She's wondering what to wear,
black dress and tied-up hair,
it's hard to think when the phone-calls don't stop.
Throws on her favourite pearls,
and now she texts the girls
'They'll meet outside of the 'Engen One Stop'.

She buys some cigarettes and puts away her change.
She's not wearing underwear,
and that feels strange.
Her only wish is that her name is on the guest-list,
and she doesn't have to wait in line.

Mirror, mirror, mirror ball.
Who'll be the Queen of the Carnival?
He'll be the Prince in her dance-floor affairs.
She'll leave her shoes on the night-club stairs.

Heat wave weather makes the drinks taste better.
The music flows and they dance together.
Cocktail caramel and Mexican sunrise,
Dry Martini with a Whisky surprise.
3am on a medium wave.
How many lives will the DJ save?
He picks the next one,
people follow.
Moving like they don't have to work tomorrow.

Mirror, mirror, mirror ball.
Who'll be the Queen of the Carnival?
He'll be the Prince in her dance-floor affairs.
She'll leave her shoes on the night-club stairs.

Mirror, mirror, mirror ball
Who'll be the Queen of the Carnival?
He'll be the Prince in her dance-floor affairs.
She'll leave her shoes on the night-club stairs...

Mirror, mirror, mirror ball
Who'll be the Queen of the Carnival?
He'll be the Prince in her dance-floor affairs.
She'll leave her shoes on the night-club stairs...

Mirror, mirror, mirror ball
Who'll be the Queen of the Carnival?
He'll be the Prince in her dance-floor affairs.
She'll leave her shoes on the night-club stairs...

Mirror, mirror, mirror ball (6x)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
