- The Path to Weissolation, amiright? Heh, sorry.
Sorry I didn't do a livestream for this one. My work today got pushed back a bit, giving me time to do this lyric video, but there's construction going on in my backyard, so I wouldn't be able to do a stream without there being really obnoxiously loud noise in the background.

Hey everybody, I wanted to share an explanation that Casey gave about the lyrics “Scars that cover wounds can’t hide the self-inflicted pain.” These are purely metaphorical “scars.” Weiss is referencing the pain she experiences mentally, not physically! I hope this clears everything up for everybody that is worried Weiss self-harmed.
Oh sweet lord thank you for clearing this stuff up i've been stressing over that fact for weeks now
Yeah I think the fandom jumped to conclusions on that one.
FlyntofRWBY I 'm happy that Weiss is not self harming but no one will be able to convince me that a life Weiss had to endure would not cause depression or at the very least borderline personality disorder in a TEENAGER.
The fact that people immediately jumped to the literal interpretation is somewhat telling.
It's called interpretation. For the most part it's her own fault for where she ends up and she blames it on herself. So that's her scar that cover her wounds and she thinks it's all self inflicted.
However it could mean bodily harm, which is a serious topics that may or may not be explored.
Like any art it's also meant to be interpretated in one's own way.
So yes it could mean she did cut (maybe legs or stomach area).Or it means she didn't. All up the listener. They obviously won't explore that as they won't take rwby to that dark of a show as the writers are soft on those controversial topics
Can’t be a Weiss song without starting with a sad piano then getting some kickass drums and guitar at the end.
Int Gogeta can't be a Weiss song without a reference to or talking to a mirror
True that
yessssss
I think It's My Turn is the exception
Can’t be a Weiss song without dissing her Dad
"Scars that cover wounds can't hide the self inflicted pain." Okay so I know this isn't about self harm but *Damn that hit me in the feels*
What’s it referring to?
@@shadowspector3611
Self inflicted pain doesn't always mean physical harm. Mental, spiritual, and emotional anguish can be just as destructive. And it's dastardly because it doesn't leave noticeable scars, but the person is badly wounded nonetheless. Physical wounds heal by themselves, that what the body does, but mental, spiritual, and emotional wounds have to be overcome with strength and willpower, but some people see that as impossible and remain in that depressed state. They know it's killing them on the inside, but they can't see a reason to get out of it. It almost feels like you're a ship lost in a storm with no chart or compass. You have the rudder in your hand, and you know you have the ability to steer out of it, but without a clear course to steer towards you can't find the strength or will to do it. And so you just remain adrift, lost in the storm until, eventually, it becomes too late and you sink into the despair. Whether you sink or sail depends on you, and whether or not you have the will and determination to sail out of the storm and turmoil and make for the clear waters beyond.
As someone who struggles with self harm those lines hit hard
@@shadowspector3611it's probably not talking about physical scars but mental/emotional.
I think this explains why Weiss was such a jerk in season one. All she knew was hate and bitterness, and that's what came out of her. She didn't know right from wrong, and Ruby helped her get through her hard times.
You're definitely not wrong, to me at least, this song feels like it's (for lack of a better word) "set" after the Fall of Beacon and Weiss has been dragged back to Atlas against her will, basically, after finally beginning to find her true self for the first time and moving beyond the caricature Jacques and Atlas society tried to mold her into...only to then be forced *back* into that situation scenario again and having to deal with the resulting pressures trying to force her back into that mold she's only just started to break away from.
I think this also explains why she was against John ( I can't spell his name) so much during the first few episodes, because he knew who Weiss was, but Pyrah? Nope, don't know who the hell you are, but nice to meet you. Combine this with Weiss story regarding her parents and it makes complete sense why she outright rejected him at each turn.
