Mirrors And Knives
Rabia Sorda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Want to be a solder, i just want to fight
I want to be panished, 'cause guilt's
Everything i bleed
I look into your eyes
I look into your soul
I look into the mirror
I see the knives coming for me

The mirrors talk, these knives cut
Where demons stay, we're dust after all

My deepest cuts open up before me
You never wanted me to leave it all behind

I look into your eyes
I look into your soul
I look into the mirror
I see the knives coming for me

The mirrors talk, this knives cut
Where demons stay, we're duat after all

I try to be the answer
I try to be question

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rabia Sorda’s song Mirrors And Knives are intense and filled with raw emotion. The singer’s yearning to be a soldier, to fight and to be punished, stems from a deep sense of guilt that they have been carrying. The guilt is depicted as everything that they bleed, indicating that it is perhaps an internal struggle that they are fighting. As the singer looks into the mirror, they see knives coming for them, which gives us the impression that they are experiencing a great deal of internal conflict. The metaphorical interpretation of the knives could be seen as the demons that they are battling inside, constantly coming towards them.

The chorus of the song talks about how the mirrors talk and the knives cut. The mirrors could be a metaphor for the internal dialogue that the singer is having with themselves, or the reflection of themselves that they see in the mirror. The knives are a symbol of the pain that they are experiencing, and how it seems almost inevitable that they will be hurt by it. The lyrics “Where demons stay, we're dust after all” suggest that perhaps the singer is struggling to keep their demons at bay, and that they are ultimately powerless in the face of them.
