Mirror
Sigrid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was an emptiness
I think you met me at a strange time and you anchored me
I felt anonymous
And you were someone who reminded me who I used to be

It had to break, I had to go
'Cause it took me walking away to really know
I love who I see looking at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror

I needed loneliness to know there's nothing
That I can't turn into confidence
I couldn't play pretend
And I'm sorry that you had to pay the consequences, oh no

It had to break, I had to go
'Cause it took me walking away to really know

I love who I see looking at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror

I, I-I-I
I-I just fell in love with the person in the mirror
I, I-I-I
I-I just fell in love with the person in the mirror

Well, I love who I see looking at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror
I love who I see looking at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror

I, I-I-I
I-I just fell in love with the person in the mirror




I, I-I-I
I-I just fell in love with the person in the mirror

She is so fresh. The colors, the clothes, the moves and, obviously, the music. Those disco vibes are begging for a remix.
