Cover art for Miroir Miroir lyrics by Desire

My interpretation of "Miroir Miroir" (the French version of Snow White's line) is a cry for worth and validation in a world that appreciates facades. The repeated chant of “It’s us” is a daring claim, where everyone is attempting to convince themselves constantly, almost like a masquerade.

“I work so hard and for what?” screams desperation and exhaustion under an endless chase of perfection and acceptance from others. When Desire mentions tears, sweat, and blood, it’s a way of saying that real beauty isn’t just skin-deep; it’s also paid for with pain, effort, and sacrifice that no one often sees. But when she sings "Let's go out tonight," to me, it seems like she's saying despite the hurt and doubts, some still step into the night with that mask to still have fun; it's a way of defiance for them. Even with cuts and bruises, they still show up with greatness, even if it's for one night.
