Mirror
H.j-me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please tell me who the flyest
The most dapper of all
It isn't you
Yo how the mirror start laughing
Laugh at myself
Should get the Oscar of rapping
Award season
I passed the awkward stage
I'm here for a reason
If only for a few
Just to share the message
Got the antidote for the snake venom
Artist wit my words
See how I make em blend with
The beat
This instrumental on crack
If my mama here that line she'll say don't joke about that
The families that suffered from the white cuz they black
Gotta gotta get used to my jargon
Yea I'm still poor
But don't have time for a bargain
Life is rough but I'm a warrior Spartan
I promise not to break like some eggs without cartons
Maneuver kinda militant
Be doing due diligence
Mirror mirror
I truly be killing em
Starting office hours
So I could be billing em
What's the end game
Maybe touch a few million
Not talking about the money
I'm talking bout lives
To lend a helping hand that's the greatest of prize
As I wrote that line got some water in eyes
I gotta make it
All the things I've been through
Against all odds I've been labeled quite odd
Trynna tell em
Normal don't change the planet
That goes over their heads
Yo they don't understand it
It's ok I didn't understand either
Had to do my homework
Now I be a believer
Gotta watch the ones who quick to pick up receiver
Just to talk gossip
Loose lips sink ships
Mirror mirror
Please keep it a buck
Would life be easier if I don't
Mirror mirror
Please keep it a stack
Would life be easier if my skin wasn't black
Not everything bout race is you kidding
Not everything perfect like an unneutered kitten
Things is outta hand just like losing one mitten
Or maybe a sock
I'm all about the chance
Go up and down like the stock
I'm taking stock
I'm taking inventory
Fall to my knees
What does God want for me
I'm all up in your face
It's kinda hard to ignore me
When will I leave
Time is winding up fast
Mirror mirror
How long will I last
The lyrics of H.j-me's song "Mirror" suggest the feeling of being stuck in a rut while the world around the singer is continually changing. The opening line, "Everything's a novelty," could be interpreted as a statement that whatever the singer experiences, it feels like they've seen it before, like it's no longer new. The following line, "Everyone grows but me," emphasizes this sense of being left behind, as though everyone else is able to move forward and progress, while the singer remains stagnant.
The repetition of the lines, "Close one eye, step to the side," implies an attempt to gain a different perspective, perhaps to better understand why everything seems stagnant. The idea that "everyone's in fragments" adds to the feeling of disconnection and disarray. The use of the word "fragments" suggests that nothing is whole or complete, and everyone feels "broken" in some way.
Overall, "Mirror" is a poignant reflection on the feeling of being stuck and unable to grow, even as the world changes around us.
