Mirrors
Stand Up Stacy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome aboard the ship
Where all the crazy madmen sail
Think you didn't expect
Anything else anyway
It's a pleasure and a joy
To have you finally here
This will be hell of a trip
I guarantee, my dear

And I can only think about
What you got in mind
A blank stare
A crooked smile
As it all rewinds
Key is happiness within
And it is no big deal
With all the mirrors in the world
As they could not reveal
All the stories for those
Who are too old
And all of those we locked away
That we should have told
Think we thought you were
About to find out anyway
As they washed up on the
Shores of Arcadia Bay
And I can only think about
What you got in mind
A blank stare
A crooked smile
As it all rewinds
Key is happiness within
And it is no big deal
With all the mirrors in the world
As they could not reveal
And I can only think about
What you got in mind
A blank stare
A crooked smile
As it all rewinds
Key is happiness within
And it is no big deal

With all the mirrors in the world
As they could not reveal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Mirrors" by Stand Up Stacy reflect a sense of uncertainty and mystery. The song welcomes the listener aboard a ship where "crazy madmen sail," suggesting a chaotic and unpredictable journey. The singer acknowledges that the listener may not have expected anything else, implying that they are open to experiencing the unknown. The line "This will be hell of a trip, I guarantee, my dear" further emphasizes the anticipation and excitement of what lies ahead.

The lyrics then shift to a contemplation of the listener's thoughts and emotions. The singer mentions a "blank stare" and a "crooked smile" as the listener's mind rewinds, suggesting a reflection on past experiences and memories. The key to finding happiness, according to the song, lies within oneself. The mention of "mirrors" symbolizes the idea that external appearances and reflections cannot truly reveal one's inner stories and emotions. It implies that there is a deeper layer to one's identity that cannot be fully understood by simply looking in a mirror.

The lyrics also mention the idea of hidden stories that have been locked away, suggesting that the singer and the listener may have kept secrets from each other. The mention of Arcadia Bay, possibly a reference to the video game "Life is Strange," adds another layer of mystery and alludes to a place where buried truths may be revealed.