I always say that Ruby is the little sister that Weiss needed/ wanted when she was growing up. The friendship between Ruby and Weiss is pure joy, it’s what made Weiss her own person and why she’s my favorite character
I love how most of Weiss songs start out sounding fancy and probably one of those songs she’d sing for the rich class of Atlas but then they evolve into a punk song
Weiss gets all the best themes. It's only natural, she has the best story material.
The line from mirror mirror “I’m the loneliest of all”, line from this life is mine “a part of me that’s scared I might be wrong. That I can’t be strong”, and this song “looking in the mirror, I see someone that I don’t recognize.” Really show how Weiss doesn’t have an easy life, especially her past. All she could do is stay strong and forget about all the trouble her family causes. Once you think of it, she really was the loneliest. Her father only cared about himself and the SDC, her mother would always be alone and drinking, Winter is always busy with huntress stuff and she isn’t really the company type unless you want to be criticized, and Whitely just wants to follow his father’s footsteps so that just leaves Weiss, alone, and it’s very sad....
She still has Klein. Klein best boy
I haven't listened to this song in a couple years. It hurts so bad but I love it. This song describes what I'm going through right now. I feel so isolated. Hate myself. Nothing I love brings me joy anymore. I've tried so hard to fit in that I don't recognize myself anymore. And this song just encapsulates that so much and this proves to me that I'm not alone, it's not normal to feel like this but it's ok to recognize it and find help. I've started therapy and hopefully the next time I listen to this, it will be a memory of where I was and where I am then.
hang in there
You keep on the struggle mate. Can't let go of yourself or else you'll simply vanish so others can see what they want in you. Recommend beneath the mask from persona 5. Best regards.
Same...
"But every day i'm falling more apart" that hits different
Btw who else is listening to the entire rwby songs while waiting for new volume?
I will never not pop off when "MIRROR WHAT'S THIS THING I SEE?" drops, on GOD bro
Me seeing ppl say this is the darkest RWBY song after years of thinking it was just a really good reflection of that one phase we all have where our very notion of self is destroyed and we consider and sometimes attempt suicide before failing and moving on, as you do
Apparently that’s not normal and I had clinical depression
Man when those drums hit.... gets me every time
Weiss will never give up
Her journey is far from over
A song very on point regarding someone who "survived" through an abusive and or manipulative experience. Very well done.
Ok 3rd favorite RWBY song. Well, any song for Weiss makes me want to cry, not sure why. Probably the piano and the lyrics. Casey did great on this one! My favorite line is “looking in the mirror, I see someone that I don’t recognize.”
I absolutely love this song, mostly because I relate to the lyrics, but also bc it sounds like a battle and the voice acting is so frickin good !
This song is so much more powerful with Ice Queendom as reference. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff and Casey were told about the basics of the plot of the anime all those years ago.
Jeff and Casey have only gotten better. I’m so happy their music has been with us through this whole journey.
"Mirror, help me, who am I?"
"I'm the loneliest of all."
Not the comment section I was expecting to see on such a beautiful song...
If Casey said Weiss doesn't self-harm, then that's that. No doubt she knows the meanings behind these songs better than any of us ever could. But "self-inflicted pain" is always going to resonate with people who've hurt themselves, so of course some people would interpret the line that way.
Some people here got _way_ too offended by the idea of a character having an unhealthy coping mechanism.
Self-harm does come in many forms. Mental, emotional, physical. It's very nuanced, not so black and white. When i first started RWBY as a kid and hated Weiss initially, i realized that it was because i saw a lot of myself in her, a lot of parallels in our stories. I love Weiss now because she's so complex, and despite everything shes been through, she grew around her trauma and grief. I havent watched the most recent volume yet, but i'm gonna rectify that. Anyways; i love Weiss so much and her character because she showed me from a young-ish age that your grief and trauma do lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms sometimes, and that falling into those bad habits don't mean you're weak or a bad person. She showed me that you can overcome your unhealthy coping mechanisms, that trauma and grief don't have to ruin your future happiness too. Your trauma isn't your fault and it's unfair, but you have the tools to learn to live alongside it instead of letting it consume you. So yeah, thats my take on this, sorry for the ramble dhfhdkdh
Oh also, you are so right about the resonating lyrics and people offended by the idea of a character with unhealthy coping mechanisms. I dont know if that stems from the expectations of perfection, but i think its important to see characters who do have unhealthy coping mechanisms and to see them work past them and moving on to healthier ways of coping. Representation matters. You worded it well :)
my boss always wonders why Weiss is my favorite but.. like that character understands my hardships
Imagine this from winter’s point of view after the volume 9 finale..........
