He was directly defiant to his father the entire time. This is Weiss' battle cry of "no more". Todoroki never let Endeavour have that in the first place.
Lyrics: Mirror, can you hear me? Do I reach you? Are you even listening? Can I get through? There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes Tired of being treated like a pawn But there’s a part of me that stares back from inside the mirror Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong That I can’t be strong I’ve been afraid, never standing on my own I let you be the keeper of my pride Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own Listen when I say, I swear it here today I will not surrender This life is mine! Amazing how you conquered me, chained me in servility and made me see The world the way you told me to But I was young and didn’t have a way to know the truth Born to live your legacy Existing just to fill your needs, a casualty Of this so-called family that you have turned into a travesty But I don’t intend to suffer any longer Here’s where your dominion falls apart I’m shattering the mirror that kept me split in pieces That stood between my mind and heart This is where I’ll start I’m not your pet Not another thing you own I was not born guilty of your crimes Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore I won’t be possessed Burdened by your royal test I will not surrender This life is mine Shame that it took so long to rescue me From the guilt you used to tie me to your family tree I guess your training failed, you’re not in charge, I’m free Your patriarchal prison won’t hold me Now this conversation’s fin'ly over Mirror, mirror now we’re done I’ve pulled myself together now My mind and heart are one Finally one! I’m not your pet Not another thing you own I was not born guilty of your crimes Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore I won’t be possessed Burdened by your royal test I will not surrender This life is mine!
Was playing a game with this song going and at 3:25 i was like "oh! he's featuring Casey!!" and changed my tabs to the screen and realized it was still him! He sounded almost exactly like her there!!
hot DAYUM do you have some lungs- Like always you did a fantastic job- the emotion you put in your songs is always the best. You make them feel so alive and so much stronger
Chugging water after belting those high notes is a mood as a singer! Incredible job on your head voice it sounds amazing and as someone who sang Soprano 2 in choir its NOT easy! There's so much mentally that can happen when you even doubt for a second that comes out of your voice
This was one of my favourite songs this volume, it’s so powerful, it really shows how Weiss feels, and you’ve captured it brilliantly Caleb! Thank you so much for putting this out, it’s absolutely gorgeousx3
I remember the livestream where I put this song in the playlist and he said he'd cover it. I've been waiting for like, 2 months. This is awesome! Thanks, Caleb!
DAMN CALEB! I was not expecting this to work with a male voice but you made it work excellently! I'm a new subscriber so I didn't know you were a RWBY fan! That's excellent! You should try to do Ignite. You would be AMAZING at that song!
No problem for joining the crew, it's my pleasure! RWBY is a pretty good show but near the end it kind of fizzles out. However, the new season is promised to be excellent and I'm waiting for that! If you want to see a small part of it, when you finish the show search up "Adam Character Short." Keep on singing!
Oh my god. This was amazing. The sheer amount of raw emotion and the complexity of both the song's lyrics and your vocals just match so well it's amazing. I've loved RWBY for the longest time and looking for RWBY covers was exactly how I found you a year or so ago. I'm glad I stuck around long enough to hear this beauty of a masterpiece. This was splendid, Caleb, and I can't wait to hear more from you.
@@TBGHydreigon Nice. But this guy is great though, yeah? He is one of the few people who do covers that throughly enjoy. Imagine if he did a cover of Caffeine? That would be epic.
I personally feel like the White Fang would like this, since she knows her family is horrible, and is trying to break away from them, and also hopes to make things better
I really love his post "I damn near destroyed my voice singing this" reactions. The exhausted look, the throwing things. It's like his adrenaline peaks and he's just got to let something out physically besides his singing
Music is the social act of communication among people, a gesture of friendship, the strongest there is. And you communicate to your audience, your fans, friends or family shows the love that expresses your music. I'm a big fan of your work. Thank you #CalebHyles.
