| Minus the Bear – Into The Mirror Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Obviously the song is about a girl cheating on her boyfriend and cocaine. I think that the girl is having sex with our mystery man in a bathroom at some party for a cocaine high. The man is clearly the one with the cocaine and the girl is having sex with him as some sort of twisted barter system which is bringing joy to the both of them. Both of the individuals are seeking there own "get what you pay for" allusion. She is getting what she pays for because she pleasures this man for "a good high". He is getting what he pays for by providing a little blow for "a good night". I am not sure about the stanza where she sings "She senses the mirror in him", or "She senses the fear in him" as the lyrics are a bit vague and either one presents a different picture. I think my ears believe it is the "senses the fear in him part". As in, she feels her boyfriend knows something may not be as it seems but she allays his fear by giving him a confident, loving kiss to reassure her that everything is normal. The repetition of the opening chorus essentially states that once the night is over, at some later point the girl is in need of a good high and her cocaine providing lover needs another good night and once again they are getting what they both need in the bathroom. Obviously "nobody here knows when to stop" Great creative, thought provoking writing by MTB. |

| I think the song is a representation of losing a girl to someone else. The musical backdrop is dark, not romantic, and the accomplice is referred to in third person terms such as "he" and "him". | |
