Mirror Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you were the aftermath
Of every judgment
So cold by the sweat that
You'll waste away
And you carry your enemies
But they're so familiar
I'm sick of the company
So I cull the shame
[Chorus: Porter Robinson, Narrator]
And I know you'll say how I'm a burden
Yeah, do your worst all at once
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking
And it's not the voice of all the others
You've only said it to yourself
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking
They come to feel like things we're saying to ourselves
[Verse 2]
An inch from my ears again
"You should be sorry"
A solemn man
"A better song could fix my problems"
I'm tired of your questioning
You're cut down too easily
And I don't know what's good for me
I can't decide
[Chorus: Porter Robinson, Narrator]
And I know you'll say how I'm a burden
Yeah, do your worst all at once
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking
And though they sound like one another
You've only said it to yourself
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking
"Now these voices have become our own"
[Bridge]
An inch from my ears again
"You should be sorry"
A solemn man
"A better song could fix my problems"
I'm tired of your questioning
You're cut down too easily
And I don't know what's good for me
I can't decide
[Chorus]
And I know you'll say how I'm a burden
Yeah, do your worst all at once
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking
And it's not the voice of all the others
You've only said it to yourself
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking (Thinking, thinking, thinking)
And I know you'll say how I'm a burden
Yeah, do your worst all at once
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking (Thinking, thinking, thinking)
And though they sound like one another
You've only said it to yourself
I know what you want from me, from me
I know what you're thinking
(Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, think—)
[Outro: Narrator]
Sometimes, the inner voice is encouraging
Calling for you to run those final few yards
You're nearly there, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
It will all be okay in the end

had a nice cry this morning, thanks so much for listening to mirror. >_<
i genuinely braced myself for this one, because i’ve always thought of Mirror as a bit of a grower. the initial reaction has been so positive though — i’m grateful and seriously over the moon

What have the artists said about the song?
This song is about my critical inner voice and how much it was affecting me. I realised I had these inner demons that were represented by the nastiest things somebody might say to me on Twitter, or the meanest things music critics might say. And they got in my head. They affected me creatively, beca...
