Shadows In A Mirror Lyrics

I'm watching somebody's heart break in two
And wondering if somewhere you're crying to
Shadows in a mirror tell me that I'm wrong
Shadows in a mirror tell me that we're through

I'm watching somebody's world at an end
And wondering if someday we'll love again
Shadows in a mirror tell me that I'm wrong
Shadows in a mirror tell me that we're through

Oh and I, I still need your love
I can't see my life darling without you

Shadows in a mirror, shadows in a mirror

I'm watching somebody's world at an end
And wishing that somehow we could love again
Shadows in a mirror tell me that I'm wrong
Shadows in a mirror tell me that we're through

Oh and I, I still need your love
I can't see my life darling without you
Shadows in a mirror, shadows in a mirror, shadows in a mirror

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Shadows In A Mirror lyrics by Chris Isaak

I have been working on a cover of this song, so I had some time to think about it. This is a detached view of a personal breakup. When he says, "I'm watching somebody's world at an end", he is talking about himself, because he is looking in a mirror. Other than that, the meaning is pretty straightforward..
