What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The mirrors, the mirrors
2
That hides the hideous
3
Me, the others
4
Banned and forbidden
5
From of your world
6
Alone and cold
7
Watching in silence
8
So close, still aeons away...
9
Touch the surface, cold and smooth
10
You see me as I watch you...
11
When you move, I move too,
12
But is this you or me who moves?
13
Who are you and who's the reflection?
14
Crush a crack, feel the connection
15
I am you and we will win.
16
Crush the mirror. Let me in!
17
A little crack is all it takes.
18
Drop the mirror, let it fall
19
Because every time you smash a mirror,
20
I steal a little piece of your soul
21
The mirrors, the mirrors
22
That are between us
23
Me and you
24
Separated, delirious
25
You... Beholder,
26
Seeing. We
27
Are watching, observing
28
You still when you are not
29
Touch the surface, cold and smooth
30
You see me as I touch you...
31
The borderline between me and you
32
Is a vast prison for both of us two
33
And you know what you must do
34
To get us out of this celestial's zoo
35
[Solo]
36
Crush it, crack it, smash it to pieces
37
Of your sick, pathetic world
38
Little fragments of yourself and me.
39
Flickering, see it twirl!
40
Destroy the pure, transparent shroud
41
Don't listen to your doubts
42
Let it break, smash it now
43
Let me in! Let me out!
44
The mirrors, the mirrors / are locked like doors
45
Me, alone / behind what's between us
46
Hidden, unseen / admired and adored
47
Aware, unknown / brinked with mistrust
48
Watch the mirror, broken and scarred
49
Seeing me as who you are
50
Your eyes are mine, and I look at your hand...
51
... And I see blood.

[The Mirror-song-lyric was finished the same day as we recorded it, and with it's rather experimental way of writing, it delivers a punch I never thought it would do. As I wrote the lyric I wondered how short I could do each line. I wanted every line to punch like the little freeze you get down your spine when you see a mirror that you didn't know was there, or suddenly see something strange in there, so I wrote: "The mirrors / The mirrors / That hides / The hideous / Me / The others / Banned! / Forbidden!"]

[I think mirrors are one of the most spooky things in my house, and I never stop being fascinated by them. Horror movies like Poltergeist 3 and the Changeling was good inspiration and hard fuel for a spooky boost. I think the song has quite some good punchlines, and really enjoyed working them out.]
