Mirrors
The Gym All-Stars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes we change the way we pray
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?
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 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 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.
