Mirror
Lil Wayne(릴 웨인) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With everything happening today
You don't know whether you're coming or going
But you think that you're on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
You looking at me but I'm lookin' through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself I'm looking at the

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again

Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you re all alone
And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
I see that guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pain
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again

Lookin' at me now I can see my past
Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad
Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
I see my momma smile that's a blessin'
I see the change, I see the message
And no message could been any clearer
So I'm starting with the man in the

Mirror on the wall, (MJ taught me that)
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend (take them to mars man)
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Uh

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Mirror on the wall
Hey BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time





So why are we talkin' to each other again

Overall Meaning

In Lil Wayne (Feat. Bruno Mars)'s song Mirror, they talk about the turbulence that comes with life and the struggles of self-reflection. The lyrics suggest that life can be confusing, but the person singing the song thinks they are on the right path. They urge the listener to pay attention and not ruin their life by making poor decisions. The lines 'Mirror on the wall, here we are again. Through my rise and fall, you've been my only friend' suggest that the person singing the song is talking to themselves in the mirror and that they have been their only constant throughout their successes and failures. Lil Wayne's part of the song talks about how he sees through people's lies and sees the pain and guilt they are hiding.


The chorus repeats multiple times, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, as well as how the person they see in the mirror is a culmination of their past experiences, both positive and negative. It also references Michael Jackson's song "Man in the Mirror," which is about self-improvement and looks at the need for personal change.
