Reflection
Discovering Self Through Relationships: "Reflection" by Brittney Chantele
Lyrics
When I met you I stumbled into a dream
Meeting you felt like entering a dream unexpectedly
I swear that I had never felt so seen
I genuinely felt understood in a way I never had before
My heart woke up the moment our eyes met
My heart became alive the instant our eyes connected
And just like that a weight stepped off my chest
A burden seemed to lift from me at that moment
They say
Referring to a common belief or saying
Relationships are a reflection of the self
Emphasizing that relationships mirror one's own identity
And I
Expressing a personal perspective
I don't like the way I look with anybody else
Feeling uncomfortable or dissatisfied with appearances when not with the partner
Sometimes it's hard
Admitting that relationships can be challenging at times
But you help me to grow
Acknowledging the partner's role in personal growth
You're my best reflection
Addressing the partner as the speaker's best reflection
Come here let me show you
Inviting the partner to witness and experience this reflection
Come here let me show you
Reiterating the invitation for emphasis
Come here
Reinforcing the call for closeness and intimacy
Touch me tease me
Suggesting physical affection and playfulness
No second is the same
Highlighting the uniqueness of every moment in the relationship
Ya call me out
Partner noticing and addressing the speaker
Or calling out my name
Recognition of the partner by calling their name
Smiling crying all of it's a part
Acknowledging the emotional spectrum experienced in love
Of growing in love
Emphasizing personal growth through love and vulnerability
And opening my heart
Opening up emotionally and spiritually in the relationship
They say
Reiteration of the idea that relationships reflect one's self
Relationships are a reflection of the self
Restating the discomfort with appearances in other relationships
And I
Reaffirming the personal perspective on appearances
I don't like the way I look with anybody else
Reiterating the challenges in relationships
Sometimes it's hard
Acknowledging the partner's role in overcoming difficulties
But you help me to grow
Affirming the partner as the speaker's best reflection
You're my best reflection
Repeating the invitation to show the partner's significance
Come here let me show you
Emphasizing the urgency and importance of showing the partner
Come here let me show you
Repeating the invitation for added emphasis
Come here
Restating the call for closeness and intimacy
Ohhh whoa whoa
Expressing a sense of awe or admiration
Come here let me show you
Repeating the invitation with emotional emphasis
Ohhh whoa whoa
Reiterating the emotional emphasis on the invitation
Come here let me show you
Continuing the emotional emphasis on the invitation
Ohhh whoa whoa
Further emphasizing the emotional invitation
Come here let me show you
Continuing the emotional emphasis on the invitation
Ohhh whoa whoa
Reiterating the emotional emphasis on the invitation
Come here let me show you
Continuing the emotional emphasis on the invitation
Ohhh whoa whoa
Concluding with emotional emphasis on the invitation
Ohhh whoa whoa
Concluding with the emotional emphasis on the invitation
Come here let me show you
Final reinforcement of the invitation with emotional emphasis
