Reflection
Unveiling the Hidden Soul: A Dance Movies Project Reflection
Lyrics
Look at me
Expressing a desire for attention or acknowledgment.
You may think you see
A suggestion that perceptions may not be accurate.
Who I really am
Questioning the understanding of one's true self.
But you'll never know me
Suggesting that true identity is hidden or elusive.
Every day
Highlighting a repetitive, daily act of playing a role.
It's as if I play a part
Recognition of playing a part in daily life.
Now I see
Realization of the impact of wearing a metaphorical mask.
If I wear a mask
Contemplating the ability to deceive the world.
I can fool the world
Acknowledging the limitation of deceiving one's own heart.
But I cannot fool my heart
Recognizing the inability to hide true feelings from oneself.
Who is that girl I see
Raising questions about self-identity and self-awareness.
Staring straight back at me?
Observing oneself and seeking self-recognition.
When will my reflection show
Pondering when true reflection will be revealed.
Who I am inside?
Questioning the authenticity of one's inner self.
I am now
Presenting the current state of existence.
In a world where I
Acknowledging the need to conceal true emotions.
Have to hide my heart
Expressing the necessity of hiding one's true feelings.
And what I believe in
Referring to the need to hide personal beliefs.
But somehow
Despite challenges, expressing determination to reveal oneself.
I will show the world
Commitment to showing the world one's true self.
What's inside my heart
Sharing inner thoughts and feelings with the world.
And be loved for who I am
Desiring acceptance and love for one's authentic self.
Who is that girl I see
Reflecting on self-identity once again.
Staring straight back at me?
Seeking recognition and understanding from oneself.
Why is my reflection
Questioning the unfamiliarity of one's own reflection.
Someone I don't know?
Expressing confusion about self-perception.
Must I pretend that I am
Contemplating the need to pretend and adopt a false identity.
Someone else for all time?
Questioning the perpetual act of pretending.
When will my reflection show
Reiterating the desire for authentic self-reflection.
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be
Highlighting the importance of a liberated heart.
Free to fly
Emphasizing the inner desire to be free and unrestricted.
That burns with a need to know
Describing a burning curiosity to understand one's purpose.
The reason why
Questioning the reasons behind inner yearnings.
Why must we all conceal
Raising questions about societal expectations and concealment.
What we think, how we feel?
Questioning the necessity to hide thoughts and emotions.
Must there be a secret me
Contemplating the existence of a hidden, suppressed self.
I'm forced to hide?
Expressing reluctance to hide one's true identity.
I won't pretend that I'm
Rejecting the idea of pretending to be someone else.
Someone else for all time
Questioning the need for perpetual pretense.
When will my reflection show
Reiterating the desire for authentic self-reflection.
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Continuing the inquiry into when true reflection will occur.
Who I am inside?
Repeating the question about when inner self will