hOW DARE YOU
Casey is such a treasure I swear, easily in my top 5
I feel bad for Weiss. She may be a spoiled brat from the beginning but she doesn't deserve this kind of fate.
I often suffer isolation, can hardly make any friends and keep them, all-cause of some unintended mistakes I keep making.
I can relate to everyone she says :(
Everything. Mentally.
im so dumb i just realized the beginning is weiss' reaction to winter leaving the schnee family and name
god this hits hard in the heart. its like it was written for me
Nah cause casey went the fuck off right here @3:27-4:00 . “a stranger to my heart ❤️ has filled MY MIIIIIII NDDDDDDD”
Path To Weissolation
This song definitely relates to the latest episode of RWBY Volume 9. 😢🥀💔
Weiss’ song wasn’t only a story about her… it was for her broken beloved.
Anyone but me think that everything that happened on Weiss’s 10th birthday was a direct result of Nick Schnee’s death? Like after Nick died Jacques didn’t even need to pretend to be a loving family man anymore because there was no one around to take the company from him anymore so he just let his true colors show at the first available opportunity. I think “Liars and pretenders only seek to reach their ends” may partially be referring to Jacques
Honestly while this is a Weiss, song, this is a song that actually works for Ironwood as well. From how he was at the start of the volume to how he was at the end of vol 8.
This song really hits hard.... Guess I can relate to Weiss in some ways
I could have sworn this had more likes when I first saw and listened to this video.
Casey is most at home when she sings Weiss songs. Iunno why, but I can just get the feel essence of Casey in Weiss, probably cuz Weiss is also a singer in the series.
Weiss is definitely my favorite character.
when i think about weiss, i picture her as elsa
I’ve never related more to a song
This song has a lot of parallels to ironwood, I wounder if wise could be the one to reach out and finally get him back to normal.
How I feel right now is the slow part of this song
It starts
With the unexpected loss of something dear
The warmth
That comforted and cradled just disappears
And in its place, there's nothing
Just an endless empty hole
The light that showed the way is gone
And darkness takes control
Bitterness and anger are quick to fill the void
The path to isolation is littered with the dreams that lay destroyed
The cold
Seems to grow in my soul, it's consuming me
Confused
And I'm losing myself in a storm
Growing jaded
Being pushed, being pulled, I'm unraveling
Can't find myself when I'm constantly forced to conform
Enemies surround me
But the worst appear as friends
Liars and pretenders
Only seek to reach their ends
Everything is breaking
Right before my eyes
Looking in the mirror
I see someone that I don't recognize
The joy
That my heart used to know is eluding me
Removed
And the one thing I feel is alone
Smiles faded
And I'm spinning and sinking and weakening
Frozen and stuck
Too lonely, it chills to the bone
Memories escaping as my heart begins to drain
Scars that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted pain
Everything my mind wants in conflict with my heart
Fighting back surrender, but every day I'm falling more apart
Mirror, what's this thing I see?
Who is staring back at me?
This stranger to my heart that's filled my life
Mirror help me, who am I?
Welp ruby stole the song for herself
That’s what I was also saying. 😭

The Psycho Gammer Girl aw thank :D
Blizzic Ill be looking foward to your vids my dude
This Life is Mine completely flipped my opinion on her character. At the beginning I considered her the least likeable of the protagonists, but now I consider her equal to everyone else.
