The mirror
Hardwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many questions on my mind, so many answers I can't find
Who am I? What do I see?
Why am I different? Am I living the dream?
Or am I the prisoner of my own creations?
I always wondered what's beyond the dream
What my dream truly is
Are dreams the things you see when you close your eyes?
Sometimes I felt pressured by expectations
In a society that profits from our self-doubts
Being true to yourself is a challenging act
Why should I follow the rules?
Aren't rules meant for people who don't know what to do?
I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change
I am changing the things I can no longer accept
The world made me what I was
But my faith made me what I am today
I know you have your opinion, but let's be honest
Your opinion of me does not define who I am
'Cause I know what you want me to be
Now, I'm gonna show you who I truly am
The lyrics to "The mirror" by Hardwell delve into the introspective journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. The singer of the song is looking into the mirror, confronting their own reflection, and contemplates various questions about their identity and purpose. They express feelings of confusion and frustration, as they struggle to find answers to their own existence. The lyrics highlight the struggle between conforming to societal expectations and staying true to oneself.
The song explores the concept of dreams, questioning whether they are merely fantasies that dance behind closed eyelids or the worries that keep one awake at night. The singer also expresses the pressure they feel from society's expectations, feeling trapped by the expectations imposed upon them. The lyrics hint at the realization that one should not be bound by societal rules but should instead forge their own path.
There is a sense of empowerment and defiance in the latter part of the lyrics, as the singer declares their unwillingness to accept things they cannot change and their determination to change the things they can no longer accept. They acknowledge that external influences may have shaped them in the past, but their own faith and conviction have helped them become who they are today. The singer challenges others' opinions and emphasizes that their opinion does not define their identity, and they are now ready to reveal their true self.
Overall, "The mirror" dives deep into the introspective journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, questioning societal norms, and embracing one's true identity.
Line by Line Meaning
Looking in the mirror, staring down my own reflection
Examining myself and pondering on my true self
So many questions on my mind, so many answers I can't find
Being troubled by various uncertainties and lacking solutions
Who am I? What do I see?
Questioning my identity and what I perceive
Why am I different? Am I living the dream?
Doubting my uniqueness and questioning if I'm fulfilling my aspirations
Or am I the prisoner of my own creations?
Contemplating if I am restrained by the things I have created
I always wondered what's beyond the dream
Curiously considering what lies beyond mere aspirations
What my dream truly is
Seeking the genuine nature of my aspirations
Are dreams the things you see when you close your eyes?
Questioning if dreams occur while sleeping
Or the things that keep you up at night?
Speculating if dreams are the concerns that disturb your sleep
Sometimes I felt pressured by expectations
Occasionally experiencing stress due to demands placed upon me
In a society that profits from our self-doubts
In a culture that benefits from our lack of confidence
Being true to yourself is a challenging act
Remaining authentic to oneself is a demanding endeavor
Why should I follow the rules?
Questioning the necessity of conforming to societal regulations
Aren't rules meant for people who don't know what to do?
Aren't regulations intended for those lacking direction?
I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change
Refusing to passively tolerate circumstances beyond my control
I am changing the things I can no longer accept
Taking action to transform the aspects I can no longer endure
The world made me what I was
Acknowledging the influence of the environment on my past self
But my faith made me what I am today
Recognizing that my beliefs shaped my present identity
I know you have your opinion, but let's be honest
Understanding that others hold their views, but let's speak truthfully
Your opinion of me does not define who I am
Realizing that others' perceptions do not determine my essence
'Cause I know what you want me to be
Because I am aware of the expectations you have for me
Now, I'm gonna show you who I truly am
Now, I will reveal my genuine self to you

Mirando en el espejo...
mirando mi propio reflejo tantas preguntas en mi mente, tantas respuestas que no puedo encontrar...
Quién soy???
Que es lo que veo???
Por que soy diferente???
Estoy viviendo el sueño???
O soy prisionero de mis propias creaciones?
Siempre me pregunté qué hay más allá del sueño???
Cual es mi sueño de verdad???
Nuestros sueños las cosas que ves cuando tu cierra tus ojos???
O las cosas que te mantienen despierto por la noche???
A veces me sentí presionado por expectativas...
en una sociedad que se beneficia de nuestras dudas de uno mismo.
Ser fiel a uno mismo es un reto
Actuar???
Por qué debo seguir las reglas?
son reglas destinadas a personas que no saben qué hacer
Ya no acepto las cosas que no puedo cambiar estoy cambiando las cosas que ya no puedo aceptar!!!
El mundo me hizo lo que era
Pero mi fe me hizo lo que soy hoy!!!
Yo sé que tienes tu opinión...
Pero seamos honestos... Tu opinion de mi no define quien soy!!!
Porque se lo que quieres que sea!!!
Ahora!!!
Voy a mostrarte quién soy realmente!!!

Mirando el espejo.
Mirando mi propio reflejo.
Tantas preguntas en mi mente.
Tantas respuestas que no puedo encontrar.
¿Quién soy?
¿Que es lo que veo?
¿Por qué soy diferente?
¿Estoy viviendo el sueño, o soy el prisionero de mis propias creaciones?
Siempre me pregunté qué hay más allá del sueño.
¿Cuál es mi sueño de verdad?
Nuestros sueños, las cosas que ves cuando cierras los ojos.
O las cosas que te mantienen despierto por la noche.
A veces me sentí presionado por las expectativas, en una sociedad que se beneficia de nuestras dudas.
Ser fiel a uno mismo es un acto desafiante.
¿Por qué debo seguir las reglas?
¿Son las reglas para gente que no sabe qué hacer?
Ya no acepto las cosas que no puedo cambiar.
Estoy cambiando las cosas que ya no puedo aceptar.
El mundo me hizo lo que era.
Pero mi fe me hizo lo que soy hoy.
Sé que tienes tu opinión, pero seamos honestos.
Tu opinión sobre mí, no define quién soy.
Porque sé lo que quieres que sea.
Ahora, voy a mostrarte quién soy realmente.
