Spiegelbild

Mayberg's song 'Spiegelbild,' which translates to 'Mirror Image' in English, delves into the introspective and often painful process of self-examination. The recurring lines about looking into the mirror and realizing that nothing is as desired, encapsulate a profound sense of dissatisfaction and self-critique. This theme is a central pillar of the song, reflecting a universal struggle with self-identity and the gap between who we are and who we wish to be.

The lyrics reveal the artist's personal vulnerabilities and fears, such as the difficulty in social situations and the tendency to self-isolate. These confessions make 'Spiegelbild' not just a song, but a confession booth where inner demons and insecurities are laid bare. The mention of being thankful for having enough to live, yet acknowledging others' hardships, adds a layer of gratefulness mixed with guilt, highlighting the complex emotions involved in examining one's life.

Moreover, the song touches on the influence of external opinions and the struggle to listen to one's own voice amidst the noise. This is particularly poignant in the lines about always listening to others rather than oneself. 'Spiegelbild' serves as a mirror not just for the artist, but for the listeners as well, encouraging a reflective look at one's own life and the external and internal voices that shape it.
