Lyrics
Looking in the mirror for somebody else who's just not there
Reflecting on the search for someone else in the mirror, an idealized version that doesn't exist.
Well I've not got the life he has, the looks or words
Expressing envy for another person's life, appearance, and eloquence.
Well I could never be as good him
Acknowledging the perceived superiority of the person being compared to.
He's talented and slim
Highlighting the talents and physical fitness of the person being compared to.
I'd settle for a third
Being willing to settle for a lesser position, emphasizing a sense of inadequacy.
Looking in the mirror for somebody else and all I see
Finding oneself in the mirror again, focusing on unfulfilled dreams from the past.
Are the dreams I held five years ago
Reflecting on aspirations held five years ago, now appearing as fleeting and insignificant.
Dust in the breeze
Comparing past dreams to dust in the breeze, suggesting their transience and fading away.
And I'm aware that my potential
Acknowledging a decline in personal potential over time.
Decreases without exception annually
Recognizing a consistent decrease in capabilities each year without exception.
I want honest work and a simple life
Desiring a straightforward life with honest work and a sincere life partner.
And an honest girl to make my wife
Expressing the wish for an honest and genuine relationship leading to marriage.
And move somewhere nice
Expressing a desire to relocate to a pleasant place, specifically the English countryside.
The English countryside
Envisioning a move to the idyllic English countryside for a better life.
Looking in the mirror and I realise I'm wasting time
Realizing the passage of time and recognizing the squandering of opportunities.
There's all these things I want to do but I rot inside
Feeling a sense of decay internally while having unfulfilled ambitions.
Eating shit, watching TV
Engaging in unproductive activities like watching TV and self-sabotaging.
Being my own worst enemy
Acknowledging personal flaws and behaviors as obstacles to progress.
As life passes by
Reflecting on the swift passage of time and missed opportunities.
But my mistakes could just be yesterday
Suggesting that current mistakes may be seen as past events in the future.
A better me's only a day away
Expressing hope for self-improvement, anticipating a better self in the future.
My mistakes could just be yesterday
Reiterating the potential for positive change, emphasizing a short time frame.
Looking in the mirror and my better self is telling me
Being encouraged by a better self in the mirror to pursue past dreams.
The dreams I held five years ago can still be achieved
Rekindling hope that dreams from five years ago can still be accomplished.
If I stop procrastinating
Recognizing the need to overcome procrastination to achieve aspirations.
And self deprecating
Identifying self-deprecating tendencies as hindrances to progress.
And I believe
Emphasizing the importance of belief in oneself for positive change.
A better me's only a day away
Reiterating the theme of potential improvement, emphasizing the near future.
Though my mistakes are only yesterday
Acknowledging past mistakes while maintaining hope for a better future.
A better me's only a day away
Reaffirming the belief that positive change is imminent, even after past errors.
