Williams, Jeff - Mirror Mirror, Pt. II Lyrics






Who am I to complain?
My life's been spared so much pain
Born with all that I need
My comforts all guaranteed

So what's the problem?
What's keeping me
From moving forward?
It's hard to see
I should be free now
I should be fine
But the life I fought for
Still isn't mine

Some believe in fairy stories
And the ghosts that they can't see
I know that I could do so much
If I could just believe in me
Mirror mirror
Tell me something
Can I stop my fall?

Years of scorn will leave you cold
'Forget your dreams do what you're told'
When disapproval's all you're shown
The safest place becomes alone

And isolation's
The price you pay
And every friendship
Is pushed away
But bit by bit now
A step each day
I'm slowly starting
To find my way

Some believe in fairy stories
And the ghosts that they can't see
I know that I could do so much
If I could just believe in me
Mirror mirror
I'll tell you something
I think I might change it all

  1. B.... P....

    "Years of scorn will leave you cold."

    *Looks at Weiss in volume one*

    Okay checks out

    *Looks at Whitley with how long Weiss has been gone*

    Looks like I got a man to bitch slap.

  2. A.... R....

    The first few lines in the song can really relate to a lot of us. How we feel when someone says something like "Well you have a better life then kids in Africa." Well we have better lifes some of them have a better mental state then us. And they just don't see that in the end your suffering just as much as they are.

  3. R.... L....

    I relate to this song

  4. C.... ....

    Literally describes me. "So what's the trouble keeping me from moving forward" her troubled past with her dad. And loneliness becomes your best friend until u realised that everyone u known and loved has drifted away from you because of isolation

  5. D.... G....

    When she says "the life I fought for", she's referencing how she fought for her life during the Fall of Beacon.

  6. Z.... ....

    I get literal chills every time I listen to this song.

  7. L.... W....

    I listen to this song when I'm depressed because it's my life to a T. It's also why I like Weiss. If she can handle herself, so can I. I look up to her strangely.

  8. J.... M....

    "my comforts all guaranteed" is what its meant to say

  9. K.... ....

    This song describes my life in my early teens and high school years.

  10. P.... G....

    _Do you see, Weiss?_
    _A narrow black-and-white point of view is never the right one._
    _Every coin has two sides._

  11. T.... #....

    WE RESPECT THE WOMAN AND I WILL SNIPE ANYONE WHO D A R E S TO DENY IT

  12. M.... S....

    Weiss and Yang are the best

  13. W.... S....

    "I should be free now"

  14. C.... ....

    Abuse takes many forms. She may have been born with all that she needs, every comfort guaranteed, but her dad does not hide the fact that he only sees his children as trophies and contingencies.

  15. m.... d....

    Weiss and Blake has the most development, while yang and ruby leave more to be desired :/

  16. m.... ....

    It says what's the problem but on the screen it says what's the trouble

  17. s.... c....

    HOW DO YOU AHVE MIRROR MIRROR PART 2 BUT NOT PART 1?!?!?

  18. M.... M....

    Though it is much, MUCH easier to sing than Mirror Mirror and This Life is Mine, it’s still my favourite Weiss song tying with Path to Isolation.

  19. [.... e....

    y is this 2 not 1?

  20. T.... ....

    she says "mirror mirror", but her spine says "hospital".

    T.... ....

    beautiful

  21. C.... I....

    Incredibly relatable

  22. K.... S....

    i swear weiss has the BEST songs!

  23. L.... C....

    I love how in this song it really sounds like she’s having a full on conversation with her mirror

  24. C.... C....

    The song vocals say problem yet the lyrics are put as trouble. That needs to be fixed.

  25. W.... ....

    0:53 I hear "my comfort's all guaranteed"

  26. B.... B....

    Oof I feel this on a PERSONAL level

  27. A.... P....

    Trouble or problem in the beginning of the song

  28. M.... R....

    A friend showed me this song i have never watched thia anime nor have i heard of it but this song? Its literally speaking what my soul has been holding in deep down for the past 10 years and im only 21 , no lie i started to get teary eyes listening to this it hits me on a personal level just....WOW. Im going to support this anime and begin a serious binge.

  29. V.... A....

    It's a kind of sad how this song reminds me the way I still feel about being a ''gifted child'' who wasn't unidentified.
    I could bet that I'm not the only one
    Nothing but a curse.

  30. n.... r....

