Robots Don't Sleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I can see you with my crystal vision through a two way mirror from another life time moving like a ghost wondering just what hurts the most cause nights I last alone
The Howling wind can catch you
did you know what have you done
stars at night dont see you
it doesnt matter matter now
the wolves at night wont touch you
the howling wind cant catchyou where did you go what have you done
it doesnt matter matter now
the woles at night wont touch you
just wanna hold you in my arms
Nights that last alone
I walked to the cematary I could you hear you speaking i could see you smiling moving in the moon light dancing in the shadows
right before my eyes
How i wish that you were hear the beside me dancing in the moonlight let your spirit guide me I wonder if ill ever ever ever love again
i dont think i will ever ever ever love again
the howling wind cant catch, well did you know what have you done
the stars at night dont see you, it doesnt matter matter now
the wolves at night wont touch
the howling wind cant catchyou where did you go what have you done
the souls at night dont see you
it doesnt matter matter now
the woles at night wont touch you
just wanna hold you in my arms
cause nights they last the most

The song "Mirror" by Robots Don't Sleep is a melancholic and haunting reflection of the singer's memories and longing for a lost loved one. The opening lines describe a visit to the cemetery where the singer can hear the deceased singing and see them shining like an angel in the moonlight. This creates a surreal and ghostly image of the deceased, possibly indicating that the singer is still processing the reality of their loss. However, the following verse introduces a more complex layer to the song, as the singer describes their ability to see the deceased through a two-way mirror from another lifetime. The distorted perspective of the mirror creates a sense of distance and separation, as if the singer is viewing the deceased from a different dimension. The line "moving like a ghost wondering just what hurts the most" highlights the unresolved emotions and lingering pain caused by the loss.
The chorus of the song brings back the imagery of the wolves and the howling wind, creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. The repetition of "the howling wind can't catch you" and "the wolves at night won't touch you" implies a sense of protection and safety for the deceased, despite their absence. The singer expresses their desire to hold the deceased in their arms, emphasizing the longing and void that remains.
Overall, "Mirror" is a poignant and introspective song that delves into the complexities of grief and loss. The use of vivid imagery and distorted perspectives adds to the haunting and surreal nature of the song.
