Black Mirror – English Lyrics

• By: Arcade Fire

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I walked down to the ocean

After waking from a nightmare

No moon no pale reflection

Black mirror, black mirror

Shot by a security camera

You can't watch your own image

And also look yourself in the eye

Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror

I know a time is coming

All words will lose their meaning

Please show me something that isn't mine

-But mine is the only kind that I relate to

Le miroir casse,

The mirror casts mon reflet partout

...

Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror

...

The black mirror knows no reflection

It knows not pride or vanity

It cares not about your dreams

It cares not for your pyramid schemes

Their names are never spoken

The curse is never broken

The curse is never broken

Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!

Black mirror!

Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!

Black mirror!

...

Black mirror

Black mirror

Their names are never spoken

The curse is never broken

Their names are never spoken

The curse is never broken

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Show me where them bombs will fall

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Show me where them bombs will fall

Black mirror

Black mirror

Black mirror

Black mirror

Black mirror

Black mirror

Black mirror

...
