Reflections
Fuseboxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I? I lost my mind 'cuz I miss you
Strange as it may seem,
This pain is cutting deep. Deep inside of me.
Hold me close, in your armseven in my dreams.
*Will I keep my eyes closed?
Will I turn the lights on?
Reflection shows what you can see.
People passin' by, pause and toss a dime.
Tapping at my back, telling I'll be fine.
Fine's as an easy line, spoken thousand times.
Cloned and advised.
Hold me close, in your arms even in my dreams.
*Will I keep my eyes closed?
A nightmare, can'r this be?
Will I turn the lights on?
Reflection's clearer than it seems.
Will I hope when the time comes?
That I won't have to close my eyes
Wide open, unclustered.
Reflection shows what u can...
See through my eyes, Watch me in disguise
Watch me fall inside.
The song Reflections by Fuseboxx is a heart-wrenching ballad that delves into the depths of pain and confusion one feels after losing someone significant in their life. The first verses speak of losing one's faith and sanity after parting ways with someone special. The chorus talks about the inner turmoil that one goes through, as they battle to come to terms with their loss. The pain is so raw that they question if they will ever overcome it. The bridge of the song talks about how people try to comfort the singer, telling them that they will be fine, but the reality is that there is no easy fix to the turmoil inside.
The lyrics of this song are beautifully crafted to exude raw emotions and depict feelings of loss and confusion. The lyrics use metaphors skilfully to convey the deep angst that one feels. The line, "Reflection shows what you can see," is particularly poignant, as it talks about how the reflection that one sees is only the superficial layer of their pain, and the real pain is so deep that it cannot be seen in a reflection. Fuseboxx uses his voice to bring out the rawness and pain of the lyrics brilliantly.
