Mirrors
Anthem Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aren't you somethin' to admire
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
Cause it doesn't seem really as simple
And I can't help but stare, cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I
Would look at us all the time
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we wouldn't go
Put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make a change
And make a change
Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
Oh, it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one




Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Line by Line Meaning

Aren't you somethin' to admire
You are truly remarkable and noteworthy


Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
Your brilliance is like a reflection of yourself


And I can't help but notice
I cannot avoid noticing this fact


You reflect in this heart of mine
You have a profound impact on my emotions and thoughts


If you ever feel alone and
In case you ever feel isolated and separate


The glare makes me hard to find
The distractions and obstacles make it difficult for you to perceive my presence


Just know that I'm always
Be assured that I am constantly


Parallel on the other side
Standing side by side, facing a common direction


Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
Together, with your support and one's own strength, anything is possible


I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
There is no destination or challenge that we cannot successfully achieve together


Just put your hand on the glass
Merely place your hand on the glass


I'll be tryin' to pull you through
I will endeavor to pull you in through it


You just gotta be strong
You only need to possess strength and fortitude


I don't wanna lose you now
I do not desire to lose you at this time


I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
I see the complementary part of myself in you


The vacancy that sat in my heart
A void that existed in my heart space


Is a space that now you hold
Which you currently occupy and fill


Show me how to fight for now
Demonstrate to me how to persevere in the current moment


And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
And I will confess that it seemed simple to return to you


Comin' back into you once I figured it out
Returning to you after discovering the solution


You were right here all along
You have been beside me the entire time


It's like you're my mirror
You are akin to my reflection


My mirror staring back at me
Like a mirror, reflecting back my image


I couldn't get any bigger
It is impossible for me to become any greater


With anyone else beside me
With anyone other than you beside me


And now it's clear as this promise
And now, the certainty of this vow becomes transparent


That we're making
Which we are committing to


Two reflections into one
Two reflections of each other coming together as one


I'm starting with the man in the mirror, oh
I am beginning with the individual in the looking glass


I'm asking him to change his ways
I am imploring this person to alter their behavior and mindset


And no message could have been any clearer
There could not have been a more lucid communication


If you wanna make the world a better place
If you wish to improve the state of the world


Take a look at yourself and make a change
Analyze oneself and initiate the transformation


Cause I don't wanna lose you now
Because I do not want to lose you at this moment


It's like you're my mirror
You resemble my reflection


My mirror staring back at me
Reflecting my image back to me


It's clear as this promise
The certainty of this vow is transparent


That we're making
Which we are committing to


Two reflections into one
Two reflections merging into a whole


My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
My reflection gazing back at itself
