I recommend you to hear the song first, so that you can experience, and understand the feeling.
The Meaning of The Song
Do you have any idea to describe his video clip on your first sight? Or perhaps, wasn't it your first time?
This masterpiece came out from a singer, Justin Timberlake. It is one of a bunch of songs he had created in his third studio album as he named it "20/20 Experience". I am interested on his work, especially this one, and committed to pick it up as my discussion.
As it is meaningful and deep, he literally made it for purpose. After the time he married a nymph of his heart, Jessica Biel who is also an actress, he began to shed his feelings through her by a song. The time passed by, he let the song finished and named it "Mirrors". He did not mention her name in the lyrics, but posted on a website that the song was actually related to his wife.

"It's definitely a special song for me. 'Mirrors' is a love song to someone that you feel like is, sort of your other half. And it became a play on that. Not specifically about looking into a mirror. One of the most valuable things in a relationship is being able to constantly change and be individual, but look to the other side to the person that you're with and know that they're changing as well individually, but somehow you two can mirror each other and be the other half of that world that you both create. I think a relationship, when it's working, is constantly evolving because we as individuals evolve. You want to know that the person you're with is evolving with you. People change like seasons. We're always growing, always evolving, and to know that the other half of a special part of your life is, like I said, mirroring you, but also being an individual in their own way."
"I’ve heard a little bit from people around me that it could be a good wedding song, [laugh] which… hey, that’s awesome! I find it interesting, too, that in wedding vows, you say “I do” when I feel like what you should say is, “I will” because I think a relationship, when it’s working, it’s constantly evolving because we, as individuals, evolve and want to know that person that you’re with is evolving with you. People change like the seasons, we’re always growing, we’re always evolving, and to know that the other half of that special part of your life is, you know like I said, mirroring you but also being an individual in their own way… that’s the balance. That’s really what the song is about."

It sounds great that actually he tried to convince people if our partner (or at least his) is a part of our soul, our life, that you can't live without and make yourself special. Because it feels like there is someone who need you and wait there to be loved and cared, it seems like your life is a blessing and has its own meaning for someone else. More interestingly, the way he sing, "And now it's clear as this promise, that we're making two reflections into one," made me, undoubtedly, concluded that what he really intended to convey was about his marriage of his wife as he perceived it a fusion between two people with different characters, background, and even, her past.

The Lyrics of MirrorsAren't you somethin' to admire? 'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror And I can't help but notice You reflect in this heart of mine If you ever feel alone and The glare makes me hard to find Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side 'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go Just put your hand on the glass I'll be tryin' to pull you through You just gotta be strong 'Cause I don't wanna lose you now I'm lookin' right at the other half of me The vacancy that sat in my heart Is a space that now you hold Show me how to fight for now And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy Comin' back here to you once I figured it out You were right here all along It's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me I couldn't get any bigger With anyone else beside of me And now it's clear as this promise That we're making two reflections into one 'Cause it's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me Aren't you somethin', an original 'Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled And I can't help but stare, 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes I can't ever change without you You reflect me, I love that about you And if I could, I would look at us all the time 'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go Just put your hand on the glass I'll be tryin' to pull you through You just gotta be strong 'Cause I don't wanna lose you now I'm lookin' right at the other half of me The vacancy that sat in my heart Is a space that now you hold Show me how to fight for now And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy Comin' back into you once I figured it out You were right here all along It's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me I couldn't get any bigger With anyone else beside of me And now it's clear as this promise That we're making two reflections into one 'Cause it's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me Yesterday is history Tomorrow's a mystery I can see you lookin' back at me Keep your eyes on me Baby, keep your eyes on me 'Cause I don't wanna lose you now I'm lookin' right at the other half of me The vacancy that sat in my heart Is a space that now you hold Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby) I'll tell you, baby, it was easy Comin' back into you once I figured it out You were right here all along It's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me I couldn't get any bigger With anyone else beside of me And now it's clear as this promise That we're making two reflections into one 'Cause it's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me You are, you are the love of my life [x10] Now you're the inspiration of this precious song And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home Just to let you know, you are You are, you are the love of my life [x8] Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you My reflection, in everything I do You're my reflection and all I see is you My reflection, in everything I do You are, you are the love of my life [x16] Source: https://thejtexperience.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/justin-explains-songs/ http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/justintimberlake/mirrors.html |
