I know this must have been asked already before, but I can't find it and it's taking ages (which I don't have at the moment ). Could anyone please post the lyrics to "Reflection"? I would really appreciate it. I can understand most of it but I miss a few words here and there...
Thank you!

(my interpretation)

2 sevens 2gether
like time
indefinite

try 2 catch the clouds
before they fall

without a frown
can u turn up the stereo?
i wanna play u this old song
it's about love
can i do that?

did we remember 2 water the plants 2day?
i 4got 2 look up at the moon because
i was 2 busy
said i was 2 busy
i was 2 busy
looking at u, baby
still it's nice 2 know
that uh
if our bodies wear out
we can get another

what does that 1 thing have 2 do
with the other 1
i don't know
i was just thinking about her mother

u know what?
turn the stereo back down
ain't nothin' worse that an old worn out love song
tell me do u like my hair this way?
remember all the way back in the day
when we would compare who's afro was the roundest?

mirror tiles, above the bed
fishnets & posters, all over the walls
oh yes
sometimes
sometimes i just wanna go sit out on the stoop
and uh, play my guitar
just watch all
all the cars go by

nice lyrics I must say...

there's something fragile and delicate in the approach

Hey! Nice avatar, agarze!

lulirom said:

those aren't the official lyrics or anything, just something i took a moment to type out as the song played...

"ain't nothing worse than an old worn-out love song"

suomynona, i think you're right about these lyrics. of course my nasty mind wanted to change it to "ain't nothing worse than a ho on a love song" - yeah, i know it doesn't even make sense!!

i definitely think it's "2 sevens together" rather than "2 servants together" as i've seen posted elsewhere...

suomynona said:

Yes, I know... but it's still a very useful help for me.

i thought he was saying:

"i was just thinking about my mother", not "her mother"...well, now i'll just have to listen to this beautiful song again to find out!

I've been trying to work out what "two sevens together" could possibly mean...


Maybe I'm clutching at straws but if you add:

7 + 7


What do you get?


Answer:

('Reflection' could refer to both a reflected '7' - appearing like a heart shape - or Prince's reflective, nostalgic lyrics).


I'm probably VERY wrong!

This song is a fest.

i think it is a great litle tune
but i cant help thirsting for another couple of minutes.

maybe mani was born on the 7th day too.

DAMN RIGHT! I was so hopeful, and that sounds like something he came up with in the shower, walked over to the baby grand in the bathroom, threw the song out, and went back to scrubbing his corns.

What a let down.

Doesn't anyone think this song is a remake of "I Love You In Me" ? To me, Reflection sounds just like the live renditions of the song.

lovemachine said:

pretty much...that, and it so reminds me of p soundin like all these other cats that try 2 sound like him. it's pretty creepie.

Beautiful song.
I keep thinking that the line "two 7s together'' referred to Prince's rating of himself and his wife Mani. As in, "we're two 7s, together, Not 10s, 9s or 8s, but both 7s.
That's my guess, anyway.

or maybe Mani is a hermaphrodite and her 7" and prince's 7" together...

suomynona said:

Terrible, just awful...

suomynona said:

that's cold-blooded right there...

how about two 7's together...as in 77, the year it all started, so to speak.

everyone's entitled to their opinions, but it's hard for me to imagine how this song doesn't touch you. i dunno, i'm kinduva sappy fuck when it comes down to it, i guess.
