Mirrors
Second Nature Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a stranger
In the mirror
I don't recognize who this is anymore

I've become a stranger to myself
I can't seem to find peace in my own skin
I don't know
Who I am
Is there no one left to save me?

Breathe in
Breathe out
My whole life feels like a blur
A battle within myself
Can't control my own head
Wishing I could just
Separate

Breathe in and
Breathe out
I'm tryin' to change for the better
Rip away my old self

I had to pick myself up
Before the world dragged me down
It's either stay on the ground or
Rise above

Breathe in
Breathe out
I'm swear I'm changing for the better
Breathe in
Breathe out
I'm swear I'm changing for the better

Breathe in
Breathe out
I'm tryin' to change for the better
Rip away my old self





Finally free from my old self

Overall Meaning

The singer begins by acknowledging their disconnect from the person they see in the mirror. They feel like a stranger, not recognizing who they have become. This feeling of being unfamiliar with oneself leads to a sense of inner turmoil and a desperate search to find peace and identity. The line "Is there no one left to save me?" conveys a sense of loneliness and a plea for help.


The chorus emphasizes the struggle that the singer is experiencing, comparing it to a blur and a battle within themselves. They feel like they have lost control over their own thoughts and emotions, desperately wanting to separate from their current state. However, amidst the chaos, they express a desire for change and growth. They want to shed their old self and become a better version of who they are.


The second verse continues with the theme of personal empowerment and resilience. The singer realizes that they had to lift themselves up before being dragged down by the world. They are faced with a choice - to remain on the ground or to rise above their circumstances. The repeated lines "Breathe in, breathe out" signify an effort to calm and center oneself in the midst of transformation.


The climax of the song comes in the final lines, where the singer declares their freedom from their old self. This signifies a triumphant breakthrough and a newfound sense of liberation.
