Mirror
die fuge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I smash the mirror and I cut
with a broken piece my hand
stairways I run...

Standing under dead sky
the sun is shining but it's dark
stairways I run...
In every mirror I saw your face
with that golden angel hair
your smile gives me the rest




I can not reach you
I've tried my best

Overall Meaning

It is clear from the lyrics of Die Fuge's song "Mirror" that the singer is in a state of distress and anguish. The act of smashing a mirror and cutting themselves with a broken piece of it suggests a desire for painful release and perhaps self-punishment. The repeated line "stairways I run" could represent a desperate attempt to escape from their inner turmoil or an actual physical flight from a specific location or situation.


The second verse of the song adds to the sense of despair, with the mention of a "dead sky" and the paradoxical image of a shining sun that brings no light or warmth. The singer is unable to find solace or meaning in the external world, and their thoughts keep returning to a person represented by their reflection in every mirror. This person, with their golden hair and reassuring smile, seems to be a source of comfort and hope but also unattainable. The line "I can not reach you, I've tried my best" suggests that the singer has already made efforts to connect with this person, but they remain out of reach.
