Guitarist Michael Amott comments: “Musically, this is an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a while, and finally it got finished. It all started with the guitar motif that kicks off the track, which naturally leads to the galloping 80’s-metal feel of the verses. As is always the case with us, we had quite a few different arrangements and demos of this song until it was, dare I say, fckn perfect!”

 

Front-woman Alissa White-Gluz adds: “‘House of Mirrors’ is a song that twists its way into the human psyche. I wrote the lyrics during a dark time of strict, dystopian lockdown, and I think people will be able to relate to that feeling of being totally alone – but never truly alone – when you are surrounded only by past and future versions of yourself as company.”

“House Of Mirrors”

See the choice, it lies before you

A simple flick of the wrist

Blank doors keep the world at bay

Or do they keep the outside in?

What geometry lies beyond?

A familiar façade, keys in locks

Unhinge the future

Shut out the past

Winners and losers

Fiction and fact

Renegade are reflections made across a sharpened blade

In a house of mirrors you’re never alone

Welcome home!

To open is to invite the unknown

In to flood your once square home

The walls silently watch you

Are you watching them back?

Windows to the souls surround you

What escapes when those panes crack?

Unhinge the future

Shut out the past

Winners and losers

Fiction and fact

Renegade are reflections made across a sharpened blade

In a house of mirrors you’re never alone

Welcome home!

Suspicious simulacra distort your flesh and bone

In a house of mirrors you’re never alone

You’ll run

You’ll hide

Or try to

But we all

Reside

Inside you

Renegade are reflections made across a sharpened blade

In a house of mirrors you’re never alone

Welcome home!

Suspicious simulacra distort your flesh and bone

In a house of mirrors you’re never alone

Welcome home!
