Mirrors
The Gym All-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes we try to act like we're okay
Every day I seem to find another way
Another way to convince myself I'm sane
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all?
Who's the one who will stand tall?
Mirror, mirror I can see
See myself, what I can be
I've been living and it's not easy
Average can't possibly attract me
I find myself in a daze
I find myself way out in space
We all try to find another way
Another way to convince ourselves we're sane
I've been searching for a mate to find
I've been thinking of this place in time
How far do I gotta go to find what's mine?
Let me in your mind, we'll take our time
It might hurt but that's my design
How do I always know how to make you feel fine?
Let me take your flesh for a ride
Deep inside, past the skin tonight
Let me taste something pure and red
I'll love you till you're fucking dead
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all?
Who's the one who will stand tall?
Who's the one that survives the fall?
Mirror, mirror I can see
See myself, what I can be
I've been living and it's not easy
Average can't possibly attract me
I've been searching for a mate to find
I've been thinking of this place in time
How far do I gotta go to find what's mine?
Let me in your mind, we'll take our time
It might hurt but that's my design
How do I always know how to make you feel fine?
I find you lovely in a special way
I'll take your very breath away
I want to hear your heartbeat and us make new secrets
Your touch takes me so far away
I can't accept that you can't stay
I want to taste your saliva, I don't want to wait
Comb
Your desires
Stroke
Choke
We get down to such crazy things
We get around, hate everyone the same
We drink, we curse, we smoke; that's how we play
That's our way of embracing our names
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all?
Who's the one who will stand tall?
Who's the one that survives the fall?
Mirror, mirror I can see
See myself, what I can be
I've been living and it's not easy
Average can't possibly attract me
Mirror, mirror what do you see?
Mirror, mirror bring her to me
The lyrics to "Mirrors" by The Gym All-Stars explore themes of self-reflection, identity, and the desire for recognition and acceptance. The song opens with the acknowledgment that sometimes we change our ways of approaching life, pretending that everything is okay. The singer of the song constantly looks for new ways to convince themselves that they are sane and maintain a sense of stability in their life. The repeated line "Mirror, mirror on the wall" symbolizes the self-doubt and insecurity that they experience, seeking validation and reassurance from an external source.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards a search for a deeper connection and fulfillment. The singer expresses their longing for a partner or a soulmate, someone who can understand them and share their journey. However, there is a darker side to this search, with lines like "Let me take your flesh for a ride" and "I'll love you till you're fucking dead," indicating a desire for intensity and potentially destructive passion.
The chorus reinforces the idea of seeking validation and being exceptional rather than average. The singer wants to see themselves as someone extraordinary and unique, uninterested in mediocrity. The line "How far do I gotta go to find what's mine?" suggests a quest for personal fulfillment, as they try to find their place in the world.
Overall, "Mirrors" explores the complexities of identity, the search for connection, and the desire for self-acceptance.

Reflective surface, what do you reveal or perceive?
Mirror, mirror bring her to me
Reflective surface, allow her presence to be summoned into my reality