Oh, my gooduhness, this is so cool. The higher notes almost sound like Casey. Don't worry, that is a compliment for both of you. Also, I was imagining this all day with Weiss being at the charity concert and then all of a sudden they throw her a guitar and a microphone and she starts rocking out like Freddie Mercury. Like, all of a sudden, she just rips off her skirt and there're leather pants on. She just ends up wearing a wig and just flings that off. Like, the orchestra lifts up from a trap door and then they turn in their violins and cellos for electric guitars and a drum set. Just imagine what their faces would look like.
I love how this went from the angelic voice of a Disney prince to the death metal screams of a grimm reaper. Get it GRIMM reaper? Cuz you know... Reaping Grimm? ...No?... OUT WITH A YANG! *Runs away*
WOW! This is amazing! Really great job on this one. "This Life Is Mine" has always (since it came out) been my favorite RWBY song. Surprised when I saw this in my subscription feed.
@@joshuaskelton4720 Well he did do "Strike Back" with Japanese lyrics mixed in, so I don't think the fact that it's not in full English deter us from wanting it x'D
How are you doing that?!?? It took me 413 days, 1 hr and 50 seconds to master this song.... Are you sure you're not a Schnee? I mean only a Schnee could pull off something like that. Hahahaha nice cover. Loved it 😀
Dammit Caleb, your voice shattered my windows mid-song i'd appreciate you not doing that Joking of course. This just reminds me I need to catch back up to RWBY, and you did super good here, too. All around nice job.
I saw a link to this on reddit this morning and I got super excited. I love many of your covers, and RWBY is by far my favorite show. This cover was downright incredible.
Totally agree. Both Zuko and Weiss had to live with a legacy they didn't ask for, prejudged by others affected by actions not even their own and had to fight to prove themselves and built their own paths with their chosen families. It's beautiful.
@@joannavelez5179 accept Zuku’s family were actual monsters. Weiss is still doing what she would have been doing, regardless if she left or not. Comparing a pointless story like Weiss’s with an actual one like Zuko’s is really disrespectful to people who ACTUALLY have issues, and aren’t just angry that they’re rich for some reason, idk Weiss just, doesn’t make any sense to me lol like every lyric of this song screams the same entitlement and self righteous attitude that her sister and the rest of her family has; its honestly ironic lol Only the privileged think that “this life is mine” and feel like they can do anything they want regardless of their, and the world’s current situation; that’s called Sociopathy and narcism, and those two qualities are perfectly normal for someone of her birth, just instead of a silver spoon, she was handed a silver sword 🤷♂️
@@skelitonking117 Regardless, the song fits Zuku. It actually fits him even better than Weiss, if I do say so myself. "I am not your pet, not another thing you own. I was not born guilty of your crimes. Your actions and your influence can't hold me anymore. I won't be possessed, burdened by your royal test. I will not surrender, this life is mine!" Everything about that lyrics just fits Zuko's character arc, so even if you don't like how Weiss's character arc was handled, the point still stands, this song could easily be talking about Zuku if we didn't know any better.
from the very first note i was intoxicated by your voice! Great job! And at 3:25 you literally sound like Casey Lee Williams when you hit that high note!!!!!!
I was hoping you'd do more RWBY and here you pick one of my favorites! literally stopped what I was watching to go to this when I saw the notification. So good. So good.
I gotta say I did NOT expect how amazing this was O.O The first half gave me INTENSE Phantom of the Opera vibes (which was fantastic) and then you just... WHOO! holy crap you blew me away.
I gotta admit I was hesitant to listen to this cover because this is one of my favourite rwby songs and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to a male voice but I have to say, well done Caleb you knocked it out of the park I legit had goosebumps for the whole thing, brilliant cover, keep up the good work! Peace! Love! And Metal!
I love how into your songs you get! Shows such passion and talent to understand the lyrics. You have a great voice and should definitely try out for America’s Got Talent. They would love that passion on stage!
