The Mirror
Danny Lux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time we took a ride
Drove it though the skyline
Let me swing by
In a little while
Hit you with the perfect plan
We can go freestyle, you and I
In a free fall
I get a real good look at myself
So what′s it gonna' be?
Can you set yourself free?
'Cause the stars are all about to
Come out
I known it′s such a fine line
At your side
Spinning on the high line
Give me one more try
Just to be your smile
Sliding down the rabbit hole
Now you′re so wild I'm, do or die
It′s free for all
When you step close to the mirror
I get a real good look at myself
So what's it gonna′ be?
Can you set yourself free?
'Cause the stars are all about to
Come out
Come out
These stars are all about to come out
In the song "The Mirror," Danny Lux appears to be speaking to a romantic interest or friend. He suggests that it's time for them to take a ride together through the skyline and try freestyling as they soar through a free fall. Lux notes that when the other person steps close to the mirror, he's able to see himself more clearly. He proposes that they take a chance and set themselves free so they can see the stars all about to come out.
The song can be interpreted as being about the process of self-discovery and finding one's own identity. The mirror represents a metaphor for self-reflection and introspection. When the other person steps close to the mirror, Lux sees himself more clearly because he is able to view himself through their eyes. He hopes that they will be able to set themselves free and take a chance on new experiences together. The stars that are about to come out represent the possibility of a brighter future.
