Mirrors
Am.Light Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's not above
A push and a shove
Reset this entry
Until the edge is razor cut
Strike that!
Again from scratch
Enter this fix in
That has been be arranged
As plain
And dull as ever
I hook into a bait and switch
It wasn't the talk or the placement
That I devised
To separate my need
To be mirror clear
Push then pull defeat
I carved and sculpt a replica
And expo - "polished mania"
Render your new insight gone
Shocked and appalled!
Out with the thieves and animals
Dazed into the depths of kinds
This isn't the slate or the pace
Into the same graves
And out of the frame
That I divide
To separate my need
To be mirror clear
Push then pull defeat
I carved and sculpt a replica
And expo - "polished mania"
These old worries
Roses in rows
All creeping older
In the song "Mirrors" by Am.Light, the lyrics seem to depict a person who is reflecting on their flaws and mistakes. The line "Center on the experts flaw, he's not above a push and a shove" suggests that the person is focusing on the flaws of someone they once admired or looked up to. They feel the need to reset and start over, as if they have reached a breaking point. The reference to "a push and a shove" could indicate a tense or volatile situation.
The lyrics continue with phrases like "enter this fix in" and "hook into a bait and switch," which suggest a sense of manipulation or deception. The person may have been involved in a situation where they had to deceive others or themselves in order to achieve their goals. However, they come to realize that it wasn't the talk or the placement that separated their need to be clear and honest with themselves. They reflect on their struggles and efforts to create a polished image, but in the end, they feel shocked and appalled by their own actions.
The last stanza of the lyrics introduces the theme of aging and the passage of time. The mention of "roses in rows, all creeping older" represents the worries and concerns that accumulate over time. It seems that the person is acknowledging that these worries will continue to grow and change as they themselves age.
Overall, "Mirrors" explores themes of self-reflection, deception, the pressure to be perfect, and the passage of time. It delves into the emotions and struggles of a person who has realized their flaws and mistakes but is still seeking clarity and understanding.

As plain
As ordinary
And dull as ever
And as boring as always
I hook into a bait and switch
I engage in deception
It wasn't the talk or the placement
It was not about the conversation or positioning
That I devised
That I planned
To separate my need
To distance myself from my desires
To be mirror clear
To be completely transparent
Push then pull defeat
Experience a cycle of both success and failure
I carved and sculpt a replica
I created a replica carefully
And expo - 'polished mania'
And displayed it as perfection
Render your new insight gone
Make your new understanding disappear
Shocked and appalled!
Surprised and disgusted
Out with the thieves and animals
Get rid of the dishonest and unruly
Dazed into the depths of kinds
Confused by various types
This isn't the slate or the pace
This is not the blank canvas or the speed
Into the same graves
Into the same repetitive routines
And out of the frame
And outside the established boundaries
That I divide
That I separate
To separate my need
To distance myself from my desires
To be mirror clear
To be completely transparent
Push then pull defeat
Experience a cycle of both success and failure
I carved and sculpt a replica
I created a replica carefully
And expo - 'polished mania'
And displayed it as perfection
These old worries
These lingering concerns
Roses in rows
Flowers organized in lines
All creeping older
All gradually aging
