Arcade Fire - Reflektor Lyrics
Trapped in a prison,
in a prism of light.
Alone in the darkness,
a darkness of white.
We fell in love,
in the reflective age.
Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.
Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts.
[Translation: "Between the night, the night and the dawn. Between the realm of the living and the dead."]
If this is heaven,
I don't know what it's for.
If I can't find you there,
I don't care.
I thought I found a way to enter;
it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
I thought I found the connector;
it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
Now the signals we send
are deflected again.
We're so connected,
but are we even friends?
We fell in love when I was 19,
and now we're staring at a screen.
Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.
Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts.
If this is heaven,
I need something more.
Just a place to be alone,
cause you're my home.
I thought I found a way to enter;
I thought I found the connector;
it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
Just a reflector.
It's just a reflector, just a reflector.
It's just a reflector, just a reflector.
Just a reflector, reflector.
Just a reflector. [repeat x 7]
Just a reflection of a reflection
of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection (ah!),
but I see you on the other side.
We all got things to hide.
Just a reflection of a reflection
of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection (ah!),
but I see you on the other side.
We all got things to hide.
(Alright let's go back.)
Our song it skips
on little silver disks.
Our love is plastic,
and they break it to bits.
I want to break free,
but will they break me
down, down down,
don't mess around.
I thought I found a way to enter;
it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
I thought I found the connector;
it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
It's just a reflector. [repeat]
Thought you were praying to the resurrector;
turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
Thought you were praying to the resurrector;
turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
Thought you were praying to the resurrector;
turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)
Just a reflector.
Just a reflector.
Just a reflector.
But I see you on the other side.
Just a reflector.
(Ah!)
But I see you on the other side. (Reflector)
We all got things to hide. (Reflector)
Just a reflector.
But I see you on the other side.

One of those BIG heads looks like Jimmy Carter.
⚡🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲⚡
Masterpiece
This will reveal the meaning of life if you listen.
Have they brought David Bowie to the Resurrector yet?
That piano riff at 5:28 has been my soul since I discovered this song in my teens. 🤪🤪♥️ Love you Reflektor. The experience you give is unique, haunting and exhilarating. Rock on Arcade Fire 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
The Resurrector existed with Gd before the foundation of the earth. It's a pity Bowie was misdirekting til the end. To our great good fortune, it's not mirrors all the way down.
Micah 5:2
But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.
His goings forth are from long ago,
From the days of eternity.
Beautiful :v
I just love how this song changes it structure like 3 times, it is amazing~! Its been my favorite song ever since I heard it on the radio in 2013 and nearly had a car accident I got so into it.
Just heard this for the first time-jealous? I am. Of all you who heard it before me.
Imagine falling over in that mirror suit..
How incredible it is that at first I thought it was long and now I wish it lasted more! It changes 3 times and maybe it could change more so it was longer.
There aren't answers.. We are mirrors... Frustrating, but also what keeps us going.. Reflectors everywhere, in everything!
LOL.. That's what I get at least!
These guys are fucking brilliant!
The Arcade Fire had graced us with SUBURBS and had made sure we expect the world to collapse with their next album. What do they do? They release this gem. The album was hapless but this song? Oh man. I still am tuned into the first 3 AF albums and I never got over them. I hope their future albums are worthier. Other good songs on this album would be "we exist" and "normal person"
I didn't know Jimmy Carter was in Arcade Fire...
Eu perdi vocês lalLollapalooza
Such an occult video. Great song but im not into all the occult shite all these bagel eating musicians subscribe to.
Can anyone found that this album (single) can be famous as one of the best one? I'm fond of Arcade Fire since 2014 and nevermind they would be great!
Love it in 2019 .
This song makes me think that our phones are just pocket mirrors. That because algorithms are catered too you, they will only show you yourself.
first time listening to this. I LOVE IT. I have missed out on soo much :(
Existential AF :__; <3 <3
COUCOU MOI C'EST AMBRE
Re Bowie involvement on this track, he was actually second choice for backing vocal cameo according to Grace Jones (no relation, ahem) whom AF had wanted to contribute whist in Jamaica but she told me that record company politics wouldn't allow. BTW: she hadn't heard of James Murphy who I suggested would be a good choice for her then work-in-progress album being recorded c. 5 years ago, yet to be released.
el final es lo mejor :')
LYRICS
Trapped in a prison, in a prism of light
Alone in the darkness, darkness of white
We fell in love, alone on a stage
In the reflective age
[Pre-Chorus - Régine Chassagne]
Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore
Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts
If this is heaven
I don't know what it’s for
If I can’t find you there
I don't care
[Chorus]
I thought I found a way to enter
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
[Verse 2]
Now, the signals we send, are deflected again
We're so connected, but are we even friends?
