Mirror
Lil Wayne feat. Bruno Mars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, 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 (woo)

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
You lookin' 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 (woo), here we are again (yeah)
Through my rise and fall (uh)
You've been my only friend (yeah)
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 the 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 (yeah)
Through my rise and fall (uh-huh)
You've been my only friend (my only friend)
You told me that they can understand the man I am (they can understand)
So why are we here talkin' to each other again (misunderstood)

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
Ayy BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time





So why are we talkin' to each other again?

Overall Meaning

The song "Mirror" by Lil Wayne featuring Bruno Mars is a sultry and seductive exploration of the physical attraction between two people. The lyrics suggest that the two individuals are looking at themselves in a mirror while they explore their physical connection, admiring each other's curves and posing for each other. The verses speak of a woman who is "down" with the singer and is a "freak in the sheets," while the chorus repeats the sentiment that the two individuals want each other and are enjoying their intimate moment.


The lyrics suggest a sense of narcissism, with Lil Wayne referring to himself as "that man in the mirror" and Bruno Mars placing an emphasis on the visuals of their encounter. However, the repetition of "in the mirror" throughout the song can also be interpreted as a metaphor for self-reflection and introspection. The mirror becomes a symbol for the characters to see themselves and each other more deeply.


The chorus melody is catchy and the lyrics are easy to remember. It is a popular party song, especially at nightclubs and bars. The music video, directed by Antoine Fuqua, features Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars in a dark, moody setting, again utilizing mirrors and reflections to create a dreamy and slightly disorienting atmosphere.


Overall, "Mirror" is a sexually charged and visually engaging song that uses the metaphor of the mirror to explore the themes of self-reflection, attraction and intimacy.

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 Im 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, Im lookin at the.

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 f-ckin dad
