Reflection
2. Ember Lyrics

Morning sunshine I've been waiting for you
The singer is acknowledging a positive shift in their life and feels ready to face the day

Feeling past it can you not just see this too
The singer is suggesting that the people around them are not noticing the difficulties they are experiencing

So here's me thinking is this all just a dream
The singer is questioning whether or not their current reality is real or just a figment of their imagination

I think we're going under what does this all mean
The artist is expressing concern that they and others around them are on a path to failure and feels unsure about what the future holds

I'm throwing my cards on the table Saying I'm done this time My dreams of always seeing through it Are hazed tonight
The artist is communicating a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their struggles, and shares that their hope for success is currently unclear and uncertain

And I'll believe it when I see it But it feels so right I feel my body falling But I know I'm fine
The singer expresses skepticism that things will improve, but acknowledges a sense of peace despite the difficulties

I'm good to feel like I'm a winner for once But I'm losing at the games you like to play
The singer feels a sense of accomplishment for overcoming their struggles, but is still losing in the eyes of those around them

And I could write another riot in a notebook But you're never going to read it anyway
The artist identifies an outlet for their inner turmoil, but recognizes that it will not be observed or understood by those who caused it

I'm wasting all my precious time Just to sit around and watch you as you pass me by
The artist laments that they are spending time and energy in the presence of individuals who do not value or understand them

And this ain't about my last reflections It's been built on years of lies How can we keep on moving forward With the problems from your side
The artist clarifies that their current struggles are not stemming from brief musings, but rather from years of deceit and mistreatment by others

Not sleeping Not breathing This nightmare will never end Not sleeping Not breathing This nightmare will never end Not sleeping (The moment) Not breathing (Arises) This nightmare will never end (Welcome to Famous Nightmare)
The singer is caught in a metaphorical 'nightmare' - a situation that feels unending and oppressive, and that the people around them seem oblivious to

This is all about the moment When I say goodbye Your goal of always moving forward Is not alright
The artist acknowledges that saying goodbye to certain people and situations is necessary for personal growth, and that always 'moving forward' can be a misguided approach

And this is my last letter After years of lies It's all about the endgame When you're always right
The singer shares that this communication is their final attempt at expressing their perspective after years of being manipulated and deceived by others, and that those individuals tend to prioritize their own self-righteousness above everything else
