Song Meaning of “Wenn ich dein Spiegel wär” by Jubiläumscast Wien 2012
“Wenn ich dein Spiegel wär” is an emotional ballad by Jubiläumscast Wien 2012 that reflects on the joys and difficulties of relationships – both romantic and platonic. In the song, the narrator conveys a deep longing to be the person who reflects back all of another’s emotions in order to better know and fully understand them.
The narrator opens with a wish to “become a mirror” for the person they care for, to be able to show an accurate reflection of the other. He/she wishes to see the true secrets, struggles, and strengths of life that lay beneath the surface – wanting to be the one that the other looks into for comfort and strength.
The chorus goes on to convey the idea that by being so fully connected, the narrator would also become so deeply intertwined with the person, their hopes, fears, and joys. The narrator reflects on the idea of having the ability to share in the other persons pain, but also in their joys, so that they may better comprehend one another and share in the fullness of life.
Ultimately the song reflects on the power of understanding and being deeply connected to another person. In the chorus, the narrator puts it best with the plea: “If I were your mirror, feel, love, and understand, and grasp each other until the end”.
