Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
너를 마주할 때면
매번 난 답이 없어
하긴 뭘 기대 했어? Yeah
그래 거울아
어떤 표정도 싫어
부족함 뿐인 난데
애써도 못날 텐데
Ooh 널 보는 내 기분을 넌 알아야 해
Ooh 때론 날 좀 다르게 비췄어야 해
Ooh 초라한 내 걸음 얼굴 옷차림도
거짓으로 날 비춰줬어야 해
In the mirror
계속 바라보면 뭔가 달라질까
In the mirror
흐릿하게 보면 조금 나아질까
넌 완벽함을 찾고
난 부족함을 찾아
진실과 거짓 사이의 경계
Can I be new mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror (du-du-du-du, du-du)
Can I be new Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror (du-du-du-du, du-du)
쟤를 봐 저 smile is perfect (smile)
나와 별반 다를 게 없는데
당당하면 안 되는 거잖아
난 또 거울 속 답을 묻겠지 (oh)
너의 beauty
한껏 취해
네 스스로 다 망가지고
불행해지기를
Ooh 널 보는 내 기분을 넌 알아야 해 (알아야 해)
Ooh 때론 날 좀 다르게 비췄어야 해 (ooh, yeah)
Ooh 겁이 없는 말투 몸짓 자신감도 (ayy, ayy, ayy)
원하는 대로 날 비춰줬어야 해 (In the mirror)
In the mirror
계속 바라보면 뭔가 달라질까
In the mirror (in the mirror, baby)
흐릿하게 보면 조금 나아질까 (ooh)
넌 완벽함을 찾고 (perfection)
난 부족함을 찾아 (ooh-whoa)
진실과 거짓 사이의 경계
Can I be new mirror, mirror (mirror, mirror, can I be new)
Mirror, mirror (In the mirror, mirror mirror)
Can I be new mirror, mirror (mirror mirror, mirror mirror)
Mirror, mirror (Can I be, can I be you?)
The lyrics of Key's song "Mirror Mirror" delve into themes of self-reflection, self-acceptance, and the constant comparison to others. Key speaks to the mirror as a metaphor for self-exploration and inner turmoil. He expresses frustration at feeling lost when facing his reflection, questioning his own expectations and insecurities. The repetition of "Mirror, mirror" serves as a plea for a deeper understanding of oneself and a desire for transformation.
Throughout the song, Key grapples with the idea of perfection and inadequacy, highlighting the internal struggle between seeking perfection and coming to terms with one's flaws. He acknowledges the pressure to conform to societal standards of beauty and success, while also recognizing the importance of authenticity and self-acceptance. The reference to finding the boundary between truth and falsehood reflects the complexity of navigating one's identity in a world filled with illusions and expectations.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire for change and self-improvement. Key questions whether continuously looking in the mirror will lead to any real change or growth, pondering if seeing oneself more clearly will bring about improvement. The lyrics suggest a longing for a new perspective, a fresh start, and a transformation of the self that goes beyond superficial appearances.
Key's introspective lyrics also touch on the impact of comparison to others and the struggle with confidence and self-worth. He acknowledges the temptation to idealize others, yet yearns to find his own unique identity and voice. The song encapsulates a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and ultimately, a plea for authenticity and self-love in a world rife with insecurity and external judgements. The repetitive questioning of "Can I be new mirror, mirror" conveys a sense of longing for growth, self-assurance, and a deeper connection with one's true self.
