Pardon My Reflection
Motion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pardon my reflection
Like the love behind my back
Though you think you know direction
Still I come out half a man
Not so much the constant talking
But the words are hard to ground
You stop me if they do
My mind is closing down

And I never should have listened to you
Never knew a life like this before
I never should have listened to you
Don't wanna see you anymore

You turned your time for learnin'
Like a trip away from life
Your life into a seed
Becomes a small-time sight
Now I've stood here long enough
Knowing what I see
Happiness is built for you
Just ain't gonna stick to me

And I never should have listened to you
Never knew a life like this before
I never should have listened to you
Don't wanna see you anymore

Tomorrow, they make rain

Rain, we change
Ah, Ah

Line by Line Meaning

Pardon my reflection
Excuse my self-examination or introspection

Like the love behind my back
Like the love that was always there but I couldn't see it

Though you think you know direction
Even though you thought you knew the right path

Still I come out half a man
Still I feel incomplete and unsatisfied

Not so much the constant talking
It's not about the talking that bothers me

But the words are hard to ground
It's the words that are difficult to understand and accept

You stop me if they do
You can interrupt me if my words are confusing or wrong

My mind is closing down
I'm losing my ability to think clearly and logically

And I never should have listened to you
I regret taking your advice or following your lead

Never knew a life like this before
I had no idea that my life would turn out like this

Don't wanna see you anymore
I don't want to be around you anymore
