Mirror Lyrics in English Stray Kids

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mirror by Stray Kids from Korean to English.
Where am I?
Where am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am not, me
I'm not me
Dodaeche eonjebuteo sijagilkka
When the hell did this start?
Pulliji anhneun munje
An unsolvable problem
Naega nuguinga
Who am I?
Geu nugudo naen jeok eobsneun sukje
Homework nobody's ever done
Naege seongribdoel
That'd work for me
Manhan gongsikdeureul oeugi jeone
Before I memorize a bunch of formulas
Mwol daeibhalji seontaekhalmanhan
To choose what to plug in
Gihoejocha geoui eobseossne
I barely even got the chance
Eodil ganeunjido moreun chae
Not knowing where I'm headed
Ildaneun dalligiman hae
For now, I just keep running
Yeope geouldeul nunchireul bomyeo
Glancing at the mirrors around me
Geunyang ttaradanigiman hae
I just tag along
Ajik eoryeoseo geureohdan iyu
They say it's 'cause I'm still young
Keumyeon deo hemael geo gateun neukkimeun
But I feel like I'll get even more lost later
Honlanseureon jeongsin soge gyeobchyeo
Stuck in a chaotic headspace
Dallida gyesok giutgiut
I keep running, zig-zag
Hollan soge gadhyeo
Buried in the mess
Nado ajik nal jal mollaseo
I still don't really know me
Neoneun ani dabi eobsneun
Not you, no answer in sight
Naege tto mureo
Yet you ask me again
You make me cry
You make me cry
Nae soneul jabajwo
Hold my hand
Ne apeseo nal barabonda
Standing before me, you look at me
Geoul soge bichin nan miro
In the mirror, I'm a maze
Nan miro
I'm a maze
Nae aneul bichwojul
Show me what's inside
My mirror, no
My mirror, no
Eodiseo chajaya halkka
Where am I supposed to find it?
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 hell are you?
Naega aldeon nae moseubgwaneun
From the me I knew
Neomudo dareun na
I'm way too different
Moreuneun ge manha kkumeul duljjae chigo
I know so little, dreams pile up
Nae sok mamjocha mollaseo
I don't even know my own heart
Nunmulman deo maejhigo
Only more tears well up
Mureumpyodeulgwa jeom seseuro
Weak scores and dots, all crooked
Kkeutnaneun maeil banbokdoeneun sanghwang
Every day ends in the same cycle
Naega anin geot gatdagado
I feel like I'm not myself
Majdaneun sokmameun banghwang
Yet the inner voice saying it's right keeps wandering
Hagiman hae janinhage haedabeun
Just do it, the answer's brutal
Dabeul sumgigo nan tto chajgiman hae
It hides, and I keep searching
Sondael su eobsi keojin naui
My question's grown beyond reach
Uimun dabi eobsne
A question with no answer
Hollan soge gadhyeo
Buried in the mess
Nado ajik nal jal mollaseo
I still don't really know me
Neoneun ani dabi eobsneun
Not you, no answer in sight
Naege tto mureo
Yet you ask me again
You make me cry
You make me cry
Nae soneul jabajwo
Hold my hand
Ne apeseo nal barabonda
Standing before me, you look at me
Geoul soge bichin nan miro
In the mirror, I'm a maze
Nan miro
I'm a maze
Nae aneul bichwojul
Show me what's inside
My mirror, no
My mirror, no
Eodiseo chajaya halkka
Where am I supposed to find it?
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 know who I am either
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here just doing as I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I'm walking the road they told me
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, running comes first
Naega nugunji nado moreuji
I don't know who I am either
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here just doing as I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I'm walking the road they told me
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, running comes first
Who am I?
Who am I?
Naega nareul boneunde gami an wa
I look at myself, but I can't grasp it
I am not
I am not
Hoksi molla dareun geoureul chaja
Maybe I should find a different mirror
Eolmana hemaeya naega nareul bomyeo
How long do I have to roam
Useul su isseulkka
Before I can look at myself and smile?
What you want?
What you want?
A mirror for myself
A mirror for myself
Geoul soge bichin nan miro
In the mirror, I'm a maze
Nan miro
I'm a maze
Nae aneul bichwojul
Show me what's inside
My mirror, no
My mirror, no
Eodiseo chajaya halkka
Where am I supposed to find it?
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 know who I am either
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here just doing as I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I'm walking the road they told me
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, running comes first
Naega nugunji nado moreuji
I don't know who I am either
Sikin daero yeogikkaji wassdeon
I got here just doing as I was told
Eodiga? Naega garaneun gil georeoga
Where to? I'm walking the road they told me
Mudji ma ildan ttwineun ge useoniya
Don't ask, running comes 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.
