Digging on the wall
cnd now your standing
But your no 10 feet tall
I used to trade Pennie's for dimes
When You come around
But now you safely door to door
Oooooooo
Ooo
So you don't lie ?
cnd
Youuuuuu
Bleed right through the lines
Come see eye to eye
With me
Oh and you can break every chain
That's already been broken
Oh and I can tell by the door
That the days are closing
I
Shoulda known
Shoulda known
Who you were from the get go
But now we'll never know
cnd now your numbered days
cre on
When high wind wooden statues turned to stone
No matter
What lies beneath me
Or what lies ahead
Ive said it right
In the dead
Of the night
Oh and you can break every chain that's already been broken
Oh and I can tell by the door that days are closing
I
Shoulda known
Shoulda known
Who you were from the get go
But now we'll never know
Don't look back in the mirror
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I can see the same doesn't make it any clearer
Oh
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
Oh I can see it
Oh I can see it
Surface to the edge
Of a line
Start another life
Maybe wanna die
To dine
In my arms
Pull the fire alarms
In my head
What I think you said
Tell me do you think im Drowning
I know your easy downing
You can call me up
When you wanna be consumed for the rest of your life
The lyrics of okaywill's song "Don't Look in the Mirror" can be interpreted as a reflection on past relationships and the realization of someone's true nature. The opening lines "I've touched a bone, Digging on the wall" suggest a sense of digging deep and uncovering truths. The following line "And now you're standing, but you're not ten feet tall" indicates that the person being referred to is not as impressive or intimidating as they may have initially seemed.
The next lines "I used to trade Pennie's for dimes, When you come around" could be metaphorical, symbolizing how the singer used to give more value to this person's presence, but now they have become more cautious and guarded. The line "But now you safely door to door, a change in sound" suggests that the person has become more predictable and ordinary.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of deception and seeing through someone's facade. With lines like "So you don't lie? You bleed right through the lines" and "Come see eye to eye with me," it implies that the singer wants honesty and transparency in the relationship.
The second verse continues to explore the theme of deception, with the lines "I should've known who you were from the get-go, but now we'll never know." This emphasizes the regret of not realizing the person's true nature earlier. The final lines of the verse "When high wind wooden statues turned to stone, No matter what lies beneath me, Or what lies ahead, I've said it right in the dead of the night" may symbolize the realization that no matter what has happened or what is to come, the singer has spoken their truth in a moment of clarity.
The repetition of the phrase "Don't look back in the mirror" in the bridge and the final chorus could represent a warning to the singer themselves, urging them to move forward and not dwell on past mistakes or toxic relationships. The line "I can see the same doesn't make it any clearer" suggests that revisiting the past won't bring clarity or closure.
Overall, "Don't Look in the Mirror" explores themes of deception, self-discovery, regret, and the need for honesty and authenticity in relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
I've touched a bone
I have encountered something deep and unsettling
Digging on the wall
Exploring the hidden aspects of my surroundings
And now you're standing
You are present and visible
But you're not 10 feet tall
Your impact and influence are not as great as you believe
I used to trade Pennies for dimes
I used to exchange small things for something better
When You come around
When you are present in my life
But now you safely door to door
But now you move cautiously and predictably from place to place
C change in sound
A noticeable shift in the way things are expressed
Oooooooo
Expressing a moment of realization or realization
Ooo
An expression of surprise or intrigue
So you don't lie ?
Are you being truthful?
Youuuuuu
Expressing emphasis or intensity
Bleed right through the lines
Truth and emotion are clearly visible in your words
Come see eye to eye
Let us have a genuine and honest connection
With me
In my presence or company
Oh and you can break every chain
You have the ability to free yourself from constraints
That's already been broken
Even though the chains are already shattered
Oh and I can tell by the door
From the appearance of the door, I can sense
That the days are closing
That time is running out
I Shoulda known
I should have realized
Who you were from the get go
Your true nature from the very beginning
But now we'll never know
But now it is too late to find out
And now your numbered days
Your days are limited
Are on
Approaching or arriving
When high wind wooden statues turned to stone
When once lively and expressive figures became lifeless and unchanging
No matter
Regardless of
What lies beneath me
What secrets or truths are hidden beneath the surface
Or what lies ahead
Or what challenges or opportunities are in the future
I've said it right
I have stated it clearly and accurately
In the dead
In the darkest or most silent moments
Of the night
During the nighttime hours
Don't look back in the mirror
Do not dwell on the past or past reflections
I can see you don't look back in the mirror
I perceive that you avoid reflecting on your past
I can see the same doesn't make it any clearer
I can understand that repeating the same actions does not bring clarity
Surface to the edge
From the visible surface to the limit or boundary
Of a line
Of a boundary or division
Start another life
Begin anew and leave the past behind
Maybe wanna die
Possibly hoping for an end to the current state
To dine
To indulge or partake in something desirable
In my arms
In my embrace or protection
Pull the fire alarms
Take decisive action or create a disturbance
In my head
Within my thoughts or mind
What I think you said
Interpreting or recalling your words as I understand them
Tell me do you think I'm Drowning
Is your perception that I am struggling or overwhelmed
I know your easy downing
I acknowledge that you find it effortless to bring me down
You can call me up
You have the ability to contact me
When you wanna be consumed for the rest of your life
When you desire to be engrossed or absorbed indefinitely
