Just For That Broken Mirror Lyrics

2020 copyright Kim Noble

You gotta way with words

when you tell those lies

You're sweet talk baby is like paradise

and honestly I wouldn't even know the difference

If I hadn't heard it from a friend of mine

the heat from your sweet walking neat talking frame

I like it just fine at night calling out your name

and honestly I don’t even care you cheat

except that my heart keeps calling retreat

Just For That Broken Mirror

it's probably only a token fear

Just For That Broken Mirror

you cheat on me plenty but somehow all's forgiven when you're near

Don't wanna see myself what I've become

I wait by the door like a puppy dog

and honestly I don't care what happens as long as you keep coming around

I got me 7 bad years of luck

Just For That Broken Mirror

Lyrical Narrative & Themes

Written and performed by Kim Noble, the lyrics delve into themes of betrayal, vulnerability, and the "seven bad years of luck" that follow a broken relationship. The song paints a vivid picture of a partner who has a "way with words" and whose "sweet talk" feels like paradise, even when built on lies.

Key narrative elements include:

• The Discovery of Infidelity: The protagonist admits they wouldn't have known the difference "if I hadn't heard it from a friend of mine".

• Emotional Paradox: Despite the cheating, the protagonist describes an inability to leave, waiting "like a puppy dog" by the door because "all's forgiven" the moment the partner is near.

• The "Broken Mirror" Metaphor: The central refrain suggests a cycle of bad luck and a "token fear," reflecting the internal struggle of someone who doesn't want to see what they have become in the pursuit of a dishonest love.

Musical Atmosphere

As a piece of Contemporary Blues, the song balances the grit of traditional blues storytelling with the polished, expert instrumentation characteristic of Lucidi's Jazz Fusion background. It captures the "heat" of a toxic relationship while maintaining a melodic, "sweet-talking" atmosphere that mirrors the deceptive paradise described in the lyrics.