We fell in love when I was nineteen
And now we're staring at a screen
[Pre-Chorus - Variation - Régine Chassagne]
Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore
Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts
If this is heaven
I need something more
Just a place to be alone
Cause you're my home
[Chorus]
I thought I found a way to enter
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Just a Reflektor
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
[Bridge 1]
It’s just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection of a reflection
But I see you on the other side? (Just a Reflektor)
We all got things to hide (Just a Reflektor)
It’s just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection of a reflection
But I see you on the other side (Just a Reflektor)
We all got things to hide (Just a Reflektor)
All right, let's go back
[Verse 3]
Our song it skips, on little silver discs
Our love is plastic, we'll break it to bits
I want to break free, but will they break me
Down, down, down?
Don't mess around
[Chorus]
I thought I found a way to enter
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Just a Reflektor
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
[Bridge 2: Win Butler & David Bowie]
Thought you were praying to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)
Thought you were praying to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)
Thought you were praying to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)
[Outro]
It’s a Reflektor
It’s just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
But I see you on the other side
It’s just a Reflektor
But I see you on the other side
We all got things to hide
It’s just a Reflektor
But I see you on the other side
You inspire me so much! I appreciate the band and thinking and feeling of the music and words!
Awesome song!! Love then
High praise
6 years ago today this master piece of a album came out ❤️
Im literally looking for a discoball to place infront of my windsheild. Im sure it will be a hit!
La mejor cancion de Arcafe Fire
*David Bowie the ninth planet* .
Is that Jimmy Carter?
wow its really been 6 years
I could listen to her speak French all day
MASTERPIECE
4:45 to the end is one of the best parts of any song this decade
this song is so good it hurts.
Seams bowie 💚💙❤️💛
Still my favorite track of all time
My fav AF record .. Loved the dance vibes 👌
Yall should listen to Running by Retrofile .. Gives me AF vibes i think they Canadian too
Going to listen to them right now!
Funeral and Neon Bible will always be my favorites but this album and The Suburbs are also excellent. Definitely one of the top 3 bands of the decade, IMO. These guys, MGMT, and Spoon.
Video totally out of synch with the music
When in Spotify? ☹️
What is the message though?
it's about the role technology has in isolating us from ourselves and our relationships
take a look at Kierkegaard works
S E N S A T I O N A L
2019 and this song still awesome!!!!!!
Put this back on spotifyyyyy please
Ever heard of a strange yet beautiful song? This is it
Yo the ending where win and chassagne are looking out the closing door is the exact same thing as the fight club scene. This song reminds me of fight club (the reflections are tyler durden and are a result of internal unawareness in the "reflective" age)
Suban el CD a Spotify! 😢
the more times you listen to this song, the more you will love it.
Why this isn't in Spotify?!?!?!?
0:56 the best music couple,
Reflektor is the best album of the decade in my opinion. A perfect masterpiece.
What's so great in this?
Just happened to click exactly 6 years to the day this was published. See you on the other side. 9/9/19
#inthereflectiveage
Music is phenomenal... But what is this video lol
I tried figuring it out but yea I gave up.
7000 people don't like this song? Wtf. What is wrong with some people? 😅
Being a massive Bowie fan! hoping the facts are real? electric lady land studios where this song was created, was a sync of genius events over decades... apparently Lennon walked in on Bowie writing Fame and gave him his wisdom.... and Bowie walked in on this and gave a piece of Lennon on this amazing track! plus vocals. love the Duke, Ziggy or whatever form the genius came too you. x
only the best music never tires.
Only 31 million views??? 😪
I cant stop listening to this song! There is just so much going on. The range of emotions and thoughts it provokes is just astounding! This is a great band, and I am happy they do what they do. This song is a masterpiece. Keep it up!
Comment if think this id their best song
Had no idea that Bowie was on this track when I first found it. When I heard him, my jaw dropped. I naturally started crying since I hadn't heard this song before he passed. I really miss him :(
MTV HITS brought me here
This song should never finish, just keep happening constantly, becoming like a rumour around your mind, never leaving you alone, happyly...
MAGNIFICA
la voz de David Bowie es impresionante. Era muy generoso con los músicos.
Heard it from snl a decade ago maybe still stuck
A una amiga le enseñé esté grupo.
Y le gustó mucho.
Tanto a sí que me invitó cuándo vinieron a México y ella me pagaba el boleto y el camión.
Y adivinen quien no fue??
😪
Bowie RIP
My friend once ask me if I had to listen to one song all eternity, what song would I be
No hesitation, I said Reflektor
Alguém? 2019
It's like an orgasm building up.
My favorite Montreal Band! Love that City too!
full art
full art
I don't know exactly why, but this intro is somehow satisfying to listen to.
reminds Talking Heads .... same inadequate
My best friend died in May. This song and Afterlife are so hard to listen now. :(
Yo, this is some of the most gnarly shit i’ve ever watched in a Music Video..
I already loved Arcade Fire but damn...
what r u doing? really miss this...
Btw, the Genius behind the production of the video was Mr Anton Corbjin.
2019 still sound fresh