Love the song, Caleb! Only, one thing I gotta say. that point around 1:40 where you start the "Woooooaoooooo" reminds me of Metal Gear Solid V when you hit one of Snake's cigars.
I love the small epilogues of staggering away, drinking and commenting on the song that you have in these videos ^^ I know it's exhausting, but your voice is really perfect for covering the RWBY music. You can actually match that high vocal range of Casey's that Jeff wrote the songs for. Awesome work man! Stay wonderful
Oh my gosh dude. I honestly can't tell if you at the end you were just so tired or if the emotion you held whilst singing just overcame you. You're one of my favourite artists, bro.
The pure f*cking emotion in this gets me every time. You put so much heart and spirit into these covers and it really shows each time. Rock on, brother!
I have never.... NEVER stood up for a cover before..... My jaw is open.. My ears are in AWE. I didnt not think any male could sing this song.... let alone to this level..... WOW. just WOW
I'm actually a little surprised that you could sing that high pitched. A very well done on your part, Caleb. I'm glad someone managed to do a good cover of this song. :)
i just came across this after i finally found out there was a full version and listened to that.. i def was not expecting this from a version by a guy.. geezus man! that was fuckiong amazing!! sorry for the swear cause kids, but how you nailed it so well i am just simply amazed!!!
Honestly I love love love this cover, but my one bit of advice for your higher register would be to relax your throat more. I can tell it's painful for you at certain points, and the more you learn to relax your throat and mouth, the less painful it'll be (this coming from an opera soprano). Your voice is truly excellent, I just know how miserable it can be to have a note you really want to hit but that's painful. I love your channel so much and would love to just see you grow and improve!
Man, I love it when we see you tired at the end of your covers. It shows you put HEART into it! Which I can hear and it makes a much bigger difference than any other component of your voice.
DAMN this man has some IMPRESSIVE VOCAL CORDS! I wasn't expecting him to jump the several octaves to Casey's, but I am amazed by how well he hit those notes.
Damn man that was amazing I don't even know a guy's vocals could be that good and I've seen your work with Jonathan but guess I'm subscribing to you too lol
I had to sit for a minute and just embrace all that cause dear God I was completely shook. I WISH I could do this song without cracking notes or literally having to stop mid phrase. You sir are amazing

Lyrics:
Mirror, can you hear me?
Do I reach you?
Are you even listening?
Can I get through?
There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes
Tired of being treated like a pawn
But there’s a part of me that stares back from inside the mirror
Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong
That I can’t be strong
I’ve been afraid, never standing on my own
I let you be the keeper of my pride
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own
Listen when I say, I swear it here today
I will not surrender
This life is mine!
Amazing how you conquered me, chained me in servility and made me see
The world the way you told me to
But I was young and didn’t have a way to know the truth
Born to live your legacy
Existing just to fill your needs, a casualty
Of this so-called family that you have turned into a travesty
But I don’t intend to suffer any longer
Here’s where your dominion falls apart
I’m shattering the mirror that kept me split in pieces
That stood between my mind and heart
This is where I’ll start
I’m not your pet
Not another thing you own
I was not born guilty of your crimes
Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore
I won’t be possessed
Burdened by your royal test
I will not surrender
This life is mine
Shame that it took so long to rescue me
From the guilt you used to tie me to your family tree
I guess your training failed, you’re not in charge, I’m free
Your patriarchal prison won’t hold me
Now this conversation’s fin'ly over
Mirror, mirror now we’re done
I’ve pulled myself together now
My mind and heart are one
Finally one!
I’m not your pet
Not another thing you own
I was not born guilty of your crimes
Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore
I won’t be possessed
Burdened by your royal test
I will not surrender
This life is mine!

