Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
Please, please be my light filter
Shine, make me a shelter to hide
Cause love makes you lose your sight
Now the search party’s on its way
And the flood lights on my face
All the shadows that I walk in
Are just my volatile second skin
[Chorus]
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you’re ready come into the light
[Verse 2]
Lines, design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes
To find, although I really tried
Only time is a lover’s guide
And now the railings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette
[Chorus]
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you’re ready come into the light
[Chorus (Variation)]
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I’ll go back to hide
[Chorus]
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you’re ready come into the light
[Chrous (Variation)]
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I’ll go back to hide
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Jednocześnie tekst mówi o pragnieniu wyjścia z tego ukrycia. Światło symbolizuje szczerość, bliskość i gotowość do pokazania prawdziwego siebie. Bohater chciałby wejść w relację, ale jest bardzo zależny od poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Jeśli druga osoba będzie gotowa, on również może „wyjść do światła”, natomiast jeśli zostanie opuszczony, ponownie się zamknie i schowa. To więc piosenka o konflikcie między potrzebą miłości a strachem przed zranieniem.
