Mirror Mirror
The Wolf Among Us [Ep.1] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mirror mirrors mine
You track the tactful pantomime
A lie
A lozenge lost in lung and lapsis linguae lingers lost
I found a faith in fantasy
You filled the felt w/ ink
My pen was licked w/ paint and pitch
Self love hides behind
Contempt for ones own grand design
A levelling of grandeur of a kind
The limit of the vandal and the crime
Relax
God made you this way
For a reason
In his image
WE LOVE PRETTY
Obsession for obsessions sake
WE LOVE PRETTY
A bauble
A frantic shaken snowing bulb
A wintry, Christmas kind
Was cracked and leaking saline slime
Alive
Was bounced from walk to flooding grate
Unmercifully tossed
And placed beneath the chimney, intent
To fill the vial w/ ink
My pen ran drink
W/ scratching signs
All scars besides
I love me too
You love you too
The song "Mirror Mirror" from The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 is a reflection on the concept of self-image and the impact of external appearances on our sense of self-worth. The opening lyrics refer to the vanity that can surface when looking in a mirror, as we become fixated on our own image. However, the song suggests that what we see in the mirror may not be an accurate representation of who we truly are. The second verse describes the way that others may perceive us, and how we may perform a "tactful pantomime" to hide our true selves from the world. Yet, this performance is a lie, and we may feel lost and disconnected from ourselves as a result.
The chorus presents a conflicting message, telling us to "relax" and accept that we are made in God's image "for a reason". However, this idea is juxtaposed with the repeated phrase "WE LOVE PRETTY", implying that our obsession with beauty and external appearances is not necessarily a healthy or admirable trait. The final verse describes a broken, leaking bauble that is tossed around and treated with disregard. Despite this, the singer feels a sense of love and acceptance for themselves, and acknowledges that the same is true for others. The song ultimately suggests that our true worth is not determined by our external appearances, but rather by the love and acceptance we offer ourselves and others.

There are actually some disturbing implications with the mirror, that they can spy on anyone at any time. Toad even joked about thinking he'd catch Bigby on the toilet.

The controls are bad in newer versions of Android... just try to hit the buttons a little bit off to the right of wherever you're supposed to hit.