She hasn't had one bad song, love all her songs. She also has the most growth out of the entire cast and is easily the best of the main girls.

3:07 is the best part
The feeling you get, when a character's song connects deeply with you on so many levels that you see yourself in that character's place and feel their pain as if it's your own.
YAY SOMEONE RELATABLE! yay... boop

Let's be honest Weiss always get's the best songs.
Best songs for best girl? Sounds good to me😊
And yang always gets the badass songs
For me is Emotional Song from Weiss, but I related that her Song, she my Favorite Character since when 1st time I watch RWBY and she my best songs in RWBY
I May Fall, BMBlB, Not Fall In Love With You, Divide, Like Morning Follows Night, This Time, and Be Strong and Hit Stuff would like to know your location.
Even if it doesn't top This Life is Mine, it's still such a fantastic song. I think I'm addicted to Weiss's songs by now XD
ThatKaitoDan it's impossible not to be
I prefer Yang's songs
ThatKaitoDan If not for the second half, this easily would have been my favorite Weiss song, though it is still my favorite trailer song, even with the second half being shaky and initially difficult to follow. The drums and guitar were rather unnecessary and I'll prolly just listen to the trailer version, which is the first half and the part at the end sand the extra instruments. I do still like the song overall tho.
I'm not your pet, not another thing you own
ThatKaitoDan I am addicted to Weiss's songs too
Weiss songs are just the best
What else do you expect from the Best Girl? ;)
simplegirl265 Weiss songs are best songs because Weiss is best girl

Songs!
Seriously, these songs fit *so well* like, the vocals in the beginning are more ghostly than most of her songs, except Mirror Mirror, which fits chronologically too seeing as this was her before she went to beacon. And as her songs progress it goes from “Why am I like this” to “Why are you/others like this” and it shows her gaining more confidence in herself. It totally works that most of her progression as a character happens in the songs because she is a singer, it’s all just so genius. I wrote way too much for this... and I could write more. I’m a musical theater nerd I’m all about these meanings in the music, sorry
Soul of Memes Yes it works for her.
Praise be to Casey Lee!
Hey music be doing miracles sometimes
I love how the songs explore that Weiss is looking in the mirror throughout most of the series, but what she sees in there is constantly changing.
As i look at the lyrics...it shows perfectly how you feel when you're suffering from depression. You don't even recognize yourself in the mirror because of how empty you feel. Part with conflict also cilcks. Most people that suffer from depression do have a conflict between giving up or trying to fight back. My conclusion? Weiss may be either suffering from depression and be really good at hiding it from her team or the song is targeted towards people who are depressed to let them know that they have hope?
I know i sound like an idiot.
As someone who just got back from a psychiatrist with a depression diagnosis, I'd say pretty much the same thing.
angeldude101 I will not even try to argue. Let it be your way.
Umm... I agreed with you.
angeldude101 Oooohh... Sorry for sounding like an idiot then...i am just expecting everytime i write a comment to be corrected because something was wrong in my comment. It's just a habit by now...
I've been struggling with depression for the past 8 to 10 years, I'd say that Weiss has juste become very good at hiding her depression, like me. Her familial environement was a perfect combination of all factors, resulting in low confidence that you hide by looking over-confident everytime you can, low self esteem that you compensate for by trying to alwas be the best at everything you do, and obviously a depression that's been here for so long that you can't even know what is yourself and what is caused by the depression. There were some days I was afraid to loose my depression cause I felt like without it I would just be an empty shell. That's the "A stranger to my heart has filled my mind" part. If the depression was here long enough and no one seemed to care in her family, she probably have made herself a "facade personnality" that deals with the world an make her look "normal" while fighting her inner battles by herself.
So now the order is:
The Path to Isolation
Mirror Mirror
Mirror Mirror pt. 2
This Life is Mine
It's My Turn
Did I miss anything? Any objections?
