Mercy Mirror Lyrics

We are forever as one in what remains
You're in my blood from the cradle to the grave
I don't like to think about the pieces
Or the cracks and the breaks that still remain
If I could breathe, I'd ask you

So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go

My heart like a planet the sun forgot
Where now? Orbiting the light that I had lost
More than words is silence teaches
How to see and to feel what is real
When sunlight reaches my soul?

So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go

It's a wicked game life plays
How it gives and takes away
No turning 'round, touching ground
What we had was so much more than I realized
If I could, I'd embrace, embrace you

And look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go

What is the Meaning of Mercy Mirror?

Ever felt like you’ve been hit by a freight train of emotions and then asked to walk it off? That’s the vibe here. Within Temptation's lyrical journey takes us through the labyrinth of love, loss, and the stubborn refusal to say goodbye. Our protagonist is clinging tighter than a toddler to their favorite blanket, grappling with heartbreak that's as persistent as glitter stuck on your face. The "mercy mirror" is a plea for solace and understanding, reflecting back the raw need for connection. It's a cosmic dance of feeling lost yet desperately orbiting around memories that still burn bright. Life’s cruel game of give-and-take has left our hero not quite ready to fold their hand just yet. In essence, it's an anthem for anyone who's ever tried to hold onto love with both hands while life insists on prying your fingers open one by one.
