Drop The Mirror Lyrics

"turn," he said, "remove that veil, you're fading in the head.
And take off that slip and slip into my heaviness of skin,
And I'll be your disguise, yeah I'll be your disguise
Believe now in what you see, 'cos seeing me is all you'll ever be,
and shhhh baby don't you think, I'll close your eyes so you need not to blink.
And I'll be your disguise, yeah I'll be your disguise

'Cos baby who will come more than a mile to put a rose on withered cheeks that hide no smile?
And if the paint don't satisfy you know you can hide in me until you get it right.
So drop the mirror, look at me...

...with polished eyes. An unnecessary feature 'cos I am fine but this talent that you'll learn will soon be your deflection of the hurt and I'll numb your demise, yeah I'll numb your demise


'Cos baby who will come more than a mile to put a rose on withered cheeks that hide no smile?
And if the paint don't satisfy you know you can hide in me until you get it right.
So drop the mirror, look at me...

'Cos baby who will come more than a mile to put a rose on withered cheeks that hide no smile?
And if the paint don't satisfy you know you can hide in me until you get it right."

I disagree, i think this song is about a relationship where the girl is too critical on herself and the guy is trying to show her that she's already perfect for him. When it says "drop the mirror" i think the guy is saying stop being so hard on yourself and look at me because i can see who you really are.

Well for all of those who are wondering, its obviously a love triangle song. The girl obviously wants attention, because the guy is paying too much attention to himself. Hes like... narcissistic.. Hence "Drop the mirror, look at me"

I agree with Ello. :)

Hmmm, I get this controlling vibe from the guy. Like he's saying she's not tough enough to handle it, but if she just let's him do everything for her she will be better off. Like he's the only one that can help her.

I agree with jjm, that's what I always got out of it too. I imagine this sort of codependent relationship where the girl has low self esteem, the guy is kinda controlling, he's telling her he's all she needs, and his opinion of her should be the only one she should be basing her value off of. When it says drop the mirror, he's saying that she needs to stop being concerned about herself, and focus entirely on him (which if you ask me, is good in theory but makes for a really f'd up relationship).
