Mirrors
Caylen Bennett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were young and didn't know better
When we got together we'd start a fire
Long forgotten dreams high above it
People stared, we thought nothing of it
And I won't pretend that I loved it
But I can say
I don't care
This will be the end of our reign
'Cause now you're leaving home on a plane
And I don't know if I should laugh or cry
This is how I always had seen us
Yes, we had our problems between us
But there was nothing that could demean us
When we shouted
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Now I don't know what to expect
If all that lies ahead is regret
Or if we'll build upon it for years to come
We may walk a path far from home
But each of us is never alone
No matter how dark or overgrown the road
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
In Caylen Bennett's song "Mirrors," the lyrics depict a nostalgic reflection on a past relationship. The opening lines indicate a sense of innocence and youth, where the couple didn't know any better but found solace and excitement in one another's company. They would ignite a fire within themselves and their connection, oblivious to the judgmental stares from others. The singer admits that they may not have loved the attention, but it didn't matter to them at the time.
As the song progresses, the tone shifts, indicating that the relationship has reached its end. The person the singer is singing about is leaving on a plane, and the singer is uncertain about how to react. They express a mix of emotions, unsure whether to laugh or cry. However, they had always envisioned this moment, acknowledging that they had faced their fair share of problems, but nothing could diminish their bond. When they argued or shouted, it didn't matter because their love was resilient.
The final section of the song embraces the uncertainty of the future. The singer doesn't know what to expect, whether it will be filled with regret or if they can build upon the past for years to come. They acknowledge that they might walk separate paths far from home, but they will never be truly alone. No matter how daunting or challenging the road ahead may be, the singer emphasizes that they don't care about the obstacles–they are ready to face them with resilience and determination.
Overall, "Mirrors" explores themes of youthful love, resilience, and uncertainty, highlighting the complexity and emotions involved in navigating relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
There are times that I can remember
I have memories of certain moments in the past
We were young and didn't know better
We were inexperienced and unaware of certain things
When we got together we'd start a fire
Our presence together would ignite passionate emotions
Long forgotten dreams high above it
Dreams that were once neglected are now elevated and significant
People stared, we thought nothing of it
We paid no attention to the judgmental gazes of others
And I won't pretend that I loved it
I can't deny that I didn't enjoy it
But I can say
However, I can confidently state
I don't care
I am indifferent or unaffected by it
This will be the end of our reign
Our influence or power will come to an end
'Cause now you're leaving home on a plane
Because you are departing and traveling by plane
And I don't know if I should laugh or cry
I am unsure whether to react with happiness or sadness
This is how I always had seen us
This is the envisioning I always had for us
Yes, we had our problems between us
Indeed, we faced conflicts and difficulties
But there was nothing that could demean us
Nothing had the power to belittle or diminish us
When we shouted
During the moments we raised our voices
Now I don't know what to expect
Presently, I am uncertain about what the future holds
If all that lies ahead is regret
If the future only consists of feelings of remorse or disappointment
Or if we'll build upon it for years to come
Alternatively, if we will construct and develop upon our experiences in the coming years
We may walk a path far from home
We might follow a course distant from our familiar surroundings
But each of us is never alone
But, individually, we are always supported and accompanied
No matter how dark or overgrown the road
Regardless of how challenging or daunting the journey may be
I don't care
I remain indifferent or unaffected
I don't care
I am still indifferent or unaffected
I don't care
I persist in my indifference or unaffected state
I don't care
I continue to be indifferent or unaffected
