Sonsombre is by many the most exciting thing to happen to goth music in a decade. One can say he is creating a rival with this old school goth vibe with modern twists. Brandon Pybus has a classic gothic rock image too, dressed in black with big brimmed hat, crucifix and shades but with the new touch, that of a catholic preacher.

Mirror Mirror
Sonsombre Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Behind the Mirror what do you see
The hands of the undead reach out to me

And in the night time I′m reaching out to you
I will hold you when there's no one else no one else
Like dying candlelight It′s dancing here for you
I will surround you when theres nothing left nothing left

I cannot feel I cannot see you there
Behind the mirror what do you see?
I do not know if I will meet you there
Behind the mirror what do you see?

You call the winds with night surrounding you
I will caress you when theres no one else

Like ancient firelight it purifies for you
I will be near you when there's nothing left nothing left

Overall Meaning

In Sonsombre's song "Mirror Mirror", the lyrics suggest a sense of uncertainty and mystery that surrounds what is hidden behind the mirror. The persona in the song wonders what lies behind the mirror and what they would see if they could look into it. The chorus describes the persona's longing to reach out and hold someone close, someone they can turn to in times of uncertainty, and loneliness. The metaphor used to describe their relationship is similar to the flicker of a dying candlelight or ancient firelight, dancing with warmth and comfort, but also on the edge of disappearing, of being lost forever.

Offering companionship in the face of complete destruction, staying by your side even when all else is lost.
