Mirrors
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
And I can't help but stare, 'cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
The song "Mirrors" by Kidz Bop is a heartfelt expression of admiration and love for someone who reflects the best qualities of the singer. In the first verse, the singer marvels at the shining brilliance of the subject's being, comparing them to a mirror that reflects back the singer's image. This reflection is not just physical, but reaches deep into the singer's heart, where they feel a connection to this person that cannot be easily defined. The chorus describes the power of their bond, symbolized by the image of the singer and the subject with their hands on opposite sides of a glass, each trying to pull the other through to be with them. The second verse continues the theme of mutual reflection, with the subject being described as an original whose truth can be seen in their eyes, and who reflects the singer's own qualities back to them. Ultimately, the song celebrates the power of two people to come together as one, with their reflections merging into a single image.
The lyrics of "Mirrors" are powerful because they explore the theme of love and connection using the metaphor of a mirror, which is an object that people often associate with introspection and reflection. The song captures the idea that love is not just a feeling, but a reflection of who we are, and the ways in which we see ourselves in others. This theme is reinforced by the use of the phrase "two reflections into one" in the chorus, which suggests that the two people in the relationship are like mirrors to each other, reflecting back the same qualities and creating a single image that is greater than the sum of its parts.
One interesting fact about "Mirrors" is that it was originally written and performed by Justin Timberlake for his album "The 20/20 Experience." The Kidz Bop version is a cover of the song, adapted for a younger audience. Another interesting fact is that the video for the original version of the song features Justin Timberlake's grandparents, who had been married for over 60 years at the time the video was made. The video for the Kidz Bop version also features a couple, but they are much younger and have a more contemporary look.
Line by Line Meaning
Aren't you somethin' to admire?
You are truly remarkable and deserve to be admired
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
Your brilliance is so powerful that it reflects like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
I am fully aware and cognizant of your presence
You reflect in this heart of mine
You have a deep impact on my feelings and emotions
If you ever feel alone and
In case you ever feel isolated and by yourself
The glare makes me hard to find
The bright lights or other distractions make it difficult to locate me
Just know that I'm always
You can count on me being there
Parallel on the other side
I am right beside you, on the same level or path
With your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
Together we have the strength and spirit to go anywhere
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
There is no limit to where we can travel or achieve
Just put your hand on the glass
Place your hand on the barrier between us for us to connect
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
I will do my best to bring you to my side
You just gotta be strong
You need to believe in yourself and stay resilient
I don't wanna lose you now
I do not want to lose your presence or relationship at this moment
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
I am gazing upon my equal and counterpart
The vacancy that sat in my heart
The empty space that resided in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
You now occupy and fill that empty space in my heart
Show me how to fight for now
Teach me how to fight to keep us together for the time being
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
I will tell you that it was not difficult to come back to you once I realized how much I need you
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
Returning to you after realizing my true feelings
You were right here all along
You never left my side, and I just noticed it now
It's like you're my mirror
You are a reflection of me, and us being together is like looking in a mirror
My mirror staring back at me
My reflection in the mirror provides me comfort by showing that you are there for me
I couldn't get any bigger
I could not be any greater or larger without you
With anyone else beside of me
No one else could provide me with the same level of completeness as you do
And now it's clear as this promise
It is now evident that this is a commitment that will be kept
That we're making two reflections into one
Our combined reflection is now one and the same
Yesterday is history
The past is behind us and cannot be changed
Tomorrow's a mystery
The future is unknown and unpredictable
I can see you lookin' back at me
I can imagine you looking at me, even if we are far away from each other
Keep your eyes on me
Focus your attention and heart on me, and we will remain connected
Please show me, baby
Please teach me and guide me, my love
