Knights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tying one on out back
Flexing their charms
In the gym
With the guys
It keeps me awake,
Knowing you'll love me
Someday
I'm alive
I'm right here
I'm here
Am I a clerk or a mirror?
Whichever will do
Down at the stores
Picking up aspirin and milk
Nursing an arm
Like a bird
In a drawer
The effortless cool way
You carry your bags
I am stocking the shelves
Hoping you'll see me in the back
I was alive
This whole time
I was here
I'm still here
Am I a clerk or a mirror?
Whichever will do
The tournament of stares
Somebody's got to move
The song "Mirrors" by Knights explores the theme of self-acceptance and how one's perception of themselves can be distorted by societal standards and expectations. The Hall of mirrors represents the world around us that reflects our image back to us, but often in a distorted manner. The lyrics start by acknowledging the different shapes and sizes that we come in, yet we still feel trapped by the reflections we see.
The lyrics delve into the idea of wanting to change one's appearance, whether it's wanting a smaller nose or a smaller butt. This desire for change is driven by the societal pressures to fit a certain mold, which is reinforced by rules that are often impossible to follow. However, the lyrics also touch on the idea that despite our flaws and imperfections, we are still beautiful in our own way.
The chorus of the song highlights the struggle between accepting oneself and the desire to fit in with society's expectations. The repetition of the phrase "But I am beautiful, beautiful" reflects the internal dialogue of the singer trying to convince themselves that their flaws don't detract from their beauty. The song concludes with the idea that we can break free from this cycle of self-doubt and reflection by mirroring each other instead of constantly viewing ourselves in the Hall of mirrors.
Line by Line Meaning
What shape I'm in
Reflecting on my physical appearance and how it affects my self-perception
I'm fat I'm thin
My weight fluctuates, causing me to feel unstable in my own body
Lumpy and tall
My body shape doesn't conform to traditional beauty standards
Grumpy and small
My mood and attitude towards myself can be negatively impacted by my appearance
Can't escape this Hall of mirrors
Feeling trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk and self-criticism
I'm a Rose a pig
I see myself as a contradiction, both beautiful and unattractive
How's my nose so big
Focusing on a physical feature that I perceive as flawed
Find me a glass
Wishing for an external solution to my body image issues
To shrink my arse
Desiring to change my physical appearance to fit societal beauty standards
And escape this Hall of mirrors
Wanting to break free from my negative self-talk and improve my self-image
Way too just and way too pure
Feeling like my flaws are too obvious and easily noticeable
Can't my flaws be more obscure?
Wishing that my insecurities weren't so evident to others
But I am beautiful, beautiful
Recognizing that I still have beauty and value, despite my flaws
But I am beautiful
Affirming my own self-worth and beauty
How am I beautiful, beautiful to him?
Questioning whether my beauty is recognized and valued by a romantic partner
How am I beautiful?
Asking myself to recognize my own beauty and value
So many rules
Feeling overwhelmed by societal standards of beauty and behavior
It's impossible
Feeling like I can never meet these impossible standards
I'm doomed to fail
Believing that I'll never be accepted or loved unless I fit these standards
Just like Israel
Comparing my situation to the struggles of a marginalized group
Stuck inside this Hall of mirrors
Feeling trapped in my own negative self-perception and self-talk
I'll mirror you
Trying to fit in with others by imitating their behavior and attitudes
You mirror me
Noticing that others are also conforming to societal beauty standards, and trying to fit in with them
No need to view
Avoiding looking at my true self and focusing on external validation
Eternity
Feeling like I'll never escape this cycle
Never see this Hall of mirrors
Hoping to break free from my negative self-perception and improve my self-image

Is anyone else reminded of Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark from "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (1983) when they watch this scene...? One wonders if Ray Bradbury might have been inspired, even if only unconsciously, by the Knight Of Mirrors when he envisioned the Mirrors of the Pandemonium Carnival which Mr. Dark uses to ensnare the souls of his prey/victims.
"And now this -- this is your glass of darkness, Mr. Halloway. Its name? Regret. Its son? Despair. Drink deep its funeral sights and sounds! Your failure as a father and as a man. Your son hates you. You've lost him. He's mine, and young Jim Nightshade too! Drown, Halloway! Drown in your regrets!"

Anyone who has a, "dream", must face this reality.
The world is not what you want it to be.

The harsh reality of a, "Dreamer"!
