Mirror Lyrics Translation – Leo Ieiri
The lyrics describe a moment of vulnerability: ‘The darkness beyond the mirror is still, painfully cold, but the tracks of these spilling tears are hot, burning hot.’ Leo Ieiri uses the mirror as a metaphor for self-reflection, capturing the tension between isolation and the desire to connect.
Sagashimotometa kotae wa dokoWhere is the answer I’ve been searching for?
Kireigoto dake ja dou ni mo sukuwarenai kedoEmpty pleasantries alone can’t save me, though.
Boku wa dare de kimi wa dare deWho am I, and who are you,
Senaka awase de uzukumatta yoruas we crouched back-to-back that night?
Kagami goshi no kurayami wa madaThe darkness beyond the mirror is still,
Itai hodo tsumetakute demopainfully cold, but…
Kobore ochiru namida no ato wa atsuku atsukuthe tracks of these spilling tears are hot, burning hot.
Kono kodoku wo irodzuketeAdd color to this loneliness,
Shinjitain da kimi no kotobecause I want to believe in you.
Sono hitomi ga utsusu boku wa mae wo miteruThe ‘me’ reflected in those eyes is looking ahead,

Namae mo nai you na wasuremono hibi no sokoLike a nameless lost item at the bottom of these days,
Onaji basho kara hai dasenai kedoI can’t crawl out of the same place, but…
Todoiteru no kikoeteru noIs it reaching you? Can you hear it?
Nageyari na mama iki wo hisometeruI hold my breath, still in despair.
