Reflections
fly anakin & henny l.o. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You look so different recently
Can't even recognize your face
I see your smile when you look at me
And I can tell something has changed
Cause we've been going round and round in circles for so long
That I can't figure out anymore where this went wrong
Is it the way you smile
Is it the way you speak
Is it the reason the care in your eyes looks nothing more than weak
My heart is drowning my lungs again
Words cannot demonstrate the pain
You see my eyes start to shift and then
We both know something must have changed
Cause hate keeps drifting round and round in my head and it's wrong
And love's consumed by power, lust and a promise I thought was strong
Is it the way you smile
Is it the way you speak
Is it the reason the care in your eyes looks nothing more than weak
Is it the things I've done
Could this just all be me
Am I the reason love is a joke and I'm no longer free
Is it the way you smile
Is it the way you speak
Is it the reason the care in your eyes looks nothing more than weak
Is it the things I've done




Could this just all be me
Am I the reason love is a joke and I'm no longer free

Overall Meaning

In "Reflections," Fly Anakin & Henny L.O. explore the complexities of a deteriorating relationship and the introspection that comes with it. The lyrics suggest a sense of confusion and loss as the singer notices significant changes in their partner. They express how the once familiar face has become unrecognizable, emphasizing the emotional distance between them.


The song highlights the impact of these changes on the singer's perception. They mention the smile their partner displays when looking at them, which implies that there are still remnants of affection. However, there is an underlying sense of detachment and a realization that something has shifted. The repetition of going "round and round in circles" suggests a cycle of arguments and unresolved issues that have contributed to their relationship's decline.


The lyrics also raise questions about the causes of these changes. The singer wonders if it's the way their partner smiles or speaks or if it's related to the lack of sincerity in their caring eyes. They question their own actions, suggesting a self-reflective approach to understanding the situation. The line about the heart drowning the lungs captures the emotional turmoil and inability to express the pain in words.


The second verse delves deeper into the conflicting emotions experienced by the singer. They highlight the presence of hate and its ability to cloud their thoughts. Love, which should be synonymous with strength and connection, is portrayed as being consumed by power, lust, and broken promises. This contrasts with the initial belief in the strength of their relationship, leading to further confusion and disappointment.


Once again, the lyrics pose the question of whether the changes and problems lie solely with the singer. They question themselves, wondering if they are the reason love has become a mockery and they no longer feel free. This introspective examination suggests a sense of personal responsibility and the desire to understand their own role in the relationship's downfall.


In summary, "Reflections" delves into the emotional complexity of a deteriorating relationship. The lyrics emphasize the confusion and loss the singer experiences as they observe changes in their partner. They question the causes of these changes, considering both their partner's actions and their own. The song explores the emotions of resentment, self-doubt, and longing for freedom, showcasing a deep introspection into the intricacies of a failing love.
