Mirror Blues
Unraveling Love's Echo: Mirror Blues by Jade Davidson
Lyrics
All I seem to do is research about it
All the speaker does is research the situation.
Trying to find if there's a way for us to come again
Attempting to find a way for the relationship to restart.
All I can do is seem to think about it
The speaker is consumed with thoughts about the relationship.
Becoming a shell of the woman I was beginning to be with open arms
Turning into a mere shell of the woman she was becoming, with open arms.
Well they say that "haste makes waste"
A common saying about the negative consequences of acting hastily.
Baby, I couldn't have been that good, yeah
The speaker questions her own goodness, possibly in relation to the failed relationship.
Oh, If I was I took on too much then I should baby
Admitting to taking on too much, possibly regretting past actions.
Why can't I seem to let it go?
Expressing difficulty in letting go of the past.
It can't be good if we can't let it go now
Suggesting that holding onto the past may not be beneficial.
Why can't I let it go?
Repeating the struggle to let go and move on.
This sounds like one of them hymns you would know
Comparing the situation to a hymn, implying a sense of familiarity or ritual.
Why can't I let it go, babe
Continuing the struggle to release the past.
Now everything that I thought I don't know
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about previously held beliefs.
They want me to join, join their fun
Feeling pressured to join others in their enjoyment.
But there ain't no point babe if there ain't no sun
Stating that having fun is pointless without a positive element, symbolized by the sun.
Now the mirror, I just can't seem to find myself
Struggling to recognize oneself in the mirror.
You don't seem to notice when you are in your own hell
Noticing the difficulties of others when absorbed in one's own problems.
So I waste my time cause it don't seem worth a damn
Feeling that time spent is not valuable.
And I just keep on trying to understand
Persistently trying to understand the situation.
If I hate you so much, why do I act like you?
Questioning why there is resentment if there is still a resemblance of the other person.
If I still crave your touch, what do I do?
Expressing conflicting emotions about desiring physical closeness.
This surely wasn't love, what we gonna do?
Doubting the authenticity of the past love.
Ooh, yeah
Exclamation of emotion, perhaps indicating realization or frustration.
Oooh
Exclamation or vocalization of emotion.
If this was no love I don't know what I'll do
If the relationship wasn't love, uncertainty about the future.
Yeah, cause half and all of me belongs to you
Claiming a significant part of oneself still belongs to the other person.
Said if this ain't no love, I don't know what I'll do
Reiterating uncertainty about the nature of the relationship.
Said I sold my soul back to you
Symbolic gesture of surrendering oneself back to the other person.
Half and the rest of my soul belongs to you
Affirming that a substantial part of the speaker still belongs to the other person.
