Mirror
Perfidious Words Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun rising over
The heads of the city
Starting new
Wind is blowing warm air
Over your weary skin

Stepped into the world last night
And walked a shining road
I took all the chances just to
Find what we're living for
Losing myself, and I dream of you

To give in to your battles
Is harder than going
On like this
Where is the one you've been
Desperately waiting
For all your life?

Stepped into the world last night
And walked the darkest road
I took all the chances just to
Find what's worth living for
Losing myself, and I dream of you
Losing myself, and I dream of you

Silver and shining lights
Attracting me
The mirror draws a picture
What do you see?

Stepped into the world last night
And walked a shining road
I took all the chances just to
Find what we're living for




Losing myself, and I dream of you
Losing myself, and I dream of you
