About This Track

'Reflections' finds MisterWives caught between hope and self-protection. The track opens on ambivalence, a door left ajar that the narrator cannot ignore, and spirals inward from there. Lead singer Mandy Lee traces the architecture of a relationship that has already fractured, one where intimacy has given way to the work of letting go. The chorus distils this into a stark imperative: put yourself away, kill the spark, destroy anything that might remind you of them. What makes the song cut deeper is its refusal of clean resolution. The bridge admits that this person has rewired something fundamental, stolen sleep and awakened a better version of life, and yet the chorus returns unchanged. There is no triumph in the shattering. Lee's voice carries the weight of someone who understands that discipline and desire are not the same thing, and that sometimes the hardest choice is the one you have to make again and again.

"Reflections" is a track by MisterWives, from the album Reflections, released 7th January 2014. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Reflections

[Verse 1]

You didn't close the door

Left a crack open, I couldn't ignore

The faint possibility

Of having hope in this insanity

That we still could be

But we're stuck floating in between

[Chorus]

Put me on the shelf, discipline myself

To let the sparks die out

Shattering anything

That has reflections of you

You, you, you

[Verse 2]

Our eyes were closed with hearts open wide

Dismissed every rule to abide by

Our bodies undressed the layers of shy

Revealing the truth that was buried inside

Filled up of feelings

That now are bursting at the seams

[Chorus]

Put me on the shelf, discipline myself

To let the sparks die out

Shattering anything

That has reflections of you

You, you, you

[Bridge]

Unsure of what are my dreams, it seems

You've stolen my slumber and awakened another

Life within me that is better than any other

Reaching endless heights in never-ending nights

That can't be seen, put to bed this dream

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Put me on the shelf, discipline myself

To let the sparks die out

Shattering anything

That has reflections of you

You, you, you
