Reflections
LOEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Pleading to me and you had
Bad history but I don't
Wanna make it harder
And I wanna know if you can try
Give in to me and I will
Make you believe
Don't try to see it
Touch me (touch me)
Love me (love me)
Feel your hands
(All over me)
On me (on me)
Hold me (hold me)
Feel my pain (feel my pain)
Above me
I see (I see)
You and me (oh)
Take me
Surrender me
Be my flame
I see your reflection
In the window of the subway trains and
I make connections of the way you look and how you taste and
Fake conversations fill my mind until you look my way
My friends try to tell me that it's wrong but I can't stay away
I wait for you while you are
Not missing me and you don't
Have it for me but I just
Wanna make you love it
And I wanna give you all I got
I'm on my knees and you got
Control of me
I'll never leave
Don't let me get away
Touch me (touch me)
Love me (love me)
Feel your hands
(All over me)
On me (on me)
Hold me (hold me)
Feel my pain (feel my pain)
Above me
I see (I see)
You and me (oh)
Take me
Surrender me
Be my flame
I see your reflection
In the window of the subway trains and
I make connections of the way you look and how you taste and
Fake conversations fill my mind until you look my way
My friends try to tell me that it's wrong but I can't stay away
I see your reflection
Staring back at me
There's no recognition
Only apathy
I break dissociation
With your hands on me
I'll be your ambition
Show me everything
I see your reflection
In the window of the subway trains and
I make connections of the way you look and how you taste and
Fake conversations fill my mind until you look my way
My friends try to tell me that it's wrong but I can't stay away
I see your reflection
In the window of the subway trains and
I make connections of the way you look and how you taste and
Fake conversations fill my mind until you look my way
My friends try to tell me that it's wrong but I can't stay away
"Reflections" by LOEN delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship and the intense emotions that come with it. The lyrics seem to narrate a push and pull dynamic between two individuals who share a troubled past but are drawn to each other nonetheless. The singer expresses a desire for connection and understanding, even in the face of obstacles and negative history. There's a yearning and vulnerability in the lines, a plea for the other person to surrender to the feelings between them.
The chorus of the song highlights a physical and emotional connection, with the repeated phrases "touch me," "love me," and "feel my pain" emphasizing a deep desire for intimacy and acceptance. The imagery of hands all over and the pain being felt create a sense of raw emotion and longing for closeness. The singer is willing to give their all and hopes to be reciprocated in kind, begging for reassurance through physical touch and emotional support.
The verses paint a picture of longing and obsession, with the singer unable to resist the pull towards the other person despite their friends warning them against it. There's a sense of internal conflict as the singer grapples with their emotions and desires, torn between their attraction and the rational advice of those around them. The references to fake conversations and waiting in vain capture the desperation and fantasy that can accompany unrequited love or a complicated relationship.
The final verse brings a sense of resolution or realization, with the singer acknowledging the lack of recognition or empathy from the other person. Despite this, there's a determination to break free from dissociation and embrace their feelings, fueled by the touch of the other person. The ending paints a picture of acceptance and determination, with the singer ready to embrace their desires and confront the challenges ahead. The repeated chorus and imagery of reflections in the subway trains serve as a metaphor for self-discovery and emotional growth in the face of a turbulent relationship.
