The Mirror by Harem Scarem is a song about a person who has fallen into a state of pride and sin and has lost connection with their faith. The protagonist sees themselves as nothing more than a crack addict and sinner, and they don't care about anyone or anything. They don't believe in the idea that there is "no cold in Nevada", and they don't care about how the fault lines don't shatter over them. The protagonist acknowledges that vines and weeds are growing on the blade, but they don't want to point fingers or place blame. They find it funny how wings grow to fly away from religion, and how they breed the lost and plead insane. The protagonist hates feeling anything at all, and when they do feel something, they hate the world and the reality of it. Despite their beliefs, the protagonist recognizes that peace and love can absolve the voice completely. However, they still find themselves in a darker war with fear and lust and they're looking for someone to help them explain the meaning behind it all. The Mirror is a song about a lost soul searching for answers and struggling to find meaning in their life.
