I've already post this on my Tumblr, but it won't hurt to post it here either. Here's my analysis of Mirror Mirror and possible Weiss's storyline.

Warning: This might make your feel goes everywhere so get a lot of tissues and hold onto your dear life.

Intro

Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or form or measure. And all of it… irreplaceable.

Sorrow and pain is something that no one can avoid. It follows everyone from the moment they were born until they breath their last breathe. And it’s not something that anyone can move away from easily. It is shown that the pain and sorrow has been following Weiss ever since she was in her younger years..

Mirror, tell me something.

Tell me who’s the loneliest of all.

In Snow White and the seven Dwarf, the mirror belongs to the Queen is a magic mirror with a personality on it’s own. However, the mirror Weiss kept mentioning over and over isn’t a magic one. In fact, she wasn’t asking the mirror, at all. Weiss was asking her own reflection inside that mirror. The way she repeated it, it is clear to us that she was asking, questioning herself.

“Who’s the loneliest of all ?”

I believe that you’ve all heard that “Alone doesn’t mean lonely”. But does lonely mean alone ? Maybe, but not in this situation. At the beginning of the trailer, Weiss was standing in front of hundreds, maybe thousand, of people, cheering for her. However, she still stated she’s “the loneliest of all”, meaning that none of them truly understand her.

Mirror, locked inside of me.

Tell me can my heart be turned to stone?

“Locked inside of me” At this point, it is clear that she has been questioning herself in the entire song.

“My heart be turned to stone ?” This is the only question in the entire song. Weiss was confused, unsure if she has ‘a heart of stone’, or  we could put it this way, ‘heartless’. Along with the intro, it’s clear to us that she had done something in that past that scarred her heart.

Mirror mirror what’s behind you?

Save me from the things I see!

I can’t keep it from the world,

why won’t you let me hide from me?

“What’s behind you ?” Weiss feared that even the mirror, her own reflection might turn it’s back on her. At this point, she pleaded to be saved, from ‘the thing I see’ - the people who doesn’t understand her ? Her past ?

“I can’t keep it from the world” She feared that the world may find out her mistake. And lastly:

“Why won’t you let me hide from me ?” Everything is cleared by now: Weiss had done something, that she couldn’t forgive herself, from the past, that she feared that world would find out, and then turned their back on her. At the moment, her only wish is to run away from herself.

I’m the loneliest of all…

Her statement. Weiss has known it all along, and this statement at the end of the song tell us that she couldn’t run away from the reality anymore…
