Mirror Mirror
Cherri Bomb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stuck in the middle of possible
Once more my back is up against the wall
You never seem to want to give in
Your lies are sharp and cutting into me
My heart is locked and you don't have a key
I'm staring at another dead end

I'll find a way
To escape you
I'll find a way
To erase you

Mirror mirror
What do you see
There's no you there's only me

I need a better way to make it good
That's why I ding my fingers into wood
Let the music pull me through
Can't hear the herd inside of what I play
When all the notes are a bunch of things you say
But you don't want to hear the tune

I found a way
To escape you
I found a way
To embrace you

Mirror mirror
What do you see
There's no you there's only me

Don't want your sympathy
'Cause I have learned you see,
To find a way to brave,
Whitout your smothering
(what is left)
Don't want your sympathy
(when it all falls thorough)
'Cause I have learned you see
(what's a heart)
To find a way to brave
(it's all in color)
Whitaout your smothering

(what is left)x2
(when it all falls thorough)x2
(what's a heart)x2
(it's all in color)x2

Mirror mirror
What do you
There's no you there's only me
Mirror mirror




What do you see
There's no you there's only me

The "Mirror mirror" represents self-reflection and the singer's realization that they cannot rely on another person for their own happiness. Instead, they need to find a way to "escape you" and "erase you" in order to become whole again.