    “Some believe in fairy stories and the things that they can’t see, I know that I could do so much, if I could just believe in me”

  31. P.... S....

    At 1:02 the song says "so what's the problem? What's keeping me" but the lyrics you have put 'so what's the trouble?' otherwise fantastic work keep it up!

  32. L.... N....

    DAMN! That was quite harsh the lyrics but never I have ever resonated & related so much to a song, a RWBY song nonetheless!

  33. J.... U....

    To me its scary how relateable i am with weiss

  34. P.... R....

    Weissolations the price you pay

  35. P.... R....

    I was raised in comfort from the ages 9-14 . It’s all I really remember of my childhood bc of something that happened when I was about seven.
    When I was 10 I started to get depressed. I wasn’t what my grandmother wanted me to be.
    “Forget your dreams do what you’re told”
    She was manipulative and often told me what I wanted to do was impossible. Constantly comparing me to my parents( druggie and a drunk). Making me feel useless.
    “The safest place is alone”
    For so long I was scared to trust. I spent the years from 10-12 avoiding everyone. I thought everyone was like my grandmother, that I wasn’t good enough for them. That all they’d do was hurt me.
    At thirteen I made friends!! My first ones in a long time :). I was still depressed, and this was the year I went to cutting.
    At thirteen, three days before one of my best friends birthday, I tried to kill myself.
    A year later and I finally feel in control of my life. I moved away and miss my friends dearly, but I did this for me! :)

  36. M.... J....

    Turns out the fairy stories were real, huh Weiss?

  37. U.... C....

    "I should be free now / I should be fine / But the life I fought for / Still isn't mine"
    PIJHBSCIAB AND THEN LATER WE GET A SONG CALLED "This Life Is Mine" IM SHOOK

  38. J.... M....

    I’ll be completely honest, the more I come to terms with my own family trauma, the more I see myself in Weiss. Everything seems so hopeless to her; she can’t be free of her overbearing parent, no matter how hard she tries. She can’t even believe in herself anymore, and she is losing all hope. But by the ending verse, she still has one little glimmer to hold on to and you can hear it in the slight confidence in her voice in the second chorus. Through her friends and the people that truly care for her, she is beginning to believe in herself the way they believe in her. And she tells the mirror that she will change her destiny.

    Honestly, when I first heard this song in Volume 3, I burst into tears, knowing that Weiss was going to make it. She was going to be strong and become her own person. That is what I hope for me and for anyone else going through a similar situation.

    Man, this song makes me feel so many emotions ahhhhhhhh

  39. A.... A....

    It helps me to reflect and to stay calm during my me times and to be stress free

  40. A.... A....

    This is a beautiful song and how it is composed

  41. M.... ....

    When you realize the "Loneliest of all" isn't Weiss but Whitley

    M.... ....

    Yeah I honestly feel bad for him . . . I mean think about it he’s been molded by his father and he had no choice in the matter. Who knows what happened when h3 tried to act out

  42. E.... ....

    それは心を感情で満たします...

  43. t.... ....

    The life I fought for Still isn't mine

    This line has so much more context with the Manga explaining the White trailer. She really did fight to get out of Atlas... only to be forced back and have to run away again after being stripped of her birthright by someone who shouldn't even have that right in the first place. I cannot wait for the song that is the revolution and systematic takedown of Jacque. I'm more interested what side Whitley will fall on since he's been molded by his father but at the same time technically pushed Weiss into getting out of there. He's on a thin line and could be the deciding factor of whether SDC falls into chaos and Salem or is redeemed by him and Weiss

  44. a.... ....

    Shouldn't it be "my life's been spared so much pain"

  45. R.... ....

    3:51
    I think I might change it all *click*
    well she did it. She changed everything.

  46. G.... W....

    Weiss has 100% read Stirner.

  47. B.... ....

    I find this song relatable??

  48. T.... ....

    I’m not sure if it’s just me but does the art for the video remind anyone of Fire emblem? I don’t know why but the picture reminds me of art from those games

  49. m.... b....

    Weiss is so awesome. <3

  50. G.... o....

    The moment you listen to Path to Isolation, then this. All the connections.

  51. T.... ....

    "Ice-Sole-Lay-Shunned"

  52. H.... J....

    How how HOW have I only discovered this song now?

  53. A.... 1....

    At the start i thaught i was listening to evanesence

  54. L.... ....

    Can I use this for a tribute for a movie? I'll give full credit.

  55. S.... N....

    WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT NECK!?

  56. L.... R....

    Out of all the RWBY characters id say Weiss is probably the most relatable to me. Not the part that i have bad parents, but pretty much everything else in the song.

