Lil Wayne: Mirror Meaning
Song Released: 2011
Mirror Lyrics
With everything happening today..
You don't know whether your coming or going but..
You think that your on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it..
Look at me when I'm talking to you..
You...

To understand this song, you must have a clear understanding of how human perception works through personal experience.
Throughout my day, I notice what other people are hiding. Not trying to look for them on purpose, but they try too hard to hide it, and gets noticed.
It is usually actions or words they use to abruptly change the flow of situations.
The guy making condescending jokes at people he doesn't know, friends talking shit behind the back are means of lowering others to feel superior to them.
Ask me how I know, I know because I've done it before.
Love in disguise, I see friendly bantering and firting as love in disguise, too shy to be upfront about feelings yet, because we don't share our insecurities, we don't know what people would do with it, strangers (have before, and therefore likely to happen again) may hurt our feelings with this knowledge.
We are protective of ourselves because we don't want to get hurt.
Ask me how I know.
I get robbed by a drug addict in NYC when by bags are already in the trunk of the cab. The black guy in his mid 40's telling me, "Don't chase him, he'll hurt you, get in the cab or the cab will drive off with your bags without you."
Ask him how he knows.
I see myself in others. When we argue usually with hate and anger, ugly sides of us come out, when we try to force each others perspective to one another.
We have something called a projection. We project our perspective onto reality. The guy that you thought was too slow, just points out that you were impatient.
The girl you brushed off as being awkward, was just too shy to even look you in the eyes. Me pointing out the flaws in others, shows you that I'm unsatisfied with who I am, so what's the point of me doing this.
Everywhere I look is me, so I just look and learn from others mistakes hope not to make those when my time has come -
He died

The song is being like a life lesson. I say this because it explains wayne's life and how he thinks he messed up and how he sees him self as his dad for messing up his life, and he looks in the mirror and see the old wayne how he could have made better choices and still be successful. And hes the man in the mirror and his life riseing and falling at the same time.

The tish z wayne wil nver change even if yall wan him 2 change remember wen he came outa jail he was talkin' bout startin' goin' 2 church n becomin' a pastor bt the truth z al those oanz in è iluminati thang talk bou God to just moak him ..confirm
-
He is talking bout pain and struggle through his life.
-
the mural painting is realizing he was born as a sacrifice for music, fully giving his gift and talent for the world. Born to die in the giving of his gift of music, that is the way to live- clarity of purpose... :)

Most of you are almost right, Wayne drops out mostly Illuminati signs and a bit of gang signs too but we all he would not want to fool around with Gangs so directs his attention to 666 and how he tends to free himself, like Eminem, he just proclamed War with the Damned spirits.
Shame! -
This song has no drug reference AT ALL it is about Lil Wayne looking at himself in the mirror and sees his his "love in disgiuse"

THE SONG HAS TWO PARTS TO IT. THE FIRST PART OF THE SONG ALL THE WAY TO 2:04 IS GOD TALKING TO WAYNE . WHEN HE FIRST STARTS SAYING THAT HE SEE’S THE BLOOD THREW HIS EYES AND THE PAIN IN HIS PRIDE, BUT THEN HE SAY’S I SEE MY SELF. WHAT WAYNE IS SAYING IS THAT GOD IS TELLING HIM THAT HE SEE’S HIMSELF(GOD), THAT WAYNES PAIN AND SINS ARE HIS SINS TOO. JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE OUR SINS , AND GOD IS TELLING HIM THAT HIS(WAYNES) SINS AND PAIN ARE HIS(GOD) SINS AND PAIN. THE NEXT PART IS PRETTY MUCH SAYING THE SAME THING. LISTEN TO THE LYRICS AND IMAGIN GOD IS SAYING THEM TO WAYNE ALL THAT WAY UP TO 2:04 OF THE SONG, THEN WAYNE TAKES OVER AND STARTS TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF. IT’S A TWO PART SONG. GOD TALKING TO WAYNE AND WAYNE TALKING TO GOD. YOU CAN TELL IN THE SONG WHEN GOD IS TALKING TO WAYNE AND THEN WHEN WAYNE SWITCHES IT UP AND STARTS TALKING TO GOD, HIS VOICE AND TONE CHANGES. 2:04 IS WHEN WAYNE STARTS TALKING TO GOD. YOU NOTICE THAT HE DOESN’T START CUSSING INTILL AFTER 2:04 OF THE SONG, IT’S BECAUSE WYANE IS TALKING NOW. THE MIRROR REPRESENTS THE DEVIL AND EVIL, HE’S SAYING THAT THE DEVIL WAS ALWAYS TELLING HIM THAT THE EVIL HE DID IN LIFE WAS OKAY BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND HIM AND IT WAS OKAY TO BE THE WAY HE WAS. THAT’S WHY HE SAY’S THAT HE STARTING WITH THE MAN IN THE MIRROR, HE’S CHANGING HIS LIFE AND NO LONGER LETTING EVIL CONTROL HIM. THAT’S WHY HE SAID HE EVEN LOOKS GOOD IN A BROKEN MIRROR, HE’S BREAKING THE EVIL AWAY FROM HIS LIFE.

If you aren't stupid, you would know that this is obviously about the Illuminati. At first, if you just listen to the song, you might not catch it, but once you see the video, it's majorly obvious. The red paint represents the initiation into becoming a Satan worshipper, where you inject a steralized(spelled that wrong, I know.) needle into yourself. If you're becoming in the Illuminati, then it's in your wrist, if you're just becoming a Satanist, then it's your index finger. At the end, when the picture of him on the wall is revealed, it's a demon, or at least a devil thing. In the song, he mentions Michael Jackson, who was in the Illuminati, but then later exposed it, so they killed him. At the end, he spreads his arms, which is a symbol for Satanism. I'm not completely sure but, I think the spreading of arms is either supposed to make yourself look like an upside down cross, representing antichrist, or meaning that you welcome Lucifer(Satan.)
