Cloudy Mirror
Spirit Caravan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up from your sleep
It's your soul you want to keep

The story's the same, and you're to blame
I'm sick of hearin' about your games
Your lyin' and your cheatin'
Your stealin' from your friends
As far as I'm concerned it's never the end

You got to get away
Got to live for better days
Make your bed in the clouds above
Or take a walk out in the sun

You think you're flyin' high
You think you got it straight
I can see it in your eyes
You ain't doin' so great
Your lyin' and your cheatin'




Your stealin' from your friends
As far as I'm concerned it's never the end

Overall Meaning

The song "Cloudy Mirror" by Spirit Caravan speaks about waking up from a spiritual slumber and realizing that it is important to take care of one's soul. The first line of the song "Wake up from your sleep" is a metaphor for realizing the importance of paying attention to one's spiritual well-being. The next line "It's your soul you want to keep" emphasizes the urgency of protecting one's soul.


The lyrics then shift to an accusatory tone, where the singer is sick of hearing about the person's games, lying, cheating, and stealing from their friends. The word "Your" is repeated five times in the first few lines to emphasize that this person is responsible for their actions, and it's up to them to make a change. However, the singer also says that as far as they're concerned, it's never the end, indicating that there is always a chance for redemption and change.


The chorus of the song encourages the listener to get away and live for better days, either by creating a space in the clouds or taking a walk in the sun. The next verse repeats the accusations from the first verse, but also highlights the person's delusion that they are flying high and have everything figured out. The song ends with the same hopeful message of the chorus, that it's never too late to make a change and live a better life.

Great song. I haven't heard that before. Remind me Manilla Road a little bit maybe early Maiden with Di Anno. Great 80's metal sound. So natural and true!
