Mirrors
Tom Budin feat. Stevyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And without fail we found our trail had run out of road,
The faulty installation on which we built this love,
Caused our inevitable deterioration,
And here is where I draw the line,
No more lies I self-inscribe,
The mirror holds me as who I perceive I am.
The lyrics to Tom Budin ft. Stevyn's song "Mirrors" are evocative and poignant. The singer confesses to having taken their relationship to its absolute limit, and yet, it's not quite enough to save it. They describe their ride on an unforgiving river, one that led them to the end of the trail. Despite their best efforts, they found themselves stranded on faulty installation - symbolic of their relationship that was maybe built on shaky grounds. The baggage they carried along the way eventually led to their inevitable deterioration.
But, the singer has had enough. They've reached the point where they can't put up with the situation anymore. They draw a line and refuse to take any more lies. The mirror they look at - perhaps metaphorically - holds the person they believe they are, and it's this self-inscription that guides them. In many ways, the lyrics capture a moment of reckoning, where someone confronts the reality of their relationship and decides to walk away from it.
The song is a reminder that sometimes, no matter how much we want to patch things up, some cracks are too deep to fix. The struggle of trying to hold onto a relationship that's run its course is a universal one, and the lyrics capture that feeling of uncertainty and doubt. The repeated refrain of "the mirror holds me" emphasizes the need for self-reflection and introspection, traits that are essential to move on from a difficult situation.

I rode that river as deep as it would go,
I put my all into this relationship.
And without fail we found our trail had run out of road,
But unfortunately, it came to a dead end.
The faulty installation on which we built this love,
Our love was built on an unstable foundation.
Caused our inevitable deterioration,
Which ultimately led to our downfall.
And here is where I draw the line,
But now I have had enough.
No more lies I self-inscribe,
I am done with the dishonesty.
The mirror holds me as who I perceive I am.
I am now seeing myself for who I truly am.
