Reflections
Monolink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I hear is an illusion in my head
In a forest of realities I′m alone inside my tree house
If that is who I am then who am I to judge?
Come away
There's a room I started building on the day the light came crashing
Childhood is a cup already empty once you taste it
When the future is unwritten there′s a lifetime left to waste it
Come away
All I am is a wave
Crashing over matter into space
All I am is a wave
Waiting on the day for me to break
All I am is a wave
Crashing over matter into space
All I am is a wave
Waiting on the day I finally break.
The opening lyrics of Monolink's song Reflections delve into the introspection of one's mind. The singer reflects on everything around him being a projection or illusion of his own ego and thoughts. The journey of self-discovery unravels as he finds himself lost in a forest of realities isolated in his tree-house, questioning his place in the world. The singer seems to be delving into himself and removing all traces of judgment and limitations that he could have set for himself.
The next verse takes the listeners on a journey of reminiscence. The room the singer started building represents the memories which hold different truths, but there is no guarantee if they all connect. Childhood memories represent the purest form of innocence, but once tasted, it is never the same. The future being unwritten might seem daunting, but it is also like a blank canvas with infinite possibilities, making it easy for one to waste an entire lifetime if not approached with purpose.
The chorus "All I am is a wave, crashing over matter into space," represents the ever-changing nature of human beings and their perception of the world around them. Despite the constant change, the wave is waiting for the day to break and experience a significant shift in perception.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything I see is a reflection of my ego
My perception of the world is shaped by my own desires, needs, and experiences.
Everything I hear is an illusion in my head
My interpretation of the world is limited by my own biases and preconceptions.
In a forest of realities I'm alone inside my tree house
Although there are many possible perspectives and experiences, ultimately I am alone with my own thoughts and feelings.
If that is who I am then who am I to judge?
Since I am limited by my own experiences and biases, I cannot judge others without recognizing my own limitations.
There's a room I started building on the day the light came crashing
There is a mental space I began constructing when I faced a difficult time in my life.
Every corner holds a truth but they can never be connecting
While each aspect of my experiences and thoughts contains some element of truth, they cannot always be reconciled or fully connected to one another.
Childhood is a cup already empty once you taste it
As I grow and develop, my childhood memories and experiences become distant and abstract, losing their original feeling and context.
When the future is unwritten there's a lifetime left to waste it
When the future is unknown, there is a danger that I will not use my time and energy wisely, focusing on possibilities rather than taking action in the present.
All I am is a wave Crashing over matter into space
I am a transient and ever-changing entity, part of a larger physical and metaphysical system.
All I am is a wave Waiting on the day for me to break
As a finite entity within a larger system, there will come a time when I will no longer exist in the same form, but will transform into something else.
All I am is a wave Crashing over matter into space
I am part of a larger system with infinite complexity, and my existence interacts with that of others in ways I may never fully understand.
All I am is a wave Waiting on the day I finally break.
Although I cannot control my own existence or the unpredictable forces of the universe, I can try to live fully and meaningfully until the day I cease to exist in my current form.

Necesito música así de profunda como Monolink...

"If that is who I am then who am I to judge" you nailed it 👏 all of us are so scared of everything out there and take other's opinions as their own, when in the process of self analysis and listening to your own feelings, you could realize your own reality, once you do it, there's nothing to be scared of and only pure love. Respect yourselves ladies and gentlemen
