Music review: Gackt - Mirror
Artist: Gackt Album: Mars Release date: 4/26/00 Video link: On YouTube
English translation by Mina-P: You're never around during the crucial times You're not sure what's important to you Someone's sick of you
You only chase after novelties "Where did those good old days go!!" You have no right to lament things like that
Reflected in your eyes, my face doesn't return anything From the beginning you must have known...
Rush down underneath these heavens By yourself... I wonder if your arms can catch my fostered body
"I'll save the things I believe in" you say The angels are good at excuses with their nonsense, but god's also good at lying
Reflected in my eyes, your tears are all phony In the end I knew you must be smiling...
Embrace each other underneath these heavens The two of us... Your voice shouts, like it's reaching out to my broken heart... And then Hold me tighter
In order to get something, you have to lose something and someone will be hurt
Fall in love underneath these heavens Just a little bit... Because your voice lit a fire in my shyness
Because if these great emotions don't reach out Courageously... Your finger will strike the last blow to my shattered heart About the song: I love this song. It's extremely upbeat and it tells people to GO for what you want. Stop whining about things that happened in the past, look forward and find what it is that you want in life. It's a little annoying when Gackt performs this song because he always stops in the middle to yell with the audience. He runs and jumps around for the beginning of the song so I guess he gets tired and that is the closest he gets to a break. At least he looks like he's having fun performing it. I recommend this song to everyone. It's great to listen to when you're feeling a little down about life or even when you're happy and just want to listen to an awesome song.
