Mirror
GS Megaphone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing in the rain, How you are changes,
Who you are does not.
Staring at a mirror, left to right changes,
Left and right do not.

You're like a mirror to me. You show me who I really am.
Even if I am deranged you, show me.
Look at you look at me looking at you wondering.

A mirror shows who you are, even if who you are,
Is standing in the dark.




When I try to be like Jesus, what I'm doing changes,
Wrong and right do not.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Mirror" by GS Megaphone, the lyrics describe the powerful tool of a mirror to show us who we truly are. The opening lines, "Standing in the rain, How you are changes, Who you are does not. Staring at a mirror, left to right changes, Left and right do not," suggest that while external circumstances may change our appearance or behavior, our true identity remains the same. The use of the mirror metaphor emphasizes that we can see ourselves more clearly when we take a hard look in the mirror and confront who we truly are, rather than what we project to the world.


The next lines, "You're like a mirror to me. You show me who I really am. Even if I am deranged you, show me," express how another person can also serve as a mirror and reflect back to us our true selves, even when we may not recognize it ourselves. The repetition of "you show me" underscores the importance of others in helping us see ourselves clearly.


The song then shifts to a spiritual perspective, with the lines, "When I try to be like Jesus, what I'm doing changes, Wrong and right do not." Here, the mirror metaphor is applied to the process of becoming more Christ-like, where our external actions may change, but our true character and values remain constant. Ultimately, the song suggests that it is only by confronting our true selves, with the help of mirrors or others, that we can grow and become our best selves.
