Secrets In Mirrors Lyrics
We'll make it worth the while
(How long? How long?)
Speed up and then slow down
But never out of style
(How long? How long?)
Everything is taking way too long
We've gone about this all wrong
I've been waiting
Everything is taking way too long
And I was wrong all along
Maybe we can hide the original
(How long? How long?)
And who needs microphones
When we can sing into mirrors?
(How long? How long?)
Numbers don't have to lie
(How long? How long?)
Liars will let those slide
(How long? How long?)
Everything is taking way too long
We've gone about this all wrong
I've been waiting
Everything is taking way too long
And I was wrong all along
And time after time, I read between the lines
Everything is taking way too long
We've gone about this all wrong
I've been waiting
Everything is taking way too long
And I was wrong all along
i think the chorus is actually "we've gone about this all wrong" instead of "we're gonna love this, hold on"
good song though but not too clear on the meaning...it seems to me it kinda jumps around with different topics but maybe i'm just missing something
this song is clearly about how fake the "scene" is getting, especially when you watch the video. "Speed up and then slow down but never out of style." "Just cut, copy, paste and repeat it Maybe we can hide the original"
and here's the clincher... "And who needs microphones when we can sing into mirrors"
^ exactly what omgitzcurtyb said. Spitalfield is trying to say how everyone is following everyone, and taking a look in the mirror will tell it all.
"Just cut, copy, paste and repeat it Maybe we can hide the original" means how each person copies another and there's really no "original" anymore.
"From time to time, I hear some secrets and time after time, I read between the lines" that's when you're suppose to be changing, hence the "read between the lines" is most likely trying to tell you that not everything is what is seems.
I don't know, I could be completely wrong. but yes, the video does make it a bit more clear..
I really like the video for this song. Too many people have gone "scene" when that's really not their style.
Everyone just follows the crowd these days. There is no such thing as different anymore... It's kind of sad...
