Mirrors Lyrics
Dear Ms. White,
Put down this night
You wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat with red iron feet
You'll be nursing a bloody nose
Princess, rest
We talk in our sleep
But wouldn't dare to sit too close
I can't be your prince
Though your secrets are safe
I am the mirror who can't let go
With hair as black as night
Her skin, a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall
With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body
In the coffin where you sleep
Let this apartment breathe
'Cause it's what it needs
I'm suffocating the clock to keep you
I think like a saint
But swing like a thief
And inadvertently leading you
To believe I'm your prince
Adorn your bedroom with hints
Take the red from your eyes
And ink it into your skin
Now watch what you say
'Cause there's nothing grey
About the color of your sin
With hair as black as night
Her skin, a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall
With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body
In the coffin where you sleep
A fix
Just a little bit
Give the girl enough to sleep through this
So stop staring at the mirror
Before it tells you the truth
Cooperate or it'll kill you, too
With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
You're bleeding, you're bloodshot
Tired mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(You need to see the pieces you've thrown away)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
Keep your body
Get the hell away
From,
Me
" plan to keep you ? ? like a thief And inadvertently leaving you"
I think it says "swing like a snake and sway like a thief" My two cents.
Actually the song is a play on drugs and a fairy tale. Snow white, how she was almost killed, and he is the mirror, watching, but couldn't do anything about it. Notice how he says I'm no savior I'm no Saint, and how I can't be your prince, he realizes he cannot help her though he wants to, simply the story of Snow white, fucked up on drugs

mirror mirror on the wall?? get it
mirror mirror on the wall?? get it
And I just realized he says "With every breath and every intake"
Thanks.
amazing song/band. it seems to me like it's def a drug reference. maybe about some girl they know that's into it. And i think he says "All the cold that you caught, all the blow that you bought." but i could be totally off. And I kinda hear "Her skin a 10 perfect white."
the whole song isnt a drug refrence. i think what there saying is he had a drug problem that led to trying to murder, but the real murderur was the person he was after. thats why the song is called mirrors.

Actually, I think he says "Her skin a dead pearly white." and I think he says "Take the red from your eyes, and ink it into your skin."
I could be wrong, but i'm catching a very vague cocaine reference in this song.
I also hear...
"All the ? that you caught The blow that you bought"
Dear Miss White Oh, damn this night Wouldn't believe how much it snows In the summer heat With red iron feet You'll be nursing a bloody nose
Princess Wrecked We'll talk in our sleep But I wouldn't dare to sit too close I can't be your Prince Though your secrets are safe I am the mirror that can't let go
With hair as black as night Her skin, it is that perfect white And the red on the bathroom wall
With every breath And every intake Tip-toe further away Further away from his mistakes I'm no savior; I'm no saint, saint It's not what you needed anyway All the cold that you've caught The bones that you brought The blood that you've lost You built your body in the coffin where you sleep
Let this apartment breathe 'Cause its what it needs I'm suffocating the clock to keep you I think like a saint But swing like a thief And inadvertently leading you To leave on your wits And go in your bedroom with hits Take the red from your eyes And ink it into your skin Now watch what you say Because there's nothing gray About the color of your sin
With hair as black as night Her skin, it is that pearly white And the red on the bathroom wall
With every breath And every intake Tip-toe further away Further away from his mistakes I'm no savior; I'm no saint, saint It's not what you needed anyway All the cold that you've caught The bones that you brought The blood that you've lost You built your body in the coffin where you sleep
With every breath And every intake Tip-toe further away You're bleeding, your bloodshot Tired mistake I'm no savior; I'm no saint, saint You need to see the pieces you've thrown away All the cold that you've caught The bones that you brought The blood that you've lost Keep your body and the hell away from me
definitely has to do with drugs. i'm no coke expert, but don't people do coke off of mirrors?
i posted the lyrics that i figured out on plyrics.com which im pretty sure are the ones somethingudontknow posted the only thing that i changed after i submitted them is "his mistakes" to "this mistake"
edit on last chorus "The blow that you bought"
