about

The song is basically about having a conversation with yourself.
Talking and trying to reason with the "dark" part of yourself, which is mentioned in the lyrics as "you".
The person which is mentioned as "I" is the reasonable side of the person.
"I" is getting progressively more like the dark side of the person as the song goes on, letting frustration and sadness take the place of hope and happiness.

lyrics

You won't let me past
So give up those who let lies
Deepen the sorrow

That I know your past
Has let me live by your side
Let's open our eyes

I guess I have nothing to say
But you see something to hate
I hate that I'll stay the same
But you left something for fate
But I got something to say
And I got something to hate

Smoke and mirrors
Has lead you astray
As every single second
Has something to say
It has left me with faith
It has left me with hate
As every single second
Has something to say

I guess I have nothing to say
But you see something to hate
I hate that I'll stay the same
But you left something for fate
But I got something to say
And I got something too

But I guess you're not to blame
But I guess I'll walk right through the flames
I want that feeling again
I'm feeling hopeless again
So let me in
And I'll show you the void that you left

Smoke and mirrors
That's all it is
Smoke and mirrors

I guess I have nothing to say
But you see something to hate
I hate that I'll stay the same
But you left something for fate
But I got something to say
(So let me in)
And I got something to hate