Renee Salinas i'd say it's my turn before this life is mine? At the end of this life is mine it sounds like she's definitely gone, while it's my turn it sounds like she took her decision.
Or in a way, this life is mine is a summary of all this, it shows her evolution. It begins with the pain, then the hesitation, then she opens her eyes, takes her decision, and finally becomes herself and goes her own way, showing how much she hates her father. So I'd put the "summary" ( i dont like the word summary for a song so incredible, but i cant find a better one...you see what i mean) after it's my turn.
What do you think?
Nalo Interesting way of looking at it, but I've always seen This Life is Mine & It's My Turn as the independence song and confrontation song respectively. Like, in TLiM, Weiss has finally broken away after she gets the idea in MMpt2. But in IMT, she's already independent and finally telling Jacques off.
I suppose they could be seen as interchangeable though, seeing as they both give Jacques the middle finger and the only real difference is that It's My Turn isn't a "Mirror Mirror" song. Either way, they're all friggin amazing songs!
Personally I think This Life is Mine comes after It’s My Turn because in This Life is Mine is her *directly* saying these things to her father (and with that I mean she’s actually singing it.) Even if It’s My Turn could theoretically come after This Life is Mine, storywise it wouldn’t make sense.
On a side note in It’s My Turn Weiss says: ‘the day I’ve waited for is drawing near’ indicating this is direct build up to This Life is Mine
But that’s just the way how I see it. These songs pretty much walk hand-in-hand.
That moment when you realize Weiss could have her own soundtrack and it might be longer than the actual soundtracks
@@InsertEgoHere Seriously! While everyone has their own songs throughout the various volumes, Weiss' have been telling a story the entire time.
“Enemies surround me but the worst appear as friends
Liars and pretenders only seek to reach their ends
I wonder if she could be talking about her brother... I wonder if they were close at some point
Also various suitors she's been implied to have met, which is why she brushes off Jaune's advances -- she thinks he just wants the family name, and more importantly the family money.
This likely is influenced by her family, namely father and brother, along with other people she's met like Henry. It starts out that this is the case, but after long enough, it turns into paranoia as you start assuming _everyone_ is like this. True friendships become almost impossible to form since you're always just waiting for them to betray you even if they never do.
@@micah6772 um what speak for yourself jaune is good boy 😏
@@micah6772 I've seen many people say they loved Jaune idk where your hate for him is coming from 💔
@@micah6772 lmao HUH? Were we watching the same show here? Jaune was way worse in volume 1. He's a MAIN character, of course he's gonna take screen time.
He has in fact improved on character development since volume 1. When he was first introduced, he was nothing but a boy who faked his way into beacon with little to no combat skills whatsoever. The whole reason why he became stronger was because of Pyrrah. He's important to the storyline just as much as team RWBY is. He's meant to be a strategist, not a fighter, yet he can still hold up on his own.
Please explain to me how the episode with the Pyrrah statue made him a progressively "worse character."
Let's just take a moment of silence for the replay button cuz I'm about to put it through a lot of pain and torture

It's beautiful how Weiss is steadily becoming my favourite character only through her songs.
Weiss is probably the most relatable character, she got the best character development and overall feels like the most heroic and selfless of the four.
I've been waiting nearly 10 months for this. I am not disappointed.
Poor Weiss. I just wanna give her a giant hug. She needs it.
Welp time to listen to this for a hour.
サーベルCelestal lol
How unpleasant...actualy it's pleasant.
That one dislike is Weiss’s father. 😹😹😹😹
Edit: I see a lot of people thinking about the ‘self-inflicted pain’ and I think Weiss is talking about the fact that she let herself obey her father so she could keep her title as heiress or because she just didn’t want to be met with her father since it’s clear that she doesn’t like her father at all.
I'm not Crying!
You Are!