  57. T.... -....

    1. Mirror Mirror Pt II
    2.Die
    3.Red Like Roses Pt II
    My Fave songs :3

  58. A.... M....

    So many wrong lyrics in this>_< so what’s the PROBLEM
    MY COMFORT ZONE guaranteed
    Ugh I’m leaving

  59. R.... C....

    For some reason, I hear "so what's the problem" instead of trouble. Help.

  60. d.... ....

    The only song - ever - that made me cry.

  61. B.... ....

    Is it just me, or does Weiss look like a vulture?

  62. 1.... ....

    lmaoo why are there captions in english

  63. c.... ....

    Since I've been late on finding this song for a long time, I decided to give it a go and hear it the whole way through. Later on after hearing it a few more times in a few weeks, I had a small idea and it's gonna sound like an AU idea but here we go:
    Weiss is usually forced to sing in a genre, like opera or something that you would hear in a certain play. Weiss doesn't like doing this and she prefers listening to this kind of music genre and finds a way to leave her home in the middle of the night to perform this song in an underground jazz club. After attending Beacon, she then got used to her team and all of that and realized that Ruby liked it too and also liked something rock and thought of an idea to make a song with her so they ended up making "It's My Turn" together. Ruby, if given the chance to perform that song with her, would also try bringing an electric guitar that looks a little similar to Cresent Rose and many people would enjoy the Hell out of it.

  64. L.... M....

    I love how everyone goes from hating Weiss in volume 1 to loving Weiss all the way to volume 5

  65. S.... F....

    I'm not sure how I missed this song, but I only just know found it. I think it's my fav Weiss song, honestly

  66. g.... ....

    anyone know which episode this song shows up in?

  67. J.... 1....

    Beautiful song

  68. T.... P....

    This song is my whole life

  69. J.... I....

    Every lyric speaks relatable

  70. K.... A....

    Are your videos claimed or are you making money off of these if you dont mind me asking? (I watch them at least like 3 times a day and im just curious)

  71. J.... W....

    In some ways, i can relate to this song

  72. K.... M....

    Tomorrow is hype

  73. L.... ....

    Could they use Mirror Mirror II (like Red Like Roses II) for Blazblue Cross Tag Battle?

    L.... ....

    Lantis 34

    I don't know, this theme just doesn't fit a fast paced fighting game at all. However, if we're not getting remixes, I don't see what else will be Weiss's theme.

  74. S.... N....

    @FlyntofRWBYNation you misspelled "comfort". at 0:51 it's spelled "comfored"

  75. A.... D....

    It's all about rwby

  76. M.... L....

    If you put the speed up to 2 the song has a completely different feel to it.

  77. O.... B....

    Is it bad that i can relate to song? XD

  78. e.... ....

    Weiss needs a hug.

  79. a.... ....

    this is my favorite out of both parts but its not as good as the one in vol.4 im not saying the tiltle just to make things shorter

  80. W.... D....

    love your videos, but man this is bothering me. My comfered soul guaranteed? Its "my comforts all guarenteed." Love you man but i had to say it.

  81. B.... T....

    Can't wait for part 3 with the character trailer song, they love this leitmotif.

  82. W.... L....

    I can see Zelda from Breath of the Wild singing this.

  83. K.... M....

    "Evry friendship is pushed away" makes me think of all my friends

  84. P.... B....

    who else listens to this song when they're going through shit

  85. A.... C....

    vol 5 weiss story idea/theory: papa schnee will do like the evil queen grimhilde and have someone try to kill weiss

  86. S.... ....

    Weiss confuses me so hard because i hate her so much yet i also really like her alot.. idk i think vol 5 might become my decider on her.. we'll see i suppose?

  87. K.... F....

    This song is my life in a nutshell. The first and second part.

  88. O.... G....

    Honestly, I didn't really like Weiss that much. I mean she has redeeming qualities and in time, she made up for her mistakes (like when she stopped being so racist towards Faunists). But upon discovering that she has an abusive father I really started to feel sympathetic for her, especially because I know how it feels to have a father that doesn't support or stand by you (even though he never physically abused me he even scares me to a certain extent). So what I'm trying to say is I now have mad respect for Weiss right now!

  89. �.... P....

    YOUR THE FUCKING SAVAGE PRINCESS THAT'S WHO YOUR ARE.

