Reflections
Torre Lott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't keep no mirrors I'm terrified of reflection
Searching for answers my life I constantly question
This pressure breaking me down inside
Often I'm tossed In the gauntlet lost in my feelings
In need of spiritual healing, I'm fearing I ain't gone make it
I'm losing patience and sight of my destination displacing my motivation
I'm praying cause I can't take it
Feel like I'm walking through mazes
Stuck in amazement as faces watch and then follow you
Trace the pace & then follow suit
But never follow through
The path I walk is lonely
Only got a couple homies way to many phonies
That keep me guarded far from darkness gotta keep my distance
Forever wishing for something better
But all I get is shitty weather

Shine bright
Like the sun up in the summer
White light
Kiss your body kill your troubles
Shine bright

I'm at crossroads
I'm torn between a short existence and a long toll
Look to my left I see my death escaping all my problems
And to my right a shining light providing higher guidance
To my surprise I'm still conflicted on which way I should go
I'm running out of time
And my perception so distorted I can't trust my mind




To cope with fear been relying on smoke and mirror
I'm so lost inside the illusion I'm drowning I hope you hear

Overall Meaning

In Torre Lott's song "Reflections," the lyrics explore themes of self-doubt, internal struggles, and the search for meaning and guidance in life. The opening lines, "Don't keep no mirrors I'm terrified of reflection, searching for answers my life I constantly question," convey a deep fear and insecurity in facing one's own reflection, metaphorically representing a fear of confronting one's true self. The singer feels overwhelmed and broken under the pressure of life's challenges, feeling lost in their emotions and in need of spiritual healing. They fear that they won't be able to overcome these obstacles and are losing sight of their goals and motivation. This internal turmoil leads them to resort to prayer as a means of finding strength and relief from the overwhelming circumstances.


As the song progresses, it delves into the feeling of being trapped and constantly observed by others. The line "Feel like I'm walking through mazes, stuck in amazement as faces watch and then follow you" suggests a sense of being trapped and observed by others, unable to escape the judgments and expectations placed upon them. The singer expresses feelings of loneliness, with only a few genuine friends and an abundance of deceitful individuals surrounding them. This isolation further contributes to their struggle to find something better in life, as they feel constantly bombarded by negative experiences.


The chorus, "Shine bright like the sun up in the summer, white light, kiss your body, kill your troubles, shine bright," serves as a reminder to stay positive and hopeful, despite the difficulties faced. It encourages the listener to find strength within themselves and to embrace the light amidst the darkness.