Comparing a pointless story like Weiss’s with an actual one like Zuko’s is really disrespectful to people who ACTUALLY have issues, and aren’t just angry that they’re rich for some reason, idk Weiss just, doesn’t make any sense to me lol like every lyric of this song screams the same entitlement and self righteous attitude that her sister and the rest of her family has; its honestly ironic lol Only the privileged think that “this life is mine” and feel like they can do anything they want regardless of their, and the world’s current situation; that’s called Sociopathy and narcism, and those two qualities are perfectly normal for someone of her birth, just instead of a silver spoon, she was handed a silver sword 🤷♂️
@@skelitonking117 Regardless, the song fits Zuku.
It actually fits him even better than Weiss, if I do say so myself.
"I am not your pet, not another thing you own. I was not born guilty of your crimes. Your actions and your influence can't hold me anymore. I won't be possessed, burdened by your royal test. I will not surrender, this life is mine!"
Everything about that lyrics just fits Zuko's character arc, so even if you don't like how Weiss's character arc was handled, the point still stands, this song could easily be talking about Zuku if we didn't know any better.
Are you pissed about something Caleb ? XD
He was probably just getting into the mood for this song.
I PRAY TO THE COVER GODS ABOVE, CALEB, GIVE US THE MALE COVER OF IGNITE!!
YEEEESSSSSSS!!!! NOW DO THE PATH TO ISOLATION, ARMED AND READY, AND IGNITE!!!!
Also, he and Jonathan doing The Triumph and All Things Must Die would be awesome.
I can't believe I forgot those two!!!
Red Like Roses Pt.II, with Jonathan Young doing Sandy/Summer's verses?
Honestly, can't think of too many they shouldn't do.
I'm prioritizing the ones I really want to hear.
from the very first note i was intoxicated by your voice! Great job! And at 3:25 you literally sound like Casey Lee Williams when you hit that high note!!!!!!
I was hoping you'd do more RWBY and here you pick one of my favorites! literally stopped what I was watching to go to this when I saw the notification. So good. So good.
I gotta say I did NOT expect how amazing this was O.O
The first half gave me INTENSE Phantom of the Opera vibes (which was fantastic) and then you just... WHOO! holy crap you blew me away.
I am an atheist.
I say that because your vocal chords make me think there's a god up there. Too perfect.
In the wise words of Penny Polendina... SENSATIONAL!
1) I’m jealous of your voice range
2) YOU ARE KILLING IT. GOOD WORK

You know I've been having a bad day, like really bad..... watched a couple of your vids..... I'm feeling stronger now.... thanks.
I'd be hip for more RWBY covers. Caleb's singing style fits their music well.
I gotta admit I was hesitant to listen to this cover because this is one of my favourite rwby songs and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to a male voice but I have to say, well done Caleb you knocked it out of the park I legit had goosebumps for the whole thing, brilliant cover, keep up the good work!
Peace! Love! And Metal!
Awsome work man 10/10, try doing ignite from rwby if you can.
I love how into your songs you get! Shows such passion and talent to understand the lyrics. You have a great voice and should definitely try out for America’s Got Talent. They would love that passion on stage!
Love the song, Caleb! Only, one thing I gotta say. that point around 1:40 where you start the "Woooooaoooooo" reminds me of Metal Gear Solid V when you hit one of Snake's cigars.
Oh shit you right.
I love the small epilogues of staggering away, drinking and commenting on the song that you have in these videos ^^ I know it's exhausting, but your voice is really perfect for covering the RWBY music. You can actually match that high vocal range of Casey's that Jeff wrote the songs for. Awesome work man! Stay wonderful
Damn, what a performance. This song really shows the amazing power and range of your voice, brilliant.
Oh my gosh dude. I honestly can't tell if you at the end you were just so tired or if the emotion you held whilst singing just overcame you. You're one of my favourite artists, bro.
My dude, what is that thumbnail art? I need it.
It's in the description
Oh, yep, missed it.
The beginning had me eyes closed, not moving, chills down my whole body and watery eyes in mere seconds. Holy shit.
Kudos man. It is extremely hard to match Casey's voice and intensity but DAMN boi! You nailed it!
