In 'Reflections,' Tyler, The Creator delves into the struggle of self-perception and the challenges of understanding one's true identity. The song explores the concept of how self-image can be distorted, ultimately questioning what it means to truly know oneself. With heartfelt lyrics and introspective thoughts, Tyler captures the essence of feeling lost in one's own reflection.
Verse 1:
Looking in the mirror, I don’t see me,
Just a silhouette, lost in the mystery.
Face changes with the moods, shades shifting, see?
Who’s the stranger that keeps looking back at me?
Chorus:
Can’t tell if I’m the same, or just a ghost,
Fleeting moments, who’s the one I love the most?
Reflections lie, they twist and turn,
Searching for the truth, but it’s hard to learn.
Verse 2:
Photos can’t capture what I feel inside,
Every smile’s a mask that I wear with pride.
Colors blend, reality bends,
Who am I, where does this journey end?
Chorus:
Can’t tell if I’m the same, or just a ghost,
Fleeting moments, who’s the one I love the most?
Reflections lie, they twist and turn,
Searching for the truth, but it’s hard to learn.
Bridge:
Caught in a web, spinning my own thread,
Lost in thoughts, where’s the life I’d led?
Mirror shows a face, but the eyes are empty,
Can’t figure me out, oh, Lord, it’s tempting.
Verse 3:
Every day’s a puzzle I can’t solve,
Fixing pieces of me, but they don’t evolve.
Deep as the sea, but I can’t dive deep,
Afraid of what I’ll find, afraid of the leap.
Chorus:
Can’t tell if I’m the same, or just a ghost,
Fleeting moments, who’s the one I love the most?
Reflections lie, they twist and turn,
Searching for the truth, but it’s hard to learn.
Outro:
So here I stand, with all this doubt,
Trying to learn what life’s really about.
In every glance, I’ll keep my stride,
Maybe one day, I’ll learn to let me ride.

A song about not being able to perfectly percieve yourself, not even being able to tell what you actually look like.
