Secrets In Mirrors
Spitalfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll make it worth the while
How long? How long?
Speed up and then slow down
But never out of style.
How long? How long?
I've been waiting
We're gonna love this, hold on
I've been waiting
Everything is taking way too long
And I was wrong all along
Just cut, copy, paste and repeat it
Maybe we can hide the original
How long? How long?
And who needs microphones
When we can sing into mirrors?
How long? How long?
Numbers don't have to lie
How long? How long?
Liars will let those slide
How long? How long?
I've been waiting.
Everything is taking way too long
We're gonna love this, hold on
I've been waiting.
Everything is taking way too long
And I was wrong all along.
From time to time, I hear some secrets
And time after time, I read between the lines
I've been waiting.
Everything is taking way too long
I've been waiting.
Everything is taking way too long
We're gonna love this, hold on
I've been waiting.
Everything is taking way too long
And I was wrong all along.
The song "Secrets in Mirrors" by Spitalfield is about waiting for something and going through the motions of the waiting game with someone who means a lot to you. The opening lines "let's take our time, we'll make it worth the while" suggest a desire to slow down and savor the time spent waiting. The repeated questioning of "how long?" may indicate impatience setting in, but the line "speed up and then slow down but never out of style" suggests that they're trying to find a pace that works for them.
The references to copying and pasting, and singing into mirrors, suggest that the wait is for something creative, like a song or a project, and that they're trying to find a way to perfect it. The line "numbers don't have to lie, liars will let those slide" suggests a desire for honesty and transparency, which could be important in creative collaborations.
The repeated line "I've been waiting, everything is taking way too long" suggests that the wait is starting to wear on the singer, but they still believe that in the end, it will all be worth it. The final lines "from time to time I hear some secrets, and time after time, I read between the lines" suggest that the singer may be privy to some inside information, but they're still trying to make sense of it all, and the wait continues.

That might be cliché but I am thankful to my 2007 Walkman that made me discover this song. It's rock solid, still works with a decent battery life up to this day. I am going to do my best to keep it alive as long as it goes.

I would never have known this song if it weren’t for the Walkman! My best friend had one in grade 6 and this song was on it and we listened to it together!
