Lost in Her Reflection: A Tale of Unfitting Puzzle Pieces
Lyrics
She is the girl

I've never seen before
Highlighting the unfamiliarity of the girl.
Creeping over behind the screen of her phone

She is the muse
Referring to the girl as the source of inspiration (muse).
Possessing everything I've got
Implies the girl possesses the singer's possessions or qualities.
'And she looks like me
Comparing the girl's appearance and actions to the singer's own traits.
She walks like me
-And she breathes like me
-And I want to see her loose

In this world
Reflecting on the feeling of not fitting into societal norms.
Made for nobody
-We are unfitting puzzle pieces
Suggesting that both the singer and the girl are like mismatched puzzle pieces.
'And I'm so scared, cause she might be me all along
Expressing fear that the girl may be a reflection of the singer.
Cause she sings like me

And she might be the one that will drain all of me

Everything I want

I'm losing
Expressing a sense of losing oneself.
All of my five senses
Describing the diminishing of the singer's five senses.
I see through the smoke
Perceiving a scene with smoke, lakes, and wired fences.
Two lakes and wired fences
-'And I'm not scared, cause the only voice I hear is her's
Feeling unafraid due to hearing the girl's voice within.
And It's calling me
-From inside of me
-To be part of me
Being urged to become part of the girl to resolve mental chaos.
So I can fill this mess in my head
-From all the funny noises
Feeling connected to the girl despite external influences.
I'm tied by my choice
-To all of her pretty faces
-'And it's okay, cause she doesn't speak as others do
Accepting the girl's unique way of communication.
Cause she's scared like me
Highlighting the girl's shared fears, screams, and struggles.
She screams like me
-And she drowns like me
-Cause she's dying in her sleep
Suggesting the girl is undergoing internal turmoil during sleep.
She's walking in the streets
Desiring to see the muse in public, acknowledging the potential emotional drain.
Cause she might be the one, that will drain all of me
-She is my muse and she tries to be
Reiterating the girl's role as the singer's muse and desire.
Everything I want
-Because the only one I know is here
Emphasizing the singer's limited knowledge of oneself.
