Getaway
Reflection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pay them no mind
But it’s hard when there’s no room
Save them one time
And they’ll take every part of you
The mask is the pass in the open
Making sure they can’t get the feel of the room
But when there’s no more mask to distract from what’s broken
I’m just doing anything to try not to lose
Get away from me
Away from me
Stay away from me
Away from me
Don’t cross the line
I don’t want anything new
This is my mind
And I can take it back from you
The mask is the pass in the open
Making sure they can’t get the feel of the room
But when there’s no more mask to distract from what’s broken
I’m just doing anything to try not to lose
Get away from me
Away from me
Stay away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me




Away from me
Away from me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Reflection's song "Getaway" convey a strong desire for personal space and a need to protect oneself from others. The opening lines, "Pay them no mind, but it's hard when there's no room," suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed by the presence and influence of others. They feel like there is no space for themselves and their own thoughts and emotions.


The line "Save them one time and they'll take every part of you" implies a sense of betrayal or exploitation. The singer may have previously opened up to people, only to be taken advantage of or hurt. This has led to a loss of trust and a need to create distance between themselves and others.


The mention of a mask as a pass in the open indicates that the singer uses a facade or a false persona to protect themselves from others. The mask acts as a barrier, preventing others from truly understanding and connecting with them on a deeper level. However, the line "when there's no more mask to distract from what's broken" suggests that the singer is aware that this coping mechanism is not a long-term solution. They are aware of their own internal struggles and vulnerabilities that they are trying to hide.


The repeated refrain of "Get away from me, stay away from me" reflects the singer's strong desire for solitude and independence. They are pushing others away, not wanting anything new or anyone to cross the line into their personal space. The phrase "this is my mind, and I can take it back from you" highlights the singer's determination to reclaim control over their own thoughts and emotions.


Overall, "Getaway" conveys a sense of self-preservation and the need for personal boundaries. It speaks to the struggle of maintaining one's individuality and protecting oneself from the influence of others. The lyrics emphasize the importance of finding a way to navigate through life while trying not to lose oneself in the process.

Pay them no mind
Ignore their presence and opinions

However, it becomes challenging when there's little space for oneself


Save them one time
Help them once


And they’ll take every part of you
And they will exploit and drain you entirely

Stay distant from me


Stay away from me
Remain far away from me
