Mirror Lyrics in English Stray Kids

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mirror by Stray Kids from Korean to English.
Intro
Where am I?
Where am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am not, me
I'm not me
Dodaeche eonjebuteo sijagilkka
When did this even start?
Pulliji anhneun munje
An unsolvable problem
Naega nuguinga
Who am I?
Geu nugudo naen jeok eobsneun sukje
Homework nobody's ever assigned
Naege seongribdoel
That would apply to me
Manhan gongsikdeureul oeugi jeone
Before memorizing tons of formulas
Mwol daeibhalji seontaekhalmanhan
To even choose what to plug in
Gihoejocha geoui eobseossne
I barely even got the chance
Eodil ganeunjido moreun chae
Not even knowing where I'm headed
Ildaneun dalligiman hae
For now I just keep running
Yeope geouldeul nunchireul bomyeo
Glancing at the mirrors beside me
Geunyang ttaradanigiman hae
I just tag along
Ajik eoryeoseo geureohdan iyu
They say it's because I'm still young
Keumyeon deo hemael geo gateun neukkimeun
But I feel I'll be even more lost when I grow up
Honlanseureon jeongsin soge gyeobchyeo
Layered in my confused mind
Dallida gyesok giutgiut
Running while constantly peeking around
Hollan soge gadhyeo
Trapped in chaos
Nado ajik nal jal mollaseo
I still don't really know myself
Neoneun ani dabi eobsneun
Not you either, no answer
Naege tto mureo
You ask me again
You make me cry
You make me cry
Nae soneul jabajwo
Hold my hand
Ne apeseo nal barabonda
I face myself in front of you
Geoul soge bichin nan miro
The me in the mirror is a maze
Nan miro
I'm a maze
Nae aneul bichwojul
Shine a light inside me
My mirror, no
My mirror, no
Eodiseo chajaya halkka
Where should I look?
For once I wish I could see myself
For once I wish I could see myself
Nan gyesokhaeseo chaja hemaego isseo
I keep wandering, searching for it
I'm not me
I'm not me
Neo dodaeche nuguya
Who the heck are you?
Naega aldeon nae moseubgwaneun
Unlike the self I knew
Neomudo dareun na
I'm way too different
Moreuneun ge manha kkumeul duljjae chigo
I don't know much, dreams are the least of it
Nae sok mamjocha mollaseo
I don't even know my own heart
Nunmulman deo maejhigo
Only more tears well up
Mureumpyodeulgwa jeom seseuro
Question marks and dots everywhere
Kkeutnaneun maeil banbokdoeneun sanghwang
The same situation repeats day after day
Naega anin geot gatdagado
Even when I feel like I'm not me
Majdaneun sokmameun banghwang
My inner voice that says it's right still wanders
Hagiman hae janinhage haedabeun
I just keep going, but the answer is cruel
Dabeul sumgigo nan tto chajgiman hae
It hides the answer, and I keep searching
Sondael su eobsi keojin naui
My doubt's grown too big to handle
Uimun dabi eobsne
There's no answer
Hollan soge gadhyeo
Trapped in chaos
Nado ajik nal jal mollaseo
I still don't really know myself
Neoneun ani dabi eobsneun
Not you either, no answer
Naege tto mureo
You ask me again
You make me cry
You make me cry
Nae soneul jabajwo
Hold my hand
Ne apeseo nal barabonda
I face myself in front of you
Geoul soge bichin nan miro
The me in the mirror is a maze
Nan miro
I'm a maze
Nae aneul bichwojul
Shine a light inside me
My mirror, no
My mirror, no
Eodiseo chajaya halkka
Where should I look?
For once I wish I could see myself
For once I wish I could see myself
Nan gyesokhaeseo chaja hemaego isseo
I keep wandering, searching for it
Naega nugunji nado moreuji
I don't even know who I am
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here doing exactly what I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I walk the path they said
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, just run first
Naega nugunji nado moreuji
I don't even know who I am
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here doing exactly what I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I walk the path they said
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, just run first
Who am I?
Who am I?
Naega nareul boneunde gami an wa
I try to see myself but I can't grasp it
I am not
I am not
Hoksi molla dareun geoureul chaja
Just in case, I look for another mirror
Eolmana hemaeya naega nareul bomyeo
How long must I wander till I can see myself
Useul su isseulkka
And finally smile?
What you want?
What you want?
A mirror for myself
A mirror for myself
Geoul soge bichin nan miro
The me in the mirror is a maze
Nan miro
I'm a maze
Nae aneul bichwojul
Shine a light inside me
My mirror, no
My mirror, no
Eodiseo chajaya halkka
Where should I look?
For once I wish I could see myself
For once I wish I could see myself
Nan gyesokhaeseo chaja hemaego isseo
I keep wandering, searching for it
Naega nugunji nado moreuji
I don't even know who I am
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here doing exactly what I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I walk the path they said
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, just run first
Naega nugunji nado moreuji
I don't even know who I am
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here doing exactly what I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I walk the path they said
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, just run first

SONG MEANING

Mirror by Stray Kids is a sonic diary of an identity quest. From the very first "Where am I? Who am I?" the members spiral through corridors of doubt, bumping into reflections that feel unfamiliar. The lyrics paint the mirror as both detective and tormentor: it shows every crack, yet never hands over a clear answer. Over pounding beats and urgent rap verses, we hear the frustration of trying to match society’s ready-made “formulas” while still feeling like a blank homework sheet no one has ever solved.

Still, the song glimmers with determination. Each chorus lifts like a plea for clarity — “For once I wish I could see myself” — reminding listeners that the truest reflection is found within, not in other people’s eyes. By the last refrain, the maze of mirrors becomes a challenge rather than a trap, urging us to keep searching until the face staring back finally smiles with recognition.
