Mirror
ZOO-MIN-SHA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bottom sinks as it delves
Delusive lights tremble over the hive
I am barely lucid
Revelation unravells the crowd
Pumping blood from the heart of the sound
The groove unchained bounces off all the fear
Out of the Spirit
And only a shell
We are bridging the gap
Between heaven and hell
'Cause where we go one
We go all
That's a call
To rise
Awake
Have you found a reason to fight
To rise after a sleepless night
It seems like things that you can't leave behind
Made you stand wide open
The song "Mirror" by ZOO-MIN-SHA is a powerful introspection of one's place in the world and the role they play in society. The lyrics suggest a two-fold perspective: one of an individual trying to move forward and make a change in the world, and the other of someone who is lost and finding it difficult to stay on the right path. The opening lines "I am the dawn of the new world, I am the seed of future" establish a sense of hope and possibility, but also a challenge for the singer. The references to Sisyphus, the mythological figure condemned to endlessly roll a rock uphill, suggest that they are prepared to push themselves to their limits to achieve their goals.
Throughout the rest of the song, the singer talks about their desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others. They want to stop violence and heal the sick, and bring power back to the weak. The line "once again blood will flow through our hearts and not our streets" paints a stark contrast between the dream of a peaceful society and the reality of a world consumed by conflict. However, the singer acknowledges that change is difficult and there are limits to their ability to effect change. They are searching for answers beyond themselves, and at times feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of what they are trying to accomplish.
The lines "I am the last hope's killer, I am the blind man's mirror, I am the holy warlord" suggest a complex relationship between the singer and the idea of leadership. They are both the one who extinguishes hope and the one who reflects it back, a paradox that speaks to the difficulty of navigating a world where the line between good and evil is often blurred. The concluding line of the song "As the world screams at me another lullaby" reinforces the idea that although the singer wants to leave a positive mark on the world, they are confronted with a reality that is often more complicated than they can navigate.