  90. P.... E....

    "The life I've fought for still isn't mine" Foreshadowing for This Life Is Mine later

  91. C.... P....

    *RWBY Volume 5 boys! Let's go!!* 😀

  92. B.... A....

    All her songs make me cry... EVEN THE NEW ONE!!!

  93. Y.... B....

    Love her voice

  94. N.... ....

    Anyone think that the big statue thingy in Weiss' trailer represents her fathers authority?

  95. D.... T....

    I relate to Weiss perfectly

  96. M.... C....

    I'm too lazy to read through all the comments but I hope you know your lyrics are wrong.

    M.... C....

    Maria C. there not wrong

  97. d.... ....

    Come on vol 5. Please keep up the character development from vol 4. It was great to see all the characters even Sun grow a little and sing some light on what life before and after Beacon was like for all of them.


    p.s is there any word on when the official OST for vol 4 comes out? I really love the song that was playing when Qrow and Tyrian fought. However I cannot find any official tracks that are not ripped from the show.

  98. R.... B....

    I'm pretty sure it's comforts all not comfored soul(especially seeing as comfored isn't a word) and it's definitely what's the problem not what's the trouble.

  99. M.... B....

    Beautiful

  100. N.... Z....

    Damn, I can relate to this on a real life level. My family is one of the luckiest, and wealthiest among my city. And, growing up, my Dad always expects me to be what he wants me to be. I'm not saying that's bad, but it's just, whenever I say something he doesn't like, he always looks at me like I'm nothing more than a disappointment. Even when I'm just having my own opinion, he still doesn't like it.

    He sees too much of himself in me, except, I'm more expressive about what I want to do. I'm much more like him than my siblings, thank god for them. He always pushes me around, expecting me to be just like him, and considers me as his favourite child.

    He can't do that! He shouldn't have any favourites, he should've loved all his kids equally, yet, he chose me. I'm forced to do things that I don't want to, and I can't say no because it's too late for me to do so. I'm on a leach, and I can get out of it once I'm an adult.

    Weiss is such a relatable character, I can't even believe that I would relate so a character this deeply. And especially this song too.

    N.... Z....

    Sameeee

    N.... Z....

    I want to hug you 💜 my family dynamic is a lot like Weiss's entire family. Mom is a mess, dad is controlling and big on appearances, my brother and I grew up being close and he always puts me up when I need a place to stay. My sister is the youngest and we never got along growing up. I think we're getting better, but I can't tell because much like Weiss I'm not speaking to my parents and she still lives with them. They're very successful but not filthy rich or anything. Just upper middle class.
    Last couple fights I tried to calmly talk to them about how I thought we were miscommunicating and that having differing opinions isn't a bad thing. It's just life. But they didn't like that I was brave enough to try and talk to them about it I guess? Because it became a huge fight and I moved out again (that night at midnight) and haven't spoken to them since.
    They're deeply offended and expect an apology from me.
    So yeah- a mess haha
    I hope maybe Weiss can give you some answers as to how you can handle your family, as I'm hoping she'll give me some.

    N.... Z....

    I hear you, but in a slightly different way... my family isn't anything special. We're just an ordinary middle class family. I'm the younger sister, growing up in the shadow of my seemingly perfect older sister...

    She got the top grades, took some classes a year early because she could. Took one of the most challenging programs in our version of high school, again finishing with top grades. Went on to study at one of the most well known universities here, top grades.

    Then there's me... happy if I didn't fail any classes... my parents constantly being angry about my bad grades instead of actually helping me do anything about it...

    Then when I find something I want to do, something I want to become, they say it's impossible...

    At the same time I feel like I have expectations on me from sailing too... both me and my dad sails. He's been doing it most of his life and even though he's not an elite sailor, he's known both in our harbour and most other places around the lake... he's known for being REALLY good at what he does.

    Then there's me. Sharing his last name and as soon as I say it, people go "Anders daughter?!" in a way that makes it feel like they expect me to be JUST LIKE HIM
    (Meanwhile I once accidentally overheard dad say that I wasn't good enough to be in his crew for a race)

    So to sum it all up:
    My parents expect me to be a perfect daughter like my sister and tells me that my dreams to be a baker is impossible

    People in the harbour expect me to be just as good at sailing as my dad (which I'm not), while my dad thinks that I'm not good enough to race with him

    And mom just constantly tells me to be better at EVERYTHING making me feel like I can do nothing right

    Yea... I'm not very close with my family... except maybe my grandpa
    I'm more like him than anyone else. He's the reason I have one of the most important things I have. My love for singing and music in general