It's hard to believe she was only 14 when she did the music for RWBY Volume 1!
And only 12 when she did the vocals for Red vs Blue Seasons 9 & 10.
The pure f*cking emotion in this gets me every time. You put so much heart and spirit into these covers and it really shows each time. Rock on, brother!
You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this
I have never.... NEVER stood up for a cover before..... My jaw is open.. My ears are in AWE. I didnt not think any male could sing this song.... let alone to this level..... WOW. just WOW
*original "this life is mine"*
"meh, it's alright."
*caleb's cover of "this life is mine"*
_goosebumps_
the sprint and water-drinking speedrun during the instrumental break was such an mood
I'm actually a little surprised that you could sing that high pitched. A very well done on your part, Caleb. I'm glad someone managed to do a good cover of this song. :)
your voices are so talent
You have such an amazing voice. Ive been listening to you everyday for over a year now and im still left speechless by every new video
i just came across this after i finally found out there was a full version and listened to that.. i def was not expecting this from a version by a guy.. geezus man! that was fuckiong amazing!! sorry for the swear cause kids, but how you nailed it so well i am just simply amazed!!!
YES!!!
thanks
Skillet ♥♡♥
RWBY♥♡♥♥♡
thanks you ^^
Absolutely flawless. It's incredible watching how you physically form different sounds and pitches and shift between them so rapidly.
This version has never leave my "On Repeat" list on spotify! There's not a passing day that I don't listen to this song!
Honestly I love love love this cover, but my one bit of advice for your higher register would be to relax your throat more. I can tell it's painful for you at certain points, and the more you learn to relax your throat and mouth, the less painful it'll be (this coming from an opera soprano). Your voice is truly excellent, I just know how miserable it can be to have a note you really want to hit but that's painful. I love your channel so much and would love to just see you grow and improve!
Man, I love it when we see you tired at the end of your covers. It shows you put HEART into it! Which I can hear and it makes a much bigger difference than any other component of your voice.
DAMN this man has some IMPRESSIVE VOCAL CORDS! I wasn't expecting him to jump the several octaves to Casey's, but I am amazed by how well he hit those notes.
A RWBY song !!! INSTANT LIKE 😆 Love your songs Caleb 😁😁😀
2:00 *lights candle and waves it in the air*
UGHHH YESSSSS MY FAV SOG FROM RWBYYY
This song is so exhausting to sing, the fact it only took you two takes is incredible.
Damn man that was amazing I don't even know a guy's vocals could be that good and I've seen your work with Jonathan but guess I'm subscribing to you too lol
See the very end there? That's a recording artist who gets very very into his craft. I love you, Caleb
I keep coming back to your RWBY covers. The emotion you put in is such a good match for Casey. Amazing!
MY GUYYYY YOU KILLED THIS 2:30
WHO'S HERE AFTER THE NEW RWBY EPISODE Y'ALL?
YES
I don't watch RWBY anymore, did Caleb sing an official song?
@@MugenHeadNinja Yes. It was brilliant.
@Anthony Calderon nothing is arguably even decent unless you guys are time travellers from when v3 was ending
potato chip uh what? RWBY is at its best, it’d be a tough fought debate between V3 V6 and V7 for top spot.
0:00 okay Caleb. impress me..... okay I'm IMPRESSED. excellent job.
I know from my own attempts that this is a difficult song to sing, I am so on board with how absolutely done Caleb is at the end.
This man's vocal range is astonishing! That wasn't even falsetto! Truly amazing!
Love how we went from the original version straight into the battle version
Dude... that was amazing. I'm always awed by not only your vocal range, but also your ability to shift between vocal styles. Bravo!
I had to sit for a minute and just embrace all that cause dear God I was completely shook.
I WISH I could do this song without cracking notes or literally having to stop mid phrase.
You sir are amazing
Levels of this song:
Level 1: Caleb can sing
