Walk in death Feeling fresh Baseball bat And a record to set
Grimes
English
The lyrics evoke a sense of defiance and vigor, mixing feelings of rebellion with a clear sense of purpose and confidence. There's a juxtaposition of life and death that can elicit a complex emotional response.
The song could be applied in scenarios such as motivational sports playlists, themes of resilience in visual media, or youth empowerment campaigns. The imagery of setting records and feeling fresh suggests moments of overcoming challenges.
Musically, the song employs a blend of synth-pop elements typical of Grimes' style, featuring layered vocals, pulsating beats, and an upbeat tempo that contrasts with the darker themes in the lyrics. The use of metaphor with 'baseball bat' and 'record' suggests an interplay between physicality and achievement.
I stand by the mirror, expecting my face Instead there’s a version of me I’ve erased The eyes looking back open wide and they gleam They show me the things I was meant to achieve Her steps never waver, she stays on her path (path) Confidence worn like a crown on her head I tell her I’m sorry, that I should have tried (tried) to drown out the voices that kept me down Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. And I see her dancing, free of regret (regret) A life still unfolding, no fear in her steps The choices I ran from, and all that I gave Up on, and into, so many mistakes I know I can't fix what's already been broken (broken) or go back in time, speak when I should have spoken I tell her I’m sorry, I should have been brave (brave) And not let the whispers control me that way Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won (won) Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. I reach for the girl, try to step through the frame, To tell her to fight, not to fall for the same, The shards stay in place, the glass won’t bend, I’m stuck on this side, with no way to amend. Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. Mirror, mirror, what have I become? (What have I become?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I let slip by, (slip by) The girl in the mirror pays the price.
Move Right with Body Mechanics (Verse 1) Stand tall, feet apart, yeah, that's the way, Keep your back straight, work hard every day. Eyes at the level, that’s how we play, No reaching overhead, let’s do it the safe way. (Chorus) We lift with our legs, yeah, that’s the key, Push, don’t pull, keep it safe and free. Avoid that twist, stay strong, you’ll see, Body mechanics, it’s the way to be. (Verse 2) In the classroom, we’re learning, making our moves, Every step we take, yeah, we got the grooves. Keep your posture right, it’s how we improve, With these simple tips, watch how we move! (Chorus) We lift with our legs, yeah, that’s the key, Push, don’t pull, keep it safe and free. Avoid that twist, stay strong, you’ll see, Body mechanics, it’s the way to be. (Bridge) In every class, we take it slow, Smart choices matter, let that knowledge flow. Together we learn, we’re ready to grow, With body mechanics, we’re in the flow. (Outro) So stand with pride and keep it right, With body mechanics, we shine so bright. In school, we’re strong, ready for the fight, Let’s move with purpose, day and night!

Die stad is versier vir Kersfees Al die winkels is vanaand laat oop Mense haas deur die besige strate Ek gaan op my knieë Elke kind het 'n duisend wense Elke venster het 'n duisend ligte Elke siel het 'n behoefte aan vrede Ek gaan op my knieë Daar is 'n Ster wat steeds die nag op helder Jy vind dit as jy jou oë sluit En die lig sien Neem 'n stap deur Bethlehem Kom en kniel voor die lam Goeie nuus vir elke mens Stap deur Bethlehem Elke nag 'n ander TV-spesiaal Handelaars tel af na die inkopiedae Maar iets ontbreek onder die boom Ek gaan op my knieë Want elke hart verlang na meer as geskenke Iets meer as net 'n vakansie Kom en vier Ons Koning Kom ons gaan op ons knieë Jy hoef nie enige plek te reis nie Geloof en hoop en liefde sal jou daarheen bring Neem 'n stap deur Bethlehem Kom en kniel voor die lam Goeie nuus vir elke mens Kom ons gaan op ons knieë
