Mirrors Edge
Mike Posner Lyrics

It feels like I'm running on walls
Feeling in control and unstoppable, like the ability to run effortlessly on walls.

And I don't want to touch the ground.
Disinterest in being ordinary or settling for less than greatness.

If they say that I'm lost,
Criticism and negative talk do not define who they are.

Then I don't want to be found.
Willingness to embrace their unique journey, regardless of others' expectations.

It's a getting green, but I can't wake up.
Feeling trapped in a situation or environment despite financial success.

Sitting in a bank, but I can't take up.
Feeling trapped in a job or career despite financial success.

Don't want my girl, but I can't break up.
Being stuck in a relationship, despite dissatisfaction, due to fear or attachment.

Cuz my every day life, I don't want to shake up.
Feeling content with comfort and routine, but wanting more excitement in life.

Feel the earth wake up,
Feeling energized or ready for something new to happen.

Wont stay still.
Feeling restless and motivated to keep moving forward, despite challenges.

Haters all around, but I wont stay trill.
Being surrounded by negativity or opposition, but refusing to let it bring them down.

All up in my face trying to show their skill.
Feeling pressured or threatened by others' abilities or successes.

Say they don't love, but I know they will
Others may pretend not to care or be supportive, but deep down they truly do.

Before the show is over and the lights go out.
Making the most of every opportunity before it's too late or the moment passes.

After I rec on the mic show out.
Performing to the best of their abilities and leaving a lasting impression.

Married to the mob, so wives throw out.
Being deeply involved in a particular lifestyle or group, and distancing oneself from others who do not understand or accept it.

Game all over that's right blow out
Having achieved everything possible in the given situation or industry, and moving on to new challenges.

What you know about getting raise
Asking what others know about achieving success in life or work.

We'd done thought of life fifteen ways
Having considered multiple paths in life and recognizing the value in being flexible and adaptable.

So blaze up the end oh
Embracing the present moment and enjoying life to the fullest.

While I'm sitting on the ceiling with the j's on the window.
Feeling on top of the world and enjoying the view, despite the haters.

Escalade, get paid,
Having achieved financial success and recognition for their hard work.

Nigga had to learn from mistakes I made.
Acknowledging past mistakes and using them as motivators for growth and self-improvement.

Dad couldn't teach me he was layin in grave.
Recognizing the fact that they had to learn many lessons on their own, without the guidance of a parent or mentor.

I didn't look der
Having faith that a higher power or God will forgive their mistakes and guide them on their journey.

Hope God forgave.
Having faith that a higher power or God will forgive their mistakes and guide them on their journey.

Now tell momma I'm on my way
Making progress in life and wanting to share that success with loved ones.

Tell me where she be her best.
Wanting to visit or connect with loved ones in their happiest or most comfortable environment.

Got me out the hood, I recess.
Having overcome challenging circumstances or environments to achieve success and move on to better things.

Ii smoke a lil weed to relieve my stress.
Using a coping mechanism to deal with the pressure and stress of a high-pressure situation.

Stackin 'em, makin out to perfect.
Continuously striving for perfection and improvement, even in the midst of success.

I got a new cadi out of my first bitch, persist.
Having achieved success and rewards for persistence and hard work, despite past challenges or setbacks.

Lil purple,
Referring to a specific type of drug or substance.

Seven in the alley, I took that risk.
Having made bold or risky decisions in order to achieve success or move forward in life.

Runnin in a circle,
Feeling stuck or trapped in a situation or environment, without making progress or moving forward.

Runnin out of town,
Feeling the need to escape a particular situation or environment.

South side nigga just wanna flip me.
Feeling the pressure of competition or opposition from others in their industry or environment.

Rich mothafucker thats all that is,
Acknowledging wealth and success, but recognizing the importance of humility and perspective.

I survived that now I feel like this.
Having overcome challenges or obstacles in the past, and feeling more confident and capable as a result.

Looking out the window at another city's lights
Feeling lonely and disconnected, while observing the world outside.

Trying to make it home on another lonely flight
Feeling disconnected and disoriented, while constantly moving and traveling.

Because I'm runnin, runnin trying to my way
Continuously striving for success and improvement, despite the challenges and obstacles in their path.

But there's nothing, nothing, noting
Feeling like there are no guarantees, or that nothing in life is certain or easy.

I can say to find you on theses day.
Feeling lost or disconnected from others, and unsure how to reconnect or find meaning in their relationships.

Mirrors on my walls
Surrounded by reflections of themselves or their successes.

In my new apartment.
Starting fresh and enjoying the freedom of new beginnings.

I never touch the floor,
Feeling elevated and above the challenges or obstacles in life.

I'm like a lattice carpet.
Having a unique or intricate personality or style, that is both durable and beautiful.

I'm feeling like a star,
Feeling confident and recognized for their talents and hard work.

But I'm remaining careless.
Being humble and not letting success or fame get to their head, while still enjoying the ride.

Cuz I can run on walls like I am Lucy Ballise.
Having the ability to do things others cannot, and feeling unstoppable because of it.

They be saying I'm the next
Recognizing that others see their potential and success, and working hard to live up to those expectations.

And I'm just hoping that is true.
Hoping to fulfill their potential and become a successful and influential figure in their industry or community.

I took my number got in line
Standing up and taking a chance on themselves, rather than waiting for someone else to give them an opportunity.

Just hoping I ain't number two.
Working hard to be the best, and not settling for anything less than success and recognition.

So, you ask how I feel. I'm fine.
Being confident and successful, despite others' doubts or criticisms.

You ask about the deal in time
Being curious about how their future success and opportunities will unfold over time.

Cuz the boy from Kansas ran on the ground
Having overcome challenges and obstacles in the past, and using those experiences to drive future success and determination.

On enough now..
Feeling content and fulfilled with their current level of success and progress.
