Dream Theater - The Mirror Lyrics






Temptation-
Why won't you leave me alone?
Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go

Self Control-
Don't turn your back on me now
When I need you the most

Constant pressure tests my will
My will or my won't
My Self Control escapes from me still...

Hypocrite-
How could you be so cruel
and expect my faith in return?

Resistance-
Is not as hard as it seems
When you close the door

I spent so long trusting in you
I trust you forgot
Just when I thought I believed in you...

[Sample is Meryl Streep from the film "Falling In Love".]
"What're you doing?
What're you doing?"

It's time for me to deal
Becoming all too real
living in fear-
Why did you lie and pretend?
This has come to an end
I'll never trust you again
It's time you made your amends
Look in the mirror my friend

[Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".]
"That I haven't behaved as I should"
[Sample is Mary Beth Hurt from the film "Light Sleeper".]
"Everything you need is around you. The only danger is inside you."
[Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".]
"I thought you could control life, but it's not like that. There are things you can't control."

Let's stare the problem right in the eye
It's plagued me from coast to coast
Racing the clock to please everyone
All but the one who matters the most

Reflections of reality
are slowly coming into view
How in the hell could you possibly forgive me?
After all the hell I put you through

It's time for me to deal
Becoming all too real
living in fear-
Why'd I betray my friend?
Lying until the end
Living life so pretend
It's time to make my amends
I'll never hurt you again

    The first time I heard these polimetric I was literally hypnotized!!! 😱

  11. �.... �....

    what the hell do all these Spanish people in the comment section say?

  12. M.... B....

    For all who don’t understand Brazilian Portuguese, this song was also inspired by the band Mamonas assassinas, the biggest Brazilian rock of the middle of 90’s , the song is called BOYS Don’t CRY, they mix Brazilian cultura, a lot of funny stuff with Rock/Metal music.

  13. M.... B....

    Boys don’t cry

  14. M.... T....

    Mamonas Assassinas misturaram Dream Theater com Rush na música Bois Don't Cry
    Mamonas também misturaram farios sons.
    Que saudade dos Mamonas, eles eram fodas

  15. B.... S....

    That riff!!

  16. L.... C....

    This was dream theater at it's best

  17. V.... ....

    5:13 no band will ever compare

  18. v.... ....

    dario antonini ti odioooooooooooooooooo

  19. V.... ....

    6:15 the heaviest and darkest music they've ever made.

  20. s.... R....

    El riff me ase acordara a la canción domination de pantera

    s.... R....

    escuta bois dont cry dos mamonas que baseada nessa musica

  21. M.... T....

    Os Mamonas Assassinas eram demais meu.
    Mistura de Rush e Dream Theater.
    Bois Don't Cry é uma paródia da música "Boys Don't Cry (The Cure)

  22. R.... ....

    The intro was like outro on domination of pantera

    R.... ....

    also sounds like "killer castles" which makes reference to the dream theater, listen to "bois dont cry" of killer breasts (a comic rock band that mixes various musical genres but only had 8 months of career due to the air crash, they sold but of three million albums in the first album, being the tenth best selling album in Brazil) - which mixes country with this rif, but the dream fether songs that have a keyboard of the killer breasts of the song you do not dream of the song " Weak metal (which makes a pun with a weak mind, translated as "weak metal"
    Debil metal
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjbcmTE38mU
    oxen don't cry (talk about a guy who is cheated on by his wife)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XbrntZ7WYg

    R.... ....

    Be a cuck or not to be?

    There's my indignation

    Without you i've been sufering





    Drinking on the bars

    Getting into troublous

    You're such a fiery

    So beauty and lovely

    The way i always wanted

    My hot little thing.

    Gave to poors, is goodness

    I'm cuck but i'm happy

    Soy um conformed hombre

    I hear the voice of heart
    S
    I'm a cuck in love

    I know i was cheated

    But what is worth is horny

    And at bed when she's turn on





    By another name call me

    But there's a easy explanation:

    The my name is Dejair
    asy to confuse

    With João do Caminhão (John of the truck)

    So see how it is

    The ingratitude of a woman

    She is my treasure

    We were meant for each other

    She is a cow

    I am a bull

    And at bed when she's turn on

    By another name call me

    But there's a easy explanation:

    The my name is Dejair

    Easy to confuse

    With João do Caminhão (John of the truck)

    So see how it is

    The ingratitude of a woman

    She is my treasure

    We were meant for each other

    She is a cow

    I am a bull
