Mirrors
Joanna and Alexandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turn around not to see the real me
Afraid what I’ll find inside
Can’t look me in the eyes
These mirrors
Blind me to what others see
I turn around try to be pretty
Hoping to be like the world
My true loves on a wall
And she yes she’s the fairest of them all yeah
Mirror mirror on the wall
You know me best of all and
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'll keep waiting till you say you’re
Beautiful
Honey don’t let the world tie you down
They want you on the ground
So fly
Higher than they’ll ever be
Cuz you are all you need
Yeah my true loves on a wall
And she yes she’s the fairest of them all
Mirror mirror on the wall
You know me best of all and
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'll keep waiting till you say you’re
Beautiful
You never stop no
Learning about yourself
But you can start by
Changing the way you felt
Reflection changing and rearranging
To show what I can see
And be what you’ve always been
Mirror mirror on the wall
You know me best of all
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'll keep waiting till you say you’re
Beautiful
Beautiful
Till you say you’re
Beautiful
The song "Mirrors" by Joanna and Alexandra explores the themes of self-image, societal pressure, and the idea of finding true beauty within oneself. The lyrics convey a sense of insecurity and the struggle to embrace one's authentic self in a world that often distorts perceptions of beauty. The concept of mirrors is used as a metaphor for the way in which we see ourselves and the way others perceive us.
The opening lines, "Mirrors show me an image too deep, I turn around not to see the real me, afraid what I'll find inside, can't look me in the eyes," suggest a fear of confronting one's true self, possibly due to a lack of self-acceptance or the pressures of conforming to societal standards. The desire to be seen as pretty and to fit in with the world's expectations is represented by the line, "I turn around try to be pretty, hoping to be like the world tells me to be."
The chorus, with the repetition of "Mirror mirror on the wall, you know me best of all," portrays a longing for validation and acceptance from external sources. The mirror becomes a symbol of seeking affirmation and reassurance of one's worth. However, the bridge of the song shifts the focus towards self-discovery and personal growth, encouraging the listener to change their perspective and embrace their true selves. It suggests that true beauty lies within, and that by learning about oneself and making positive changes, one can move closer to self-acceptance and genuine beauty.
Overall, "Mirrors" serves as a reminder to embrace individuality and reject societal pressures to conform. It encourages self-love and the pursuit of inner growth, highlighting the importance of recognizing and appreciating one's true beauty.

For all the women seeing this- you are worthy.
For the channel owner, it’s a pathetic share and shows you are chasing clicks versus bringing value and goodness to the world.
How horrible a life of embarrassment this brings for this poor young woman who is probably lovely, but her expression is one of humiliation.
For those who laugh at this consider your mothers, sisters and all the women in the world.
This kind of shame is the source of so much sorrow that is unnecessary.
