Strife

In their song "MIRROR MAN," the German metal band MANDELBAUM explores the German folklore of the doppelgänger. The band, though German, primarily sings in English, using "Spiegelmann" to delve into the haunting duality of the mirror image, a sinister reflection of oneself. The song's heavy soundscape and intense lyrics create a chilling narrative of a protagonist confronted by a malevolent doppelgänger, forcing a confrontation with their inner demons and fragmented identity.

LYRICS:
Spiegelmann...  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers…  

I see you in the silver glass  
Your eyes are mine
Your breath will pass  
Two hearts in one
But one must die  
The shadow smiles
I can’t deny  

Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
Two in one
One in two  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
I am me — 
And I am you  

Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
Two in one
One in two  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
I am me — 
And I am you  

You move when I move
Step for step  
A mirror dance I can’t forget  

Your voice inside
My mind obeys  
My thoughts decay in twisted ways  

Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
Two in one
One in two  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
I am me — 
And I am you  

Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
Two in one
One in two  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
I am me — 
And I am you  

Spiegelmann... mein Feind
Mein Freund  
Psychose brennt — 
Die Wahrheit träumt  

Your hands are cold
Your smile is wide  
You pull me through the other side  

Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
Two in one
One in two  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
I am me — 
And I am you  

Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
Two in one
One in two  
Die Dualität des Doppelgängers  
I am me — 
And I am you  

Spiegelmann…  
Mein Gesicht…  
Mein Grab…

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
