Sonny Bo & Jhené Aiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I'm your re-, mm
Ayy, ayy-ayy, okay
If I'm your reflection
Then, baby, you must be an angel
'Cause when the light hits you just right
One could mistake you for a star
Better to consider all of the good things
A glimpse in the mirror, yeah
To make sure you are still there
Yeah
But then the night takes over
And you are nowhere to be found
Your face in broken pieces
Don't you look down
Don't you look down
Ashamed I couldn't see this
Comin' around
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
You're my reflection
So tell me, why can't you be more clear?
What's up with all these tears?
Can't be regrettin', all that you've done
And have undone, that shit don't matter here
What's up with all your fears? (Ohh)
You better consider, all of the good times
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
A glimpse from the mirror, yeah
To tell me you're just fine
Alright
But then the night takes over
And there is no one else around
You're facin' broken pieces
Don't you look down
The song "Mirrors" by Sonny Bo & Jhené Aiko is a reflection on the ups and downs of a relationship. The song starts off with Sonny Bo acknowledging that he sees himself in his partner, and if he's reflecting on her, then she must be an angel. He describes her as a star, shining bright, and it is clear that she means a lot to him. He urges her to keep looking at herself in the mirror, to make sure she's still there. However, as the night takes over, she slowly disappears. Her face is now in broken pieces, and she looks down in ashamed. Sonny Bo acknowledges that he couldn't see this coming and he didn't expect this from her.
In the second verse, Jhené Aiko takes on the role of the mirror, asking why the reflection isn't clearer. She questions why there are so many tears and fears, and urges the reflection to focus on the good times, not the regrets and mistakes. Jhené Aiko urges the reflection to tell her that she's just fine, and to not look down. However, as the night takes over again, the reflection becomes broken, and Jhené Aiko urges her to not look down once again.
Overall, "Mirrors" is a song that explores the concept of reflection and how it affects a relationship. It's a reminder to appreciate the good times, but also to acknowledge the challenges that come with relationships and to work through them together.

If I'm your reflection
If I am a reflection of you
Then, baby, you must be an angel
Therefore, you are an angelic being
'Cause when the light hits you just right
When the light shines upon you in a precise way
One could mistake you for a star
You have a star-like brilliance
That is exactly what you are
You truly are radiant
Better to consider all of the good things
It is important to focus on positive attributes
A glimpse in the mirror, yeah
A quick look in the mirror
To make sure you are still there
To confirm your existence
But then the night takes over
However, when darkness falls
And you are nowhere to be found
You become unavailable
Your face is broken pieces
Your visage is damaged
Don't you look down
Do not act ashamed
Don't you look down
Do not feel ashamed
Ashamed I couldn't see this
I regret not having noticed this before
Comin' around
As it became more apparent
You're my reflection
You are also my reflection
So tell me, why can't you be more clear?
Explain why you are unclear
What's up with all these tears?
Why are you crying?
Can't be regrettin', all that you've done
You cannot regret what you have done
And have undone, that shit don't matter here
Whether you have undone things already done is irrelevant here
What's up with all your fears? (Ohh)
Why are you so afraid?
You better consider, all of the good times
You should contemplate the happy times
A glimpse from the mirror, yeah
A quick check in the mirror
To tell me you're just fine
To assure me that you are okay
But then the night takes over
But once darkness falls
And there is no one else around
And there is no one else present
You're facin' broken pieces
You confront shattered pieces
Don't you look down
Do not act ashamed
