Lyrical Analysis of...
Reflection
- Yeah,[:38] one morning woke up to my parents fightin,
- I dont know why but all i knew is i was frightened.
- Was it something I did or was it something I said?
- I just dont know cause all those thoughts were racing through my head, now. (50 sec)
- A white boy in a white neighbourhood
- like people expect that life's supposed to be good.
- but what they were lookin at is what lies on the surface,
- but deep down inside was where the troubles stirred and formed fists,
- to knock me down when I thought that I could handle life,
- I knew I had to stay strong to make it through the strife. [1:05]
- I was fourteen when I found a girl I liked,
- we hit it off and together we could make it right.
- i found out that she was having troubles of her own,
- lonely life a woman coming from a broken home.
- One day I saw some red that made my stomach twist,
- Looked down at her arm and saw a slit wrist.
- Not wanting her to feel alone
- I took the plunge, and put the silver razor to my own. [1:25]
- That one action put me on the route to depression,
- tried to take my life twice guess i was pressin,
- the emotions of the people that i loved,
- wasnt looking for any help from above.
- This was an issue that I had to solve on my own,
- if i couldnt, had my thoughts on a headstone (1:40) [ayyy play on words]
- A lonely stoner self medicating, not sober,
- No healing done, that girl and I well we were over.
- shit, i was back to being alone, nobody to phone,
- when crazy irrational thoughts started to roam. [1:51]
- Ya know I figured I would think it through,
- but sometimes in life the healing just goes straight to you.
- All of a sudden the depression had lifted,
- I thought i was gifted with the new life i was given. [2:00]
- However some things are not always what they seem,
- That new life was just the start of a long dream.
- That even now as i write this twenty two years young,
- I look around and see that spring has never really sprung. [2:10]
- I guess I gotta live with the life that I've created,
- Sometimes i feel like the lives we live are all fated, [2:16]
- Struggles with adversity seems a human born condition, [go slower starting here]
- So please i really hope that your ears and mind have listened,
- To the truths that come from my heart and brain,
- Like Logic said if you drink to avoid the hurt well we call that champagne.
