The mirrors, the mirrors   That hides the hideous   Me, the others   Banned and forbidden   From of your world   Alone and cold   Watching in silence   So close, still aeons away...      Touch the surface, cold and smooth   You see me as I watch you...      When you move, I move too,   But is this you or me who moves?   Who are you and who's the reflection?   Crush a crack, feel the connection   I am you and we will win.   Crush the mirror. Let me in!      A little crack is all it takes.   Drop the mirror, let it fall   Because every time you smash a mirror,   I steal a little piece of your soul      The mirrors, the mirrors   That are between us   Me and you   Separated, delirious   You... beholder,   Seeing. We   Are watching, observing   You still when you are not   Touch the surface, cold and smooth   You see me as I touch you...      The borderline between me and you   Is a vast prison for both of us two   And you know what you must do   To get us out of this celestial's zoo      [Solo]      Crush it, crack it, smash it to pieces   Of your sick, pathetic world   Little fragments of yourself and me.   Flickering, see it twirl!      Destroy the pure, transparent shroud   Don't listen to your doubts   Let it break, smash it now   Let me in! Let me out!      The mirrors, the mirrors / are locked like doors   Me, alone / behind what's between us   Hidden, unseen / admired and adored   Aware, unknown / brinked with mistrust      Watch the mirror, broken and scarred   Seeing me as who you are   Your eyes are mine, and I look at your hand...   ...and I see blood.      [Behind the mirrors - Comments]      [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.]   [- Narrenschiff]
