Mirrors
Street Urchinz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can′t disguise who you are inside forever
Yes and now I can see that you're headed for a wrong turn
Well love can save you from the lies, spare you from a burn
Well don′t you know your mirror never lied
What are you trying to hide
Way down deep inside
What are you trying to hide
Way down deep inside
I'm tired of feeling crazy and wanting to be someone else
You′re hanging with the wrong crowd and can′t even recognize yourself
You know the right from the wrong
The black from the white and the gray
The mirrors show you've become everything that you hate
Well don′t you know your mirror never lied
What are you trying to hide
Way down deep inside
Well don't you know your mirror never lied
What are you trying to hide
Way down deep inside
Don′t you know your mirror never lied
What are you trying to hide
Way down deep inside
Don't you know your mirror never lied
What are you trying to hide
Way down deep inside
The song "Mirrors" by Street Urchinz talks about the concept of self-reflection and accepting oneself for who they truly are. The first verse highlights how some individuals push themselves through hard situations and try to hide their true selves from the world. Although this may work for a certain amount of time, it is impossible to keep up the façade forever. The chorus emphasizes that one's reflection in the mirror never lies and asks the question "what are you trying to hide way down deep inside?" It is a metaphorical representation of how one should take a good look at themselves and come to terms with their true identity.
In the second verse, the lyrics discuss how surrounding oneself with the wrong people and negative influences can cause someone to lose track of who they are. The line "the mirrors show you've become everything that you hate" further emphasizes how one's negative choices and actions can lead to losing sight of one's true self. The chorus repeats again, reminding the listener that self-reflection and acceptance are crucial for personal growth and inner peace.
