have to quote this guy: " "The same old story/But the names have all been changed", and this latest victim was strong enough to rise above and try to defend their self against the evildoer, "The fatal mistake you made/Was of all the hearts you'd slain/How you kept alive my bloody valentine ". Or all the above said but the singer is talking to themselves, "Aiming at the enemy
I only smash the mirror". "
Okay, first of all, "the same old story, but the names have all been changed" could also refer to religion. Let's not forget about how similar most religions are.
and however tempting it might be to label this song to be about personal struggle, who says that maybe eppard at one point had a religion? In which case "aiming at the enemy I only smash the mirror" could mean that he's to some extent a hypocrite and probably hates himself for it. I know i would. Personally, being wary of the ways of 3, i find it too simplistic to label this song as ONLY a personal struggle. This song is about a personal and worldwide struggle with religion.
