Mirror
Rama Writes 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 (Whoo!)
Look at me when I'm talking 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 lookin' at the
Mirror on the wall
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
Talking to each other again?
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 windowpane
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne
I'm looking 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 (misunderstood)
Talking to each other again?
Looking at me now, I can see my past
Dang, I look just like my no good Dad
Light it up, that's smoke in mirrors
I even look good in a broken mirror
I see my Mama's smile, that's a blessing
I see the change; I see the message
And no message coulda 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 (uh)
You've been my only friend (take 'em to Mars, man)
You told me that they can
understand the man I am
So why are we here
Talking to each other again?
Mirror on the wall
Here we are again (yeah)
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend (any questions)
You told me that they can (I come to you)
Understand the man I am (you always have the answer)
So why are we here
Talking to each other again?




Mirror on the wall (Hey BP, looks like I did take 'em to Mars this time)
So why are we talking to each other again?

Overall Meaning

The song Mirror by Rama Writes ft. Bruno Mars is about the perplexity of life and finding oneself. The lyrics describe how one can get lost in the chaos that life sometimes presents, and how it's easy to mask one's true feelings and intentions. The phrase "life lined up on the mirror" signifies how one views their life and themselves through the reflection in a mirror. The line "Look at me when I'm talking to you, you looking at me, but I'm looking through you" means that one is trying to communicate but the other person is not really present, they are lost in their thoughts.


The lyrics go on to explain the struggles and pain people go through, which are hidden beneath their pride and love in disguise. The song also speaks about seeing the truth in lies, and realizing that one has no one else but themselves. The line "I see myself" brings the focus back to the individual's self-reflection. The chorus "Mirror on the wall, here we are again through my rise and fall, you've been my only friend" conveys the importance of self-reflection and how one's reflection is the only true friend they have.


Overall, the song's message is about self-reflection, acknowledging one's struggles, and finding oneself. It is a reminder that during difficult times, we should turn to ourselves for support and guidance.
