Mirrors
Casey Reid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The curves warp the source and create the illusion of change
View different angles the input remains but the output's not the same
So i wonder when people look at me, what do they see
In me
In me
In me
Do they see a man that's been changed from the inside out
Who's just like them, trying to figure like out
Am i a reflection of my maker, or do they see
Another human claiming the name, but not living it out
Look at the world we live in, doesn't it break your heart
Souls searching for answers in all the wrong places
We have the chance to be the change, that we wish to see
But when the wind blows, will our mark remain
Remain
Remain
Remain
Do they see someone that's been changed from the inside out
Who's just like them, trying to figure life out
Are we reflections of our maker, or do they see
Another human claiming the name, but not living it out
I wanna be a reflection of my maker
I wanna be the change i wish to see
I've spent my whole life trying to figure it out
Love god, love people
That's what it's all about
Love god, love people
That's what its all about
Love god, love people
That's what it's all about
The lyrics of Casey Reid's song "Mirrors" delve into the idea that perception can be deceiving, symbolized by the phrase "Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear." This line serves as a metaphor for how people may not always accurately perceive others or themselves, as the curves in the mirror warp reality and create an illusion of change. The singer reflects on how people view them and questions what they truly see when they look at the singer. There is a sense of self-examination and a desire to understand one's own identity and how it is perceived by others.
The lyrics further explore the theme of personal transformation and introspection. The singer wonders if they have been changed from the inside out and if they are a reflection of their maker or simply another flawed human who falls short of truly embodying their beliefs. This contemplation extends to a critique of society, as the singer laments the state of the world and the misguided search for answers in the wrong places. There is a call to action to be the change one wishes to see in the world and to leave a lasting mark that endures despite the challenges.
The repetition of the phrase "Remain" underscores the singer's desire for authenticity and a lasting impact in a world that can be fleeting and transient. There is a deep sense of responsibility and a yearning to live a life that reflects one's true beliefs and values. The lyrics convey a struggle to reconcile one's faith and personal journey with the external perceptions and expectations of others.
In the final verses, the singer expresses a poignant resolution to be a reflection of their maker and to embody the love and compassion that they believe in. There is a simplicity in the message that love for God and love for others is at the core of true fulfillment and purpose. The repetition of the mantra "Love God, love people, that's what it's all about" encapsulates the singer's earnest desire to align their actions with their beliefs and to make a positive impact on the world around them.
