to save them and convince them that life can still be good. They consider the possibility of changing their situation and taking a different path in life.
But in the end, the singer realizes that the voice in the mirror is just their own subconscious mind. They are alone in their struggle and there is no easy way out. The growing fear and sense of inner void take over, and the singer feels they have reached the point of no return. They decide that it's better to lose all control and let go of everything than to continue suffering.
The lyrics of "Mirrors" explore the themes of depression, loneliness, and hopelessness. They paint a vivid picture of someone on the edge of existence, desperately seeking a way out. The song is a haunting and powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of seeking help when struggling with mental health issues.
