Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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?
The song "Mirror" by Lil Wayne feat. Bruno Mars is a reflection on life and self. The lyrics describe the confusion that can come with life's challenges and the feeling of trying to find one's way through it all. The opening lines set the tone for the song, painting a picture of a life that is uncertain and precarious. The line "life lined up on the mirror don't blow it" serves as a warning to the listener to be careful with the choices they make.
The chorus of the song is a conversation with a mirror, which serves as a metaphor for self-reflection. Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars take turns describing what they see in the person in the mirror, including the lies, the pain, and the scars. Despite the flaws they see, they also see the potential for growth and change.
The song has a message of self-acceptance and the importance of being true to oneself. The line "you told me that they can understand the man I am" suggests that the person in the mirror is the only one who truly knows and understands the singer. The final line of the song, "So why are we talkin' to each other again?" asks why there is a need for external validation when the true source of understanding comes from within.

Uh, with everything happening today
Despite all the current events taking place today
You don't know whether you're coming or going
It's difficult to keep track of things and understand what's happening
But you think that you're on your way
You believe you are progressing towards your goals
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it (woo)
Don't mess up the opportunities you have by making bad decisions
Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
Pay attention to what I'm saying
You lookin' at me but I'm lookin' through you
You're physically present, but emotionally distant
I see the blood in your eyes
I can see the anger and aggression in your expression
I see the love in disguise
I can see that you're pretending to be someone you're not out of love for someone else
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I can see that you're hurting, but trying to maintain your dignity
I see you're not satisfied
I can see that you are unhappy with yourself
And I don't see nobody else
You're the only one I see that way
I see myself, I'm looking at the
I see myself reflected in you and your struggles

I'm staring at myself in the mirror with you by my side
Through my rise and fall (uh)
Through my successes and failures
You've been my only friend (yeah)
You're the only one who's been there for me
You told me that they can understand the man I am
You said that someone out there can relate to and accept me for who I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
Why are we still struggling even though we've had this conversation before?
I see the truth in your lies
I can see through the facade you're putting up
I see nobody by your side
I can see that you're all alone in your struggles
But I'm with you when you're all alone
Even though no one else is there, I am
And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
You keep me on the right path when I'm losing my way
I see the guilt beneath the shame
I can see that you're feeling guilty for something you did or didn't do

I see you, Lil Wayne, and your struggles
Lookin' at me now I can see my past
Now I see how my past has influenced who I am today
Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad
I can see how I've inherited traits and habits from my father
Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors
I'm using things like smoking and mirrors to hide my true self
I even look good in the broken mirror
Even in my broken state, I can still see beauty in myself
I see my momma smile that's a blessin'
I find joy in making my mother happy
I see the change, I see the message
I see how I've grown and evolved over time and the message that sends
And no message could been any clearer
It's obvious what I need to do and who I need to be
So I'm starting with the man in the
I'm starting with myself and changing who I am
Ayy BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time
I succeeded in taking listeners to a new dimension with this song
Mirror on the wall
I'm still looking at myself in the mirror
Uh
