In an interview with 106 KMEL, Bazzi explained:
"The feeling of “Mirror” is such as unspecific feeling to talk about it, because it’s not like sadness, it’s not like being mad but it’s like a weird middle space of just like- you know I don’t like this."
Mirror

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clear my head a little bit
I don't know what I'm looking for
I don't know what to say anymore
Wouldn't call it sad, I wouldn't call it mad
Something is just not right
I don't wanna feel like this anymore
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
I don't wanna feel like this anymore
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know what's wrong
But this feeling so strong, let it go
Wishing I could just forget all the gossip in my head
Couldn't tell you what's missing
Man, it's nothing specific
Just a feeling, I'm tripping
Got me so fucked up
Wish I could lift this up
Oh, no, no, no, no
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
I don't wanna feel like this anymore, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fighting with my mind
Crossing every line
Getting too close
I just gotta breathe
Smoke a little weed
Learn to let it go
I know that I'm meant for more than this
I just gotta leave my head and start to live
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
That man in the mirror can't see
In the mirror can't see me, no
The song "Mirror" by Bazzi presents the theme of inner conflict and a struggle with oneself. The lyrics imply the singer is in a state of confusion and can't seem to find answers to their questions or find a solution to their problems. They want to clear their head but feel stuck, feeling like something is not right, and they don't know what to do.
The chorus, "That man in the mirror ain't me, in the mirror ain't me, no, no," is a reference to the distorted reflection that the singer sees of themselves. They don't recognize themselves in the mirror, indicating a disconnect between their outer persona and their true self. The line "I know that I'm meant for more than this" suggests that they have a sense of greater potential within them, but they are unable to achieve it because they are struggling to let go of the negativity within them.
The bridge of the song reveals how the singer is trying to deal with their inner conflicts by engaging in harmful behaviors such as substance abuse. They acknowledge they are crossing dangerous boundaries, but they can't help themselves. Yet, in the end, they realize that they need to let go of their inner conflicts and start living the life they are meant to live.