It starts with the unexpected loss
Of something dear
The warmth that comforted and cradled
Just disappears
And in it's place there's nothing
Just an endless empty hole
The light that showed the way is gone
And darkness takes control
Bitterness and anger
Are quick to fill the void
The path to isolation
Is littered with the dreams that lay destroyed
The cold
Seems to grow in my soul
It's consuming me
Confused
And I'm losing myself in the storm?
Growing jaded
Being pushed, being pulled

Everything is breaking
Right before my eyes
Looking in the mirror
I see someone that I don't recognize
The joy that my heart used to know is eluding me
Removed and the one thing I feel is alone
Smiles faded and I’m spinning, sinking, awakening
Frozen in solitude, loneliness chills to the bone
Memories escaping as my heart begins to drain
Scars that cover wounds can’t hide the self-inflicted pain
Everything my mind wants, in conflict with my heart
Fighting back forever, but everyday I’m falling more apart

Who is staring back at me?
A stranger to my heart has filled my mind!

WE NEED THIS PINNED
What is it that was so dear that she lost? When I listen I think that it’s maybe her mother kinda removing herself and becoming an alcoholic. I feel like this song is like a prequel to the other mirror mirror songs since the lyrics sound like they’re saying that the person she was at the beginning of the show or before she went to Beacon wasn’t the real her.
gamefisher Jeff confirmed a while back when the Weiss v5 short came out that it’s basically Mirror Mirror 0.5.
I'm thinking it's either her mother falling at the bottom of a bottle or her sister leaving the house. I'm assuming these two people were the dearest to her heart and she lost both of them in a way.
gamefisher her friends
I always thought it was more non real things if that makes sense. Like She lost her self respect, her family name and other things because of her father. She was likely friends with people but then found out that they were using her from the lyrics about people pretending to be friends, plus her mother hitting rock bottom by drinking, finding out that her father married her mother only because of her name ect extra.
I was thinking it was about family in general. In the beginning she gives descriptions on what her family used to be like: warmth, comfort, etc.. all of that disappeared. There was a time that there is some family get together until something happened. Like the family dinner Weiss talked about, or it could be something else. After that, there's no love that could fill the void between such distant family members. A place where Weiss can call home.
Her voice is getting so strong, it’s amazing to hear how much it grows over the years
I know it seems like it’s a rule that there must be a Weiss song in every volume, but damn, this continues to deepen my love her for her more and more.

I assume this song takes place before This Life is Mine in the story's chronology.
Ali BabaAhmed I wouldn't be surprised if it came before even Mirror Mirror pt.1. In this one, Weiss is still kinda shocked at what she's becoming, but in Mirror Mirror, she comes off as already content to me.
This is "Mirror Mirror Part 0.5"
It's like the 'prologue', for say, of the Weiss arc. It's about how she deteriorates mentally, probably due to her mother withdrawing and her father forcing his control over her. She starts questioning herself and shows more self doubt and unconfidence as the song progresses.
It's before volume 1, before even the initial White trailer.
Otherwise, it COMPLETELY negates the line "Mirror Mirror now we're DONE" in This Life is Mine, so I agree.
Exactly everything in weiss's song that Jeff Williams composes. Is everything that goes on in my mind and heart. I'm 17 now, I've been listening since I was 11. Ever since "red like roses" came out. I don't know how to explain everything to my parents if it weren't for his songs. I thank him for everything. His talent, beauty, passion, and loyalty. I don't know where I would be.
This OST is phenomenal!
Can we real quick appreciate how far Weiss has come in her character growth? Jeff and Casey did an amazing job conveying this through sound. Just listening to her songs from The Path to Isolation to This Life is Mine is enough to show how much better she is as a person to others, to herself. Amazing job Rooster Teeth for writing such a great character and Jeff and Casey for telling her story in song.
Man, every time I hear a new RWBY song I just have to drop everything I'm doing for the day, keep listening to the new ones even if I didn't mean to, and keep listening to it for A WHILE.
I mean already heard this one, but not the FULL version, I'm now shook in the literal sense tbh.
