Reflection
MisterWives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left a crack open
I couldn't ignore the faint possibility
Of having hope in this insanity
That we still could be
But we're stuck floating in between
Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
Shattering anything
That has reflections of you
You
Our eyes were closed
With hearts open wide
Dismissed every rule to abide by
Our bodies undressed the layers of shy
Revealing the truth that was buried inside
Filled up feelings
That now are bursting at the seams
Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
To let the sparks die out
Shattering anything
That has reflections of you
You
Unsure of what are my dreams it seems
You have stolen my slumber
And awakened another
Life within me that is better than any other
Reaching endless heights in never ending nights
That can't be seen, put to bed this dream
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
To let the sparks die out
Shattering anything
That has reflections of you
You
The lyrics of "Reflection" by MisterWives are all about holding onto hope in a hopeless situation. The singer is trying to come to terms with the fact that there is still a faint possibility that they could be with the person they desire, despite the fact that it seems unlikely. The door is left open, and the singer can't ignore the hope that it represents. This conflict is one that is relatable to many people who have been in similar circumstances.
The song talks about the power of desire and how it can drive us to do things that we might not otherwise do. The idea of putting oneself on the shelf and disciplining oneself to let the sparks die out is one way of dealing with this kind of intense longing. It's a way of trying to move on from a hopeless situation and protect oneself from further pain. But at the same time, the lyrics suggest that it's not always easy to do that because the desire still lingers. The song speaks to the struggle of trying to let go of something that you know isn't good for you, but that you still can't help wanting.

You didn't close the door
You left the door ajar
Left a crack open
The door was not fully closed
I couldn't ignore the faint possibility
I couldn't disregard the slight chance
Of having hope in this insanity
Of being optimistic in this madness
That we still could be
That we could still have a chance
But we're stuck floating in between
But we are in limbo
Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
Let me take a break and focus my mind
To let the sparks die out
To extinguish the emotional fire
Shattering anything
Destroying everything
That has reflections of you
That reminds me of you
Our eyes were closed
We were in the dark
With hearts open wide
We were very emotional
Dismissed every rule to abide by
We ignored all the conventions
Our bodies undressed the layers of shy
We exposed our inhibitions
Revealing the truth that was buried inside
Showing our true selves
Filled up feelings
Emotions were running high
That now are bursting at the seams
Now overflowing
Unsure of what are my dreams it seems
I'm not sure what my aspirations are
You have stolen my slumber
You have taken away my peaceful sleep
And awakened another
And aroused another thing
Life within me that is better than any other
An exciting life inside me
Reaching endless heights in never ending nights
Aiming high in endless evenings
That can't be seen, put to bed this dream
Unknown and need to let go of this fantasy
Put me on the shelf, discipline myself
Let me take a break and focus my mind
To let the sparks die out
To extinguish the emotional fire
Shattering anything
Destroying everything
That has reflections of you
That reminds me of you
You
You
