In Flames - The Mirror's Truth Lyrics






This spectacle, our collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in.

I guess, we are the insane
As we ignore the mirror's truth

Should I join the feast?
Should I acknowledge the leash?
A future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be.

Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this light explode.

The bleeding, we deceive them
Fuel the life that fades
At the height of reason
We shouldn live by your laws
Call the swarm
Feed them another false hope.

[x2]
Without even trying (killing the last scene)
Let this night explode
Without even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear

    Eric Munnich you know this song came out in 2008 it was a rad year to fuck the system lmao

  12. M.... B....

    I discovered this band because this song was on Madden years ago. Madden 09 I think. Best part is that guitar at 2:06!

    M.... B....

    same here it was an awesome soundtrack

    M.... B....

    Madden 09 was amazing

    M.... B....

    @Hylian Wolf as a little kid i spent hours apon houris on that game listening to this and Hollywood undead

    M.... B....

    @hlxsz Same. I've created a lot of great memories thanks to this game

  13. S.... ....

    THIS TESTICLE

  16. J.... A....

    I think this song has a strong anti-systemic vibe... (the dudes working fast, the master watching them) They also talk about "the spectacle, our collapse" (modern capitalism I guess?) "The leash" is a reference to the 8-hour work day?.

    "we shouldn't live by your laws" I think it's about corporations, states and ideologies that enslave the free humans.

    "call the swarm, feed them with another false hope" To me this lines refers to the illusion of choice that polititians give us (specially here in latin america)

    The chorus "Without even trying, Let this light explode" refers to the anger and frustration of not being able to be optimistic about "a future in captivity and not being who you supposed to be"

    The solution they give us is to "find the exit sign and disappear" don't know if they're talking about creating your own game with your own rules, or go to live in a forest or just commit suicide.

    I conclude this song is very nihilistic. But in the end it's an amazing song overall and I love it.

    J.... A....

    Anyone else read that as "anti-semetic"? lol

    J.... A....

    @MiliMesiMusic What's the difference? They own the system pretty much.

    J.... A....

    Ninten The Metalhead yep

  17. D.... �....

    It's really nice they let them record the every day of the chinese worker

  18. S.... ....

    This era of in flames sure had some fucked up videos/art

  19. P.... M....

    Metal videos should only be a combination of live concert footage, the band jamming in an abandoned warehouse or barn and some simple but violent side story. Lol

  20. s.... g....

    I feel like this use to have a lot more views

  21. Q.... D....

    I discovered the band with this song and now I want to listen every others !

    Q.... D....

    nice :)

  22. Y.... K....

    this song before they lost their sound.

    Y.... K....

    This was the exact moment they lost their sound. Come Clarity was a kind of farewell to their old and old 'new' sound and starting from this album it's been poop.

  23. T.... S....

    This song should have like millions of views how the fuck did this song not become a hit

  24. Q.... D....

    this band is... so great !!!

  25. G.... A....

    MX VS ATV REFLEX

  26. K.... R....

    This song has a very interesting sound and a beautiful melodic hook melody. I like this song so much that I created a guitar cover of it that can be found on my channel, please enjoy! In Flames we trust!

    K.... R....

    Have you listened to disconnected yet???

  27. U.... B....

    Just when I thought I have watched all their videos, this popped up. Sadly, I missed this one. First time watching this in 2017. lol.

  28. d.... b....

    i love in flames xD

  29. d.... b....

    i never can put in flames in my lists or phone or anywhere...just put all albums and thats it

    #BetterThanTheTruth

    T.... A....

    what it mean

    T.... A....

    You again?

  31. t.... ....

    Head bangers ball brought me here the song that got me listening to In Flames

  32. T.... P....

    madden nfl 09 brought me here

  33. i.... ....

    This video may have actually rekindled my love for this song.

    i.... ....

    +ikiwyu whats the meaning of it

    i.... ....

    +Todd P i can tell it has something to do with a rebellion in some sort of dystopian-ish type of society but that's all i can figure out right now

    i.... ....

    @fueledbydeath i see

    i.... ....

    Well it's not so much the meaning itself that intrigues me as the abstract art style. Judging by how In Flames' music has gradually become moreso themed around the human condition ever since clayman, I'd say the music video has something to do with the idea of leading an ordinary, substance-less existence and being controlled by some omniscient power. The scenes repeatedly showing the pinball map reinforce this idea as even in the past, In Flames have used the idea of a pinball map as a symbol of life's predictable structure (including on the song... well... pinball map).

    i.... ....

    @ikiwyu so it's the zionist jews!!!

  34. J.... D....

    In Flames !! I love this band! Cool video!

  35. G.... P....

    del putas lml

  36. E.... P....

    My favourite !

  37. N.... ....

    What's the meaning to this song I know that it's partly about insanity but there's got to be another meaning I just can't figure it out

    N.... ....

    @***** thanks

    N.... ....

    +Rutger van der Meer that last sentence speaks volumes

    N.... ....

    dude.... well idk what to say but.... Wise words!!!!

    N.... ....

    Idk exactly but a lot of rock music at this time was about trying to find yourself and breaking away from popular (white American) culture
