Reflection
P.S.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe what you need is just another point of view
But not from me, that's not for me to do
So, step back, relax, take a second, look inside of you
And you can see an image of yourself you never saw before
Despite all the trauma you've felt
If one way or another, we all are bright stars
It's just a simple way to find out who we really are
Why do we let it out of control? Has all this taken a toll?
I don't know if we can take anymore
We've got to stop and take a look in the mirror before
Step back, take a look inside yourself
From the outside, you can see someone else staring back at you
It's your reflection
Why do you feel so empty every time you've had enough?
Well, maybe you don't realize with what you've been filling up
It's plain to see that eventually you will see
The Jekyll and Hyde game in your mind is just a simile
Before your perception has started to get a little numb
And your perfection isn't helping anyone
Your reflection is the only way for you to see
For your protection, you need to see reality
The lyrics of P.S.P.’s “Reflection” alludes to the idea of personal reflection and the need for introspection in the face of life’s challenges. The song starts with addressing the internal turmoil that one may feel, and encourages them to take a step back, relax and look inwards. The overall message is that one can find a new perspective on themselves, however, this insight can only be gained by taking personal responsibility for one’s own actions.
The first verse emphasizes the importance of finding a new perspective, yet the singer asserts that they cannot be the one to provide it. This implies that everyone must find their own way to self-reflection. The second verse takes a more somber tone and asks some difficult questions, including why people let things get out of control, and if they've taken too much already. The chorus reinforces that the solution to this emptiness is found by looking within.
The song’s underlying message emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and self-awareness. It is not enough to look only at external factors; one must also examine themselves, their decisions, and their emotions. “Reflection” serves as a reminder that while it may not always be easy to take a step back and examine ourselves, it is an essential part of personal growth.

There seems to be something going on inside of you
It appears that something is happening within you
Maybe what you need is just another point of view
Perhaps what you require is just an alternate perspective
But not from me, that's not for me to do
However, it's not my responsibility to provide that for you
So, step back, relax, take a second, look inside of you
Therefore, take a breather, relax, look inwardly for a moment
And you can see an image of yourself you never saw before
And you might just see an unexplored aspect of yourself
Despite all the trauma you've felt
Irrespective of all the emotional pain you've experienced
If one way or another, we all are bright stars
In some way, we all shine brightly like stars
It's just a simple way to find out who we really are
It's just an easy method to comprehend our true selves
Why do we let it out of control? Has all this taken a toll?
Why do we permit it to spiral out of control? Has this caused a significant influence?
I don't know if we can take anymore
I'm unsure if we can handle any more
We've got to stop and take a look in the mirror before
We must halt and reflect before proceeding
Step back, take a look inside yourself
Recede and introspect
From the outside, you can see someone else staring back at you
From an outer perspective, you may witness a different person looking at you
It's your reflection
It's your reflection
Why do you feel so empty every time you've had enough?
Why do you feel hollow when you've had your fill?
Well, maybe you don't realize with what you've been filling up
Perhaps you're unaware of what's filling you up
It's plain to see that eventually you will see
It's evident that eventually you'll notice
The Jekyll and Hyde game in your mind is just a simile
The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dual-personality conflict in your mind is merely a comparison
Before your perception has started to get a little numb
Before your sense of awareness becomes dulled
And your perfection isn't helping anyone
And striving for perfection isn't beneficial to anyone
Your reflection is the only way for you to see
Your reflection is the sole method for you to perceive
For your protection, you need to see reality
For your safeguard, you need to acknowledge the truth
