Broken Mirror Lyrics

I don't want to be broken and quiet
Shut off and tired at times, but I am
I don't wanna be distant and cold
'Til nobody knows the person I am

Well, maybe a drop into my lemonade
A bitter taste, the pain away
Just something to thin the blood
I don't want to be woken up

I am a broken mirror, shut my eyes
And I'm a different person every night
I am a broken mirror, shut my eyes
And I'm a different person every night

I am a broken mirror, shut my eyes
And I'm a different person every night
I wanna burn it, rip off my disguise
And I'm a different person every night
In my head
In my head
In my head
In my head

I wanna be the life and the soul
Of every cold room that I touch
I wanna be acting the fool
Subtle and cool, it's all that I want

So slip a drop into my lemonade
But nothing takes the pain away
And I know that you understand
I don't wanna be who I am

I am a broken mirror, shut my eyes
And I'm a different person every night
I am a broken mirror, shut my eyes
And I'm a different person every night

I am a broken mirror, shut my eyes
And I'm a different person every night
I wanna burn it, rip off my disguise
And I'm a different person every night
In my head
In my head
In my head
In my head

In my head
In my head
In my head
In my head

In my head
In my head

What is the Meaning of Broken Mirror?

Identity struggles and internal turmoil take center stage in this deeply personal exploration of self-perception and escapism. The song delves into the experience of someone who feels disconnected from their authentic self, comparing their identity to a broken mirror that reflects different versions of themselves each night. The narrator expresses a desire to be more outgoing and vibrant but feels trapped in a state of emotional numbness and isolation. The references to "dropping something in lemonade" suggest turning to substances as a coping mechanism, though acknowledging this doesn't truly solve their problems. The repetitive phrase "in my head" emphasizes how these struggles are largely internal battles. Ultimately, the song captures the universal experience of wanting to break free from one's perceived limitations while grappling with feelings of being inauthentic or fragmented.
