Reflections
Crossbreed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember when
I can't remember when
I can't remember when the sun has hit my face
I can't remember when
I can't remember when
I can't remember when the sun has hit my face

all cut up and bleeding unjust fully
to never ever return
crumbled up and unfolding just to see, to see to see
the sun break
sliding down and slipping into the walls
of reflections just for you
i try to, i try to make you see, to see, to see reflections

i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face

illusion's wondering above although stains appear
one dose will start to make you feel, to feel, to feel
the ground break
sliding down and slipping into the walls of reflections
just for you
i try to, i try to make you see, to see, to see reflections
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face

face flat and lying in the streets
i'm beat and still bleeding
my reflections, they show, they show, they show
the sun break
sliding down and slipping into the walls of reflections
just for you
i try to, i try to make you see, to see, to see reflections
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections
and they're down upon my face
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections




i've seen reflections
and they're down upon my face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Crossbreed's "Reflections" describe a sense of disorientation and loss of self due to the constant struggles and trials the singer has faced. The repetition of the phrase "I can't remember when the sun has hit my face" emphasizes the feeling of being disconnected from the world around them, as if they haven't experienced a moment of joy or relaxation in a long time. The lyrics go on to describe feeling cut up and bleeding unjustly, never able to return to a state of wholeness. The mention of illusions and the idea of one dose starting to make you feel suggests the possibility of addiction or dependence as a coping mechanism for the pain.


The singer's "reflections" appear to be a source of comfort, acting as a sort of escape or sanctuary. Even as they lie beaten and bleeding in the streets, the reflections remain, showing them new perspectives and helping them see their situation clearly. The repetition of "I try to make you see reflections" suggests that the singer may be attempting to share this clarity and insight with someone else.


Overall, "Reflections" seems to be a song about the struggle to find meaning and hope even in the face of intense pain and suffering. Through their reflections, the singer finds a way to hold on and keep fighting.

Lyrics (I need them for some reason)

Where have you been?
Do you know when you're coming back?
'Cause since you've been gone
I've got along but I've been sad
I tried to put it out for you to get
Could've, should've but you never did
Wish you wanted it a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give
Where have you been?
Do you know if you're coming back?
We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes
I know you're sick
Hoping you fix whatever's broken
Ignorant bliss
And a few sips might be the potion
I tried to put it out for you to get
Could've, should've but you never did
Wish you wanted it a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give
Where have you been?
Do you know if you're coming back?
We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes (tell me you see it too)
So close, so close
Yet so far away (so far)
I don't know (I don't)
How to be solo (no)
So don't go, oh, no, just stay
You and I were bright, shooting through the sky daily (yeah)
Lighting up the night, wasn't always right, baby (mm-hmm)
Yeah, every time that we realized it's crazy
And you save me
We were too close to the stars
I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes (I sold my soul for you, I know you see it too)
Yeah, I brought same ones too
I know you're tired, I know you're tired
Just say it, I agree with you
Sick of all the poison in me
What did I do wrong for me, babe?
Uh, I see myself in you, I see myself in you, baby
I see myself in you, alright
I see myself in you, maybe you should too
