Reflections
Air.K & Cephei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what do you see
I see a man who is the other half of me
Took one closer look
Is this who I wanna be
I found all what I need
But I'm better than what I've been now
I'm not what I used to be anymore
I used to think bad things would never end
Even when I felt so small I stood up tall
When my back was against the wall
I found my only distraction
It's my reflection
Reality hits you hard when you know you had your last shot
It would taste so good but I'd dare myself not
Even if I were to take a single sip of champagne
I'd only go so far with a D.U.I. on my record and get stuck in the parking lot
But I'm better than that
I'm not what I used to be anymore
It's all in the past
I used to think bad things would never end
Even when I felt so small I stood up tall
When my back was against the wall
I found my only distraction
It's my reflection
Take one look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see
I'm not what I used to be anymore
It's all in the past
I used to think bad things would never end
Even when I felt so small I stood up tall
When my back was against the wall
I found my only distraction
It's my mirror of myself on the wall
My distraction
It's my reflection
The lyrics to Air.K & Cephei's song "Reflections" are about self-reflection and personal growth. The song is a conversation with oneself as the singer looks in the mirror and contemplates who they are and who they want to be. The first verse poses the question "Tell me what do you see?" and the singer responds with an acknowledgement of their own duality - that they are both flawed and striving for better. The chorus reinforces the idea that the person singing is not defined by their past and has grown beyond previous mistakes. The second verse contains a reference to drinking and driving, which can lead to serious consequences. The singer acknowledges the temptation but decides that they are "better than that" and will not give in.
The overall theme of the song is one of self-improvement and overcoming past mistakes. The singer has learned from their experiences and strives for a better version of themselves. The song uses the metaphor of a mirror to represent this journey of self-reflection and self-examination. The act of looking in the mirror is a common one for people to assess their appearance and the person they are becoming. In the context of this song, it represents a deeper level of introspection and a search for personal growth.

This track is way ahead of its time; I’ve been a sound engineer for 20 years & I’ve produced many music tracks, this drum & bass track is vibrant, uplifting & deserves way more recognition or maybe it’s just a secret gem.
