Mirror
Trevor Daniel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh I wish I never met you
Cause your picture serves you better
Than you could ever offer
In person, when you're talking
No there's no coming back from it
Every word that you speaks pushing me away

Mirror, mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Tell you what you wanna hear
Just to cover what you hate
What you fearing
Can't drown in the water
That you swim in
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror, mirror

Saying lie to me lie to me
Saying lie to me lie to me
There's some things that you wish I knew
But you're to busy playing cool
There's some things that you wish I knew
But you're to busy playing cool
For that

Mirror, mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Tell you what you wanna hear
Just to cover what you hate
What you fearing
Can't drown in the water
That you swim in

Mirror, mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror, mirror

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trevor Daniel's song "Mirror" tell a story of a relationship gone bad. The singer expresses regret for ever meeting their partner, as they feel that the image of them in pictures is better than the reality of being with them in person. The partner is described as being insincere, saying what the singer wants to hear in order to cover up their own flaws and fears. The singer is pushed away by the partner's every word, and there seems to be no turning back from the damage caused.


The repeated use of the phrase "mirror, mirror, mirror" suggests that the partner is focused on their own reflection and image, rather than on the reality of their relationship or their treatment of the singer. The partner is swimming in their own insecurities and fears, unable to see past their own reflection to truly connect with the singer. The singer asks their partner to lie to them, acknowledging that there are things the partner is hiding and not being truthful about.


Overall, the lyrics to "Mirror" are a poignant reflection on the difficulties of relationships and the toll that insecurity and dishonesty can take. The repeated use of the word "mirror" serves to highlight the importance of self-reflection and self-awareness in healthy relationships.
