Mirrors
Fractures & Outlines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is it just the both of us
Being way too stubborn
To give up on us
I swore I'd stay true to myself
But I don't know where I belong
Or what on earth we were meant to become
Why would you still believe in me
When I can't even trust myself with my own feelings
I'm only glass which is seen through
I stare at my reflection in the mirror and all I can see is you
I swear I promise I'm okay
And I keep lying to convince myself that
The misery can simply away
And I'm just tired of the fact
That I keep hiding my true self behind a mask
Honesty's a virtue that I lack
Why would you still believe in me
When I can't even trust myself with my own feelings
I'm only glass which is seen through
I stare at my reflection in the mirror and all I can see is you
I'll give everything to try and forgive
The man I've become
My wrongs and my sins
I'll give everything to try and forgive
The man I've become
My wrongs and my sins
I'll erase myself from all parts of humanity
All I'll be is a speck of a dream
Erase Me
And paint who you want me to be
Change myself
And I'll become what you ask of me
Transform me
Into a brand new human being
(Forever)
Breaking mirrors, crashing dreams
Why would you still believe in me
When I can't even trust myself with my own feelings
Why would you still believe in me
When I can't even trust myself with my own feelings
I'm only glass which is seen through
I stare at my reflection in the mirror and all I can see is you
The lyrics of "Mirrors" by Fractures & Outlines delve into the complex emotions and struggles within a relationship.

It questions whether their love is genuine or if they are simply too stubborn to let go of their relationship. The singer acknowledges their own struggle to stay true to themselves and understand their place in the relationship, questioning what they were truly meant to become.
The second paragraph reflects the singer's lack of self-trust and reliance on their partner's belief in them. They admit to being unable to trust their own feelings, emphasizing their vulnerability and fragility. They compare themselves to glass that is easily seen through, suggesting that their emotions and thoughts are transparent. Looking at their reflection in the mirror, all they can see is their partner, suggesting that their identity has become intertwined with this relationship.
In the third paragraph, the singer tries to convince themselves and their partner that they are okay, even though they are lying to themselves. They acknowledge the misery they are experiencing but are tired of hiding their true self behind a mask. They admit they lack the virtue of honesty, indicating their struggle with authenticity.
The final paragraph reflects the singer's willingness to change and seek forgiveness for the person they have become. They express a desire to erase themselves from humanity and become a mere remnant of a dream. They succumb to the pressure of their partner's expectations, willing to transform themselves into whatever they are asked to be. The line "breaking mirrors, crashing dreams" suggests the destructive nature of their pursuit to change, perhaps risking losing their true self in the process.

Line by Line Meaning
Is this really love
Is the connection between us genuine and based on love
Or is it just the both of us
Or are we just two stubborn individuals
Being way too stubborn
Being excessively resistant to change or giving up
To give up on us
To abandon our relationship
I swore I'd stay true to myself
I made a promise to remain authentic
But I don't know where I belong
But I am uncertain of my place in this relationship
Or what on earth we were meant to become
Or what destiny has in store for us
Why would you still believe in me
Why do you continue to have faith in me
When I can't even trust myself with my own feelings
When I struggle to have confidence in my own emotions
I'm only glass which is seen through
I am transparent and easily understood by others
I stare at my reflection in the mirror and all I can see is you
I look at myself in the mirror and all I see is your influence on me
I swear I promise I'm okay
I make an oath and try to convince myself that I am fine
And I keep lying to convince myself that
And I repeatedly deceive myself in an attempt to believe that
The misery can simply away
The pain and suffering will magically disappear
And I'm just tired of the fact
And I am exhausted by the reality
That I keep hiding my true self behind a mask
That I constantly conceal my authentic identity
Honesty's a virtue that I lack
Being truthful is a virtue that I do not possess
I'll give everything to try and forgive
I am willing to do whatever it takes to seek forgiveness
The man I've become
The person I have transformed into
My wrongs and my sins
The mistakes and transgressions I have committed
I'll erase myself from all parts of humanity
I will remove myself entirely from the human existence
All I'll be is a speck of a dream
I will be nothing more than a fleeting aspiration
Erase Me
Eliminate my presence
And paint who you want me to be
And create the image of myself that you desire
Change myself
Alter my own identity
And I'll become what you ask of me
And I will transform into whatever you demand
Transform me
Completely change my essence
Into a brand new human being
Into an entirely new individual
(Forever)
(For eternity)
Breaking mirrors, crashing dreams
Shattering reflections and destroying aspirations
Why would you still believe in me
Why do you continue to have faith in me
When I can't even trust myself with my own feelings
When I struggle to have confidence in my own emotions
I'm only glass which is seen through
I am transparent and easily understood by others
I stare at my reflection in the mirror and all I can see is you
I look at myself in the mirror and all I see is your influence on me
