The balance of these ideals makes “Objects in the Mirror” a tortured helix, where Mac uses love as an avenue for relief. He is ever-preoccupied by atrocity, but still finds time for love and splendor. By the second verse, his penchant for love becomes a set of crippling fears. Mac sounds both in love and disappointed in himself.

Promises to shelter you from heartbreak and to break you free from your woes make this a by-the-numbers love affair until we hit promises of being a better man and truths about the unattainable quality of perfection. “Objects in the Mirror” shines because it is both a direct love song and still packs Mac Miller’s abstract and flowing writing style. “ A thought is love's currency” will go down as a top Mac Miller bar for its simple brilliance. In 2014, on Faces, Mac spit, “ We only grow from anguish,” and that is the bedrock of his best love songs. Love is a systemic give-and-take, and when Mac taps into that cycle, he writes some of his most lucid songs. “ If I ever get the chance, bet I'm paying you back” and “ So wish for me, I'll come out of nowhere-your epiphany” speak to a maturation that returns on higher-ranked cuts on this list. It is not enough to simply throw up your hands and say you’re wrong. Mac is aware of his shortcomings and the pain that informs love, but he also knows he has to give back what he sows. This song bests “Youforia” and “Earth” specifically because it has the complexity of symbiosis. We open with bars reminiscent of an old Atmosphere song, with Mac sending “ love for girls who got some cuts at their wrists” and then we get the classic dissolution of the binary understanding of love right after: “ Misery-you represent love, you the epitome.” Of course, this implies that “Clarity” works beyond a traditional love song it is a love song for everyone. Not to mention, the lyrical overlap-“ You take away the pain and I thank you for that”-shows us that between 20, if not earlier as Benjy Grinberg revealed, Mac Miller was seeking asylum from his own tortured soul. “Clarity” can be understood as the sophisticated man’s “Youforia.” The arrangement of “Clarity” is meatier, but the blanketed effect is nearly one-to-one. This, of course, informs the “ (Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?)” that peppers the hook. If you fight enough, the fights become routine and unremarkable, and they never dissipate. We are the only ones in the midst of strife now, and yet we cannot seem to wrest our way out we don’t want to.

Something to be weathered, Mac never once sounds despondent as he admits to “ buggin’, buggin’, makin’ something out of nothin’.” Closing the first verse with “ I'm treading water, I swear / That if I drown I don't care / They callin' for me from the shore, I need more” as it relates to the hook, puts us in a position of indulging in the turmoil to the point of it damaging everything and everyone. The first verse and hook of “Perfecto” illustrate pettiness and argument, anxiety and obsession, as features of any old love story. More on that when we get to the second half of the song. He was never shy about his flaws, and in conjunction with the title, he seems to be suggesting there is no such thing as a perfect person or a perfect love, but we can make our chips and dents special and that should be enough. The first half of the track deals with Mac’s shortcomings in earnest. “Perfecto” existing as a two-parter is also classic Mac. “ It ain’t perfect, but I don’t mind / Because it’s worth it” is a classic Mac Miller-ism for love, life, and all things pertaining to the human experience.
