“Mirror Man”–track number five of her debut album, Chapter One–consists of jazz, base, funk infused elements, along with Ella Henderson’s vocals demonstrating a sassy side to her.
Henderson has briefly addressed the overall subject behind the song, without being specific as to who it may be:
[“Mir...
[Verse 1]
When we began, you could be so shy
But by the end, you became a different guy
And so I thought your eyes were fixed on me
But now I know, yourself is all you wanna see
[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror man, no one could love you
Better than a mirror can, no
Mirror man, I'll make it easier
For you to understand, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I think you're falling for you
Someone should tell ya the truth
You see perfection in your reflection
And trouble's coming for you
[Post-Chorus]
Mirror man (Mirror man)
Wish I could love you better than a mirror can
[Verse 2]
You would say that I'm your only one
But I would tell you to walk before you run
And I was right, and I realize it now
Guess I'm attracted to the kind that let me down
[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror man, no one could love you
Better than a mirror can, oh no
Mirror man, I'll make it easier
For you to understand, ooh yeah
[Chorus]
I think you're falling for you
Someone should tell ya the truth
You see perfection in your reflection
And trouble's coming for you
[Bridge]
'Cause all this foolish pride
Makes you the ugly guy
And you could try to change
But you've already lost your way
Why don't you hear what I say?
Yeah, yeah-eah
[Chorus]
I think you're falling for you
Someone should tell ya the truth, oh no
You see perfection in your reflection
And trouble's coming for you
[Post-Chorus]
Mirror man (Mirror man)
Wish I could love you better than a mirror can
