Mirage (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
It’s late at night, everything’s still lit up, and emotions are running high. There’s a mix of pride, longing, and regret all crossing paths. The rain makes it hard to see clearly, like life’s blurred. Neon lights cut through the dark, reflecting sadness. The speaker doesn’t want to wake up or face reality just yet. Time keeps pushing people apart, whether they want it or not.

[Chorus]
The other person seems tired of everything and says goodbye with no emotion. Just when it feels like things might work out, it turns out to be nothing—just an illusion. There’s a deep desire to go back to a past moment of closeness. Pride has already been thrown aside. The speaker knows how quickly things can go wrong. The night doesn’t last long, and even though their lighter’s out of fuel, something still flickers from the past.

[Verse 1]
The speaker hesitates, reminding themselves they have a family and responsibilities, like they’re trying to hold on to reality. But even before they could lie or escape, the other person was already too close. There’s a sense of routine—coming back to this same messy situation again, humming through it like nothing’s wrong. The other person is being selfish, and it feels like this unhealthy pattern has been repeating for decades. The speaker feels stuck between two choices: a warm, safe life or the pull of something dark and tempting. There’s pressure to keep performing, writing, singing—feeding others’ expectations while feeling lost.

[Pre-Chorus]
The future’s slipping away exactly as expected, but at this point, the speaker doesn’t care. They’re caught in the moment, and even though it’s messy, they can’t stop now.

[Chorus]
Again, the other person seems done, saying goodnight like they’ve given up. Just when it feels like they’re close, it all fades—it was never real. There’s a deep urge to reconnect with how things used to be. Pride is no longer in the way. Mistakes happen fast, and the night is short. A lighter without gas still sparks something symbolic, like how this whole situation came to be.

[Verse 2]
Once emotions run wild, things spiral quickly. The speaker compares it to a wild, animal-like hunger. When morning comes, everything falls apart like vampires vanishing with daylight. It’s dramatic and chaotic, and once it’s done, there’s nothing left but to shut the coffin on what happened—no going back.

[Verse 3]
Even if the other person isn’t fully gone, the speaker decides to walk away and say goodbye for good. There’s a finality to it—they’re not meeting again. After this last expression, this last bit of writing, they’ll move on. Still, there’s a sense of emotional intimacy, almost like writing on the other person’s skin. Afterward, they return to their everyday life, pretending everything’s normal, while secretly carrying the marks of this hidden, haunting experience.

[Chorus]
That tired, dismissive goodbye comes again. Just when there’s hope, it turns out to be a mirage—nothing real. The speaker longs for the touch from that one meaningful day. They’ve already let go of their pride. Everything can fall apart in a flash. The night is short, but somehow, even an empty lighter gives off a tiny bit of spark, like a reminder of how they ended up here.
