Reflection
李玟(CoCo Lee) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think How we feel
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
Music by Matthew Wilder
Lyrics by David Zippel
-Coco was the voice for the Mandarin version of Disney's Mulan
The song "Reflection" by CoCo Lee is a powerful ballad that talks about how people wear a mask to fool the world but cannot fool their heart. The opening line of the song "Look at me, You may think you see who I really am, but you'll never know me" shows that people mask their true self and appear as someone who they are not. The lyrics express how people hide their hearts and beliefs to belong in a world where they have to hide part of themselves. CoCo Lee questions her reflection's identity and why it does not show the person she is inside.
The chorus of the song drives the message home, asking when her reflection would show who she is inside. The lyrics say that there is a heart that must be free to fly, and people should not conceal what they think or feel. Society, however, forces people to hide a part of themselves. Coco Lee concludes, stating she won't pretend to be someone else for all time, and the world will see who she genuinely is. The song is about self-acceptance and showcases how people should embrace their true self and not be afraid of it.

Look at me
Pay attention to me
You may think you see who I really am
You might assume you understand my true nature
But you'll never know me
But you will never fully comprehend me
Everyday it's as if I play a part
Daily, it feels like I am acting
Now I see
At this moment, I understand
If I wear a mask I can fool the world
If I wear a facade, I can deceive everyone
But I cannot fool my heart
However, my heart cannot be fooled
Who is that girl I see
Who am I truly inside?
Staring straight back at me
Looking directly at me
When will my reflection show
When will I be genuine
Who I am inside
Who I really am deep down
I am now
Currently, I am
In a world where I have to hide my heart
Living in a world where I must conceal my true feelings
And what I believe in
As well as my beliefs
But somehow
But in some way
I will show the world what's inside my heart
I will display to all what truly resides within my heart
And be loved for who I am
And be accepted for who I am
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Why am I not familiar with my true self?
Must I pretend that I'm
Do I have to act as if I am
Someone else for all time
Someone other than myself continually
There's a heart that must be free to fly
An unrestrained heart longing to soar
That burns with a need to know the reason why
A heart that yearns to understand why
Why must we all conceal
Why do we all have to hide
What we think How we feel
What we believe and feel
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide
Do I have to conceal another version of myself?
I won't pretend that I'm
I refuse to feign
Someone else for all time
To be someone else forever
When will my reflection show
When will my true self be visible
Who I am inside
Who I really am internally
When will my reflection show
When will my true self be visible
Who I am inside
Who I really am internally

눈을 떠
내 앞에 비친
저 얼굴이
정말 나인 건지
어디도
진짜 내 모습은 없어
아무리
손을 들어
하늘은 숨겨도
가릴 수 없는 내 마음
물 위에 비춰진
날 보는 넌 누군지
언젠간 내 안에 날
만나게 될까?
새하얀
빛이 닿지 않는
검은 그림자로
숨겨져 있던 나
언젠간
길을 잃었던
이 세상 앞에
나를 보여 줄거야
물 위에 비춰진
날 보는 넌 누군지
눈을 떠 새로운 날 만날 것 같아
날 감춰야 했던
시간을 멈추고
언젠가 내 안에 날
만날 것 같아
사라지던 불빛이 타올라
날 봐
눈부시도록
빛나는 날
난 이제 알았어
또 다른 내 모습
그토록 헤매이던 날 만날 거야
긴 어둠 끝에서
찾아낸 별처럼
언젠간 내 안에 날
만날 테니까
아무도 몰랐었던
숨겨진 내 모습
