Reflection
AlneA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking to your ghost
Wishing you were here
Waiting by the door
I will smoke one more cigarette
And slowly walk home
I will smoke one more cigarette
Burning up my soul
Take me where my eyes can't see
Take me where we'll find peace
Again
Will you hate me if I stay here?
Will you hate me if I disappear?
The lyrics of AlneA's song Reflection are emotionally charged as they deal with feelings of sorrow, longing, and regret. The first line "I'm drinking up a beer" suggests the singer is trying to cope with their emotions and find solace in drinking. They are then "talking to your ghost", indicating someone close to them has passed away or left and they are struggling to come to terms with their absence. The line "Wishing you were here, waiting by the door" highlights their yearning for this person's presence, perhaps hoping for a reunion or reconciliation.
As the song progresses, the singer mentions smoking a cigarette, a habit often associated with stress and anxiety. The line "Burning up my soul, my dear" could be interpreted as the singer's soul is slowly being destroyed by their emotions and they are unable to find peace. The chorus "Take me where my eyes can't see, take me where we'll find peace, again" suggests that they are looking for an escape from their current state of mind. The final two lines "Will you hate me if I stay here? Will you hate me if I disappear?" showcases the singer's internal conflict and uncertainty about what they are feeling and whether their actions will be judged by this person.
