Mirrors
N33t Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right, this is cool
Drift
Drift?
Yeah, so if you wanna do

You say you're moving away
Well that's OK, never liked you anyway (any, way, you, uh!)
You say you're growing up and moving on
That's well and good when you don't know what you've become

Started feeling yourself
Check your mirrors, you'll crash
Leave your head on the ground

Just drive this thing into a lake if you want to
Ignore the consequences, just know you'll get through
You like to think the world is out to get you
But it doesn't matter so

(Yuh) Pick yourself up, it's 'bout time you quit the pity party
Stop the bullshit around, you gotta start staying on your own two feet
And now I wanna see you grow it out inside

Whoa there, toughen up
Time to face it
Give me something else
To believe in

Oh
Something to hold on to
Just a signal, a sign or direction
Show me you understand

Just drive this thing into a lake if you want to
Ignore the consequences, just know you'll get through
You like to think the world is out to get you
But it doesn't matter so (woah)

Let's try again, let's try again, let's try again (woah)
Let's try again, let's try again, let's try again (woah)




You'll get the hang of all this bullshit when you can
So let's try again, let's try again, let's try again
