GLADES is the the trio project of Sydney based musicians Karina, Cam and Joey, making their debut in mid 2015 with their single 'Falling Away’. The trio met in high school and are passionate about combining the melodic intricacy of Indie, with the catchiness of Pop; from the reverb-laden guitars of The xx to the synthscapes of CHVRCHES and the beats of Lorde.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go and tell em they can catch me if they can
If they ain't tryna be a friend
Then I don't need them
You can catch me on the beach
Got sun on me and got sand up on my feet
They won't ever get no drama outta me
There's something about myself, I like
It wasn't just overnight
To love yourself takes some time
To love myself took some time and now
I'm great, I'm fine
If you ask me I'm doing killer
I see myself a little clearer
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooooh, ooooh
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooooh, ooooh
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Everybody hatin' on the net
I won't take no disrespect
Go and give it all a rest
Cause I don't need them
Turn my cheek and look away
Then I sip my lemonade
That's a game that I don't play
There's something about myself, I like
It wasn't just overnight
To love yourself takes some time
To love myself took some time and now
I'm great, I'm fine
If you ask me I'm doing killer
I see myself a little clearer
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooooh, ooooh
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooooh, ooooh
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooo yea I love myself
I like the way I feel
Ooo yea I love myself
I like the way I feel
Everybody hatin' on the net
I won't take no disrespect
Go and give it all a rest
There's something about myself, I like
It wasn't just overnight
To love yourself takes some time
To love myself took some time and now
I'm great, I'm fine
If you ask me I'm doing killer
I see myself a little clearer
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooooh, ooooh
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
Ooooh, ooooh
Lately I've been dancing in the mirror
In "Dancing in the Mirror" by Glades, the lyrics convey a strong sense of self-empowerment and self-love. The song begins with the singer expressing that everyone seems to be after them, but they confidently challenge others to catch them if they can. They make it clear that they don't need anyone in their life who is not a true friend. The singer then describes finding joy and contentment on the beach, soaking up the sun and feeling the sand between their feet. They emphasize that they won't allow any drama to affect them.
The chorus reveals a transformation that has taken time to achieve. The singer has discovered something about themselves that they truly like, but this self-acceptance didn't happen overnight. It took time for them to learn to love themselves. Now, they feel great and fine, even seeing themselves in a clearer light. The singer describes the experience of dancing in the mirror, possibly indicating that they have found confidence and happiness in their own reflection.
The second verse reinforces the theme of not caring about the negativity that others may project online. The singer refuses to engage in disrespect and chooses to turn away, sipping lemonade and not getting involved in such games. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that self-love and self-acceptance have brought happiness and confidence into their life.

Everybody's after me again
Go tell them they can catch me if they can
If they ain't tryna be your friend

They won't ever get no drama out of me
‘Cause there's somethin' ‘bout myself
[Pre-Chorus]
I like
It wasn't just overnight
To love yourself takes some time
To love myself took some time
And now I'm great, I'm fine
If you ask me, I'm doing killer
I see myself a little clearer

Lately, I've been dancing in the mirror

Loving the new album! I first heard you guys about 4 years ago with "Her (Loving You)" while listening to music at work. In 2019, once Spotify was really taken off, I searched you guys on it for when I drove into work and discovered the entire "This Is What It's Like" and "To Love You" albums and you guys...it SOLD me!! Played it on REPEAT! Your music gives me chills. Which is exactly what I want listening to music. Favs are "Dangerous", "Skylines", "Speechless" and of course the OG "Her (Loving You)" Keep it up, you guys are amazing!
