Reflections
Rob Curly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never understood a word she said all I understood was that
She was the girl I sat up every night thinking about
Yeah
(In love)
She′s so different
My mind chocked with vision
Of me, her, a baby
I know I just fucked up a good thing
Potentially great thing,
Potentially twin flames
A possibly soul mates
A maybe a just out my mind and
I can′t come to grips with this real life, I'm living
I don't know, how we got this way
I′m spending late nights just thinking about old days
I got these old pics
Saved in my old phones
I know it won′t help
Stop trying to hold on
Hope never leaves quick
Nah that always moves slow
Romance than just friends
I'd rather let go.
I thought she cared for me
What did she do or say to give you that impression
The way she talked to me
And smiled
Assumptions and wrong impressions
The main component of my life
It′s a life of lessons
I been learning from my mistakes
I got quite a bit, at oath
Can I catch a break
I mean for heaven sake
Yo
We started off awfully great
I thought we'd probably finish off lawfully wed
Maybe that′s some wishful thinking
And maybe I should slow my roll with the over drinking
But that's some wishful thinking
It′s funny how the highs turn to lows quick
It's funny how the lows make me want to roll it up
Maybe I should be grateful that you gave up
That way I don't waste my time trying to make us work
The song “Reflections” by Rob Curly tells the story of a man who is struggling to come to terms with a break-up. He reflects on the relationship he had with his former girlfriend and his own mistakes that led to the end of the relationship. He acknowledges that he may have messed up a good thing and lost his chance with his soul mate. He thinks about the old days spent with her and how they were in love. His mind is constantly choked with the vision of what could have been. He keeps holding on to hope, but he knows it won’t change anything. He wishes he could just let go and move on, but he is struggling to do so.
The lyrics suggest that the man is going through a difficult emotional period. He is grieving the relationship that he has lost and is having a hard time accepting the reality of the situation. He is trying to come to terms with his own mistakes while also dealing with the hurt of the break-up.
The song also touches upon themes of assumptions and wrong impressions. The man realizes that he had misconceptions about the relationship and what it meant to his ex-girlfriend. He was under the impression that she cared for him deeply, but he now questions that assumption.

She was always talking about these crazy things and
She spoke about things I couldn't comprehend
I never understood a word she said all I understood was that
I couldn't grasp her words, but I knew I loved her
She was the girl I sat up every night thinking about
She was the only one on my mind every night
She′s so different
She's unique and one of a kind
My mind chocked with vision
My mind was overwhelmed with thoughts
Of me, her, a baby
I fantasized about us having a child
A dreamer, it's crazy
I know it's unrealistic and just a dream
I know I just fucked up a good thing
I messed up a potentially great relationship
Potentially great thing,
We had the potential to be great together
Potentially twin flames
We could have been each other's soulmates
A possibly soul mates
Maybe we were meant to be together
A maybe a just out my mind and
Or maybe it's just my imagination
I can′t come to grips with this real life, I'm living
I can't accept the reality of losing her
I don't know, how we got this way
I'm not sure how we ended up like this
I′m spending late nights just thinking about old days
I'm reminiscing about the past when we were happy
I got these old pics
I have old photographs of us together
Saved in my old phones
They're saved on my old phone
I know it won′t help
I know looking at them won't solve anything
Stop trying to hold on
I need to let go of the past
Hope never leaves quick
It takes time for hope to fade away
Nah that always moves slow
It's a slow process
Romance than just friends
Our relationship was more than just friendship
I'd rather let go.
I'd rather move on
I thought she cared for me
I believed she loved me
What did she do or say to give you that impression
What made you believe that?
The way she talked to me
The way she spoke to me made me feel loved
And smiled
And her smile made me feel happy
Assumptions and wrong impressions
Misunderstandings and incorrect beliefs
The main component of my life
They're a crucial part of my life experiences
It′s a life of lessons
My life is full of valuable lessons
I been learning from my mistakes
I've been gaining knowledge from my errors
I got quite a bit, at oath
I have many lessons to learn
Can I catch a break
Can anything go right for me?
We started off awfully great
Our relationship had a great start
I thought we'd probably finish off lawfully wed
I imagined us getting married
Maybe that′s some wishful thinking
Maybe my hopes are too high
And maybe I should slow my roll with the over drinking
And maybe I should cut down on drinking excessively
But that's some wishful thinking
But still, it's just a wishful thought
It′s funny how the highs turn to lows quick
It's ironic how good times can turn bad quickly
It's funny how the lows make me want to roll it up
It's ironic how bad times make me want to smoke
Maybe I should be grateful that you gave up
Maybe it's better that she left
That way I don't waste my time trying to make us work
It's better so I can focus on moving on
