This is easily <b>he is legend's best song</b> and one of my favourite songs for sure.
as for its meaning i wasn't sure for ages, it could be about a split personality or about bad luck in relationships or madness or completely nothing or heaps of things.
but to me the lyrics and the song are far too well constructed to have no meaning. My interpretation is about superstition, <b>bad luck and how people let it rule their lives</b> not seeing that they are the reasons for what happens to them. Schuylar says its about magic, isn't superstition magic?
to me, there are two points of view within the lyrics, the blind man (im a blind man...), and bad luck itself (im a bad man...). the blind man represents a common person (anyone), the bad man is the <b>voice inside his head telling him that all bad things are caused by bad luck</b> and it has a hold on them. Through the song the blind man discusses his problems with bad luck, how he tries to avoid it but fails and <b>it is evident that he blames bad luck for his misfortunes in life</b>. Finally he realises that he is the fault of his bad luck ‘mirror mirror on the wall it was me who made you fall’ (<b>the mirror is a symbol for his mind</b>) also realising that he had been blind to his own wrongdoings (not literally blind).
I could go into heaps of detail to what i mean but it would be too long but i have often thought it is a pretty interesting song and this is just one of many plausible interpretations im sure, when it comes to the crunch <b>its what it means to you and i guess this is just what i think</b>
