One Mirror Too Many Lyrics

From the moment you see
the moment you breath
the moment I touch you

From the moment you crawl
the moment you fall
the instant I loved you again

From the moment of darkness
the moment of light
the second I kissed you

From the moment I enter
the moment I leave
In this moment of rapture

chorus

One mirror to many gonna tie you up
A life forever empty has got to be tough
To many starless night gonna leave you blind
Can never make it right

From the moment you stumble
the moment you run
In your presence I crumble
From the moment it happens
the moment you know
There's no life without you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for One Mirror Too Many lyrics by Black Crowes, The

by ChipChodely

The title makes it obvious.. it’s about cocaine addiction.

I’ve heard this song 100s of time and always dug it. But never listened closely to the lyrics. Now that I have someone that potentially has a cocaine problem in my life does it make sense. It screamed out at me.. I was listening to this song as I was journaling about it.

This song could probably never have been on their first album, but in 1996 they’d had plenty of time in the rock and roll lifestyle. And watch people around them crumble to it.

“Too many starless nights going to leave you blind…” That’s beautiful. He could be referring to not having cocaine eyes and starless being stardustless. Or if you’re not taking in the beauty of the world that’s around you, you’ll always be looking for the next fix.