Welp, when I first started watching RWBY, I'd never have guessed Weiss would be the character I'd relate to the most... but well...
Awesome song!
This song gives me... Chills...

Sanity? The hell is that? There’s only RWBY
I assume this "sanity" thing is also a gun.
Bruh Weiss and yang songs are always the best
I had an aneurism when I saw this. This is my favorite song of the Volume 5 soundtrack.
And the essentials for my RWBY RUclips playlist are all here!
ppl say that this life is mine is still better but idk, i think i like this song more? i remember listening to this when the trailer first came out, and months later, the soundtrack was released, and i still remember the lyrics of the parts from the trailer perfectly
Well Done Flynn XD love the way you edit these RWBY Music lyrics lol , Keep Going 😆
That’s what he should change his name to. FlyntXD
Little _Abra360 That's the point. He meant the lyrics' syncronization and chosen fan-arts.
I wonder when volume 6 will come out.
Edit: Comes out in November
Another Edit: Comes out on October 27 NOW as of what I heard. Also, because of RUclips these days, RWBY will only shown on the RoosterTeeth website.
Pyrrha Nikos October, unless they change it for some reason.
I believe it’s November now. I wish they’d take a year to really flesh out the show more, instead of rushing deadlines. Vol 5 was just a rushed disaster of animations and story
Hard_ Living Yeah, it comes out in November. Ur right. I just watched a RWBY video about when it will come out.
PYRRAH YOU'RE ALIVE!! how's life In The after life been?
Alex Stark Lol It's been nice. Seeing Jaune able to activate his semblance makes me proud. XD
I love when they combine a little of rock with that classic vibe. So damn good
FINALLY. Now I don’t have to listen to battle sound effects in the trailer! YAAAS.
Lmao I was just listening to the short version then this came out. Great timing I must say
"The Path to Weissolation" gg
GODDAMMIT BARBARA
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
This song is quickly becoming my favorite Rwby song as well as Ignite. Thanks Flynt for uploading :)
Flynt.
Ive always found weiss's songs sort of therapeutic and relaxing. Despite being very fast and sort of upbeat, i can still relax and fall asleep to it. Its very odd, and i dont know why.
This is definitely the darkest RWBY song. None of the edgier songs come CLOSE to hitting the things in Path to Isolation.
Chiaki Nanameme I mean....it implies a loss of identity, self pain, near suicidal thoughts....of course it's the darkest. What makes it so dark is that it's EXTREMELY subtle however.
Logan The Beastly Shogun I agree with the loss of identity (of course) and the self-pain but I can't see the suicidal thoughts... Was it something specific she said ?
Chiaki Nanameme And yup I agree but to me Bad Luck Charm is a close 2nd.
Logan The Beastly Shogun Never mind I didnt hear the "scars that cover wounds can't hide the self-inflicted pain" the first time, shame on me 😅
Though I'm not certain this has to be understood litteraly. Maybe it's because the way she act and the way she is are conflicted and that is destroying her.
Ludmila Champagne That is definitely true. Although many people are stating that she's been wearing long sleeves for quite some time now. I highly doubt this took place in the series,but perhaps before the battle with the Knight?
Though with how many of the Mirror Mirror songs are littered with symbolism,I can definitely see why it might not be literal. Honestly,this song tells me that Weiss is still not telling us something. It's just too suspicious for a song like this to be released after This Life Is Mine took care of this specific part of her character arc.
"A stranger to my heart has filled my mind." -That's pretty deep man.
I like how all of Weiss' songs talk about a mirror.
Considering that her fairy tale motif is Snow White, it's appropriate.
Weissolation intensifies
Honestly, this song (for me, at least) applies to anyone struggling with depression. This song has powerful and poignant lyrics that capture the experience of living with depression.
So pretty!! The art is fantastic too
This is the one song in Volume V that I needed to have the full song for! Thank you Flynt!
