Reflections Lyrics

I keep seeing
The repetition of the same experiences and outcomes.

The same things
The same negative events and people that bring down the singer.

Over and over and over again
The endless cycle of feeling stuck and unable to change one's situation.

I will never understand,
The frustration of not being able to comprehend why things happen the way they do.

How the lowest people always get the upper hand
The observation that those who are less deserving seem to come out on top more often than those who work hard.

And as time ticks by
The feeling of time slipping away without any progress being made.

I sit and wonder why.
The contemplation of the unfairness in life and questioning one's own choices.

I ever gave a fuck about anything
The realization that nothing seems to matter and everything is futile.

Watch me fall asleep
The acceptance of defeat and giving up on one's goals and dreams.

Neck deep
The feeling of being trapped and suffocated by one's circumstances.

Hanging straight down,
The feeling of hopelessness and inability to escape.

Tied up
The feeling of being restrained and unable to take control of one's life.

...to the fucking ceiling
The feeling of being trapped and confined with no way out.

My pigmentation is turning black
The physical manifestation of the internal pain and struggle the singer is feeling.

Now I know that I'll never be turning back
The realization that things will never be the same and the past cannot be changed.

In this world.
The acknowledgement of the harsh reality and environment the artist is living in.

Where hell means home
The feeling of being trapped and unable to escape from a difficult living situation.

I will come up,
The determination to rise above and overcome the difficult circumstances.

From the bottom
The starting point of having nothing and hitting rock-bottom.

Through sticks
The challenges and obstacles the artist must overcome to succeed.

And stones
The hardships and tribulations that are faced on the journey to success.

It's all your fault
The resentment towards someone or something that has contributed to the artist's struggles and hardships.

I've become so hollow
The feeling of emptiness and loss of purpose due to the struggles faced.

An apparition
The feeling of being a ghost and not truly alive due to the emotional pain and trauma.

Of my own ghost
The realization that the emotional pain and trauma is self-inflicted and self-perpetuated.

I wont ever
The refusal to stoop to someone else's level or compromise oneself.

Crawl down to your level
The refusal to let someone else bring the singer down to their level or hold them back.

I'd rather
The acceptance of choosing one's own path and priorities, regardless of what others may think.

Rot in limbo
The acknowledgement of the difficult path ahead, but the determination to see it through, even if it means staying in an uncomfortable state.

Sit here,
The feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward.

And play this game
The acceptance that life is a game with challenges and obstacles that must be faced.

Let's skip the introduction
The feeling of not wanting to waste time on formalities and meaningless interactions.

And say no names
The acknowledgement that it doesn't matter who the artist is or what their name is in the grand scheme of things.

My own.
The acceptance of oneself and one's own identity.

Is my own
The ownership and control over one's own thoughts, feelings, and actions.

In rooms of thousands
The feeling of being surrounded by others but still feeling alone and isolated.

I still stand alone
The acknowledgement that the singer is on their own path and must rely on themselves to get through the struggles and hardships.

Why am I
The question of why the singer feels so disconnected and empty despite being surrounded by others.

The only one
The feeling of being isolated and unique in one's struggles.

With eyes as empty as the ocean
The depth and intensity of the emotional pain and emptiness the artist is feeling.

I knew I should have known
The acknowledgement of past mistakes and regrets.

I wish I never let you see what I've shown
The regret of being vulnerable and exposed to someone who has caused pain and hurt.

I've lost
The feeling of hopelessness and despair.

All
The acknowledgement that everything has been lost and there is nothing left to hold onto.

Hope
The feeling of being defeated and without any optimism for the future.

I was born to
The acknowledgement of the artist's identity and purpose.

Be alone
The feeling of being an outsider and not fitting in with others, but also the acceptance of this as part of one's identity.
