Mirror
Fourth I.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Excited to know more
I will not fear her
I sprayed em down and I wiped em off
Now they're so much clearer
Forever intrigued by the depth of my reflection
Reflecting on correcting
What really was not me
The compilated beauty of this life that I'm living
And becoming illusion free
What do you see
What do you see
In These Mirrors
What do you see
What do you see
Inside of you
Were you rejecting what you're reflecting too
How do you feel
How do you feel
With what you know
How do you feel
How do you feel
About the show you're watching
In These Mirrors
They're watching through These Mirrors
Mirrors
oooooooooo
oooooooooo
What do you see
What do you see
How do you feel
How do you feel
I'm deciding what needs work as I investigate myself
Learning I lack nothing that I always had my wealth
Now that I'm looking at it the picture is so much clearer
It's not a picture at all
It's just me looking in These Mirrors
What do you see
What do you see
How do you feel
How do you feel
Were you rejecting what you're reflecting too
What do you know
What do you know
About These Mirrors
What do you know
What do you know
About you you you you you you you you you
And These Mirrors

The repetition of the phrase 'Smoke Smoke Smoke' emphasizes the idea that the person is putting up a smokescreen to hide their true intentions. The next lines âJust to fool me baby you would go the distance, Cold and viscious, Saw a life with you but it was just a pictureâ talk about how the person went to great lengths to deceive the singer without a care for their feelings.
The singer is speaking about the relationship with the person in question, who they thought was their partner, but later realized was not. The deception was so masterful that the singer was hypnotized and taken in by it. With time the singer realized that the person was nothing but a trickster, who stayed hidden behind a façade of friendship. The chorus of the song, âSmoke and Mirrors, you say you are the one, Smoke and Mirrors, I've seen your kind before, Smoke and Mirrors, you're just another one,â repeats the idea that this person is just another one who has used smoke and mirrors to deceive.
Overall, through the lyrics of the song, Fourth I.D. tries to portray how easily people can be fooled by deceptive partners. The songâs lyrics tell a story of a relationship filled with lies and deception, and how the singer ultimately saw through the façade. The metaphorical use of 'Smoke and Mirrors' is a representation of the crafty ways in which people can deceive others in relationships.
