Everything wrong with Disney

I react to Reflection (Mulan)

Lyrics in bold

Look at me,

Okay

I will never pass for a perfect bride,

No you won't

or a perfect daughter.

Nope

Can it be,

What?

I'm not meant to play this part?

I'm so confused. What part.

Now I see,

See what? Do I need glasses?

that if I were truly to be myself,

I would break my family's heart.

So your family has one heart. In all?
That's very weird.

Who is that girl I see,

What girl

staring straight back at me?

You, duh

Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

I don't know. Because the last time I checked, reflections show the person in front of them.

Somehow I cannot hide

Why would you hide?

Who I am, though I've tried.

Oh.

When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?

Do you really want to see your guts in the mirror?

How I pray, that a time will come,

For what

I can free myself, from their expectations

Oh. Me too kid. Me too. (Did anyone catch that reference? )

On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself,

You will? I was starting to doubt you.

and to make my family proud.

Okay.....

They want a docile lamb,

Why would they want that?

No one knows who I am.

Doesn't your family know?

Must there be a secret me,

You have a double life?

I'm forced to hide?

Why would you hide?

Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time?

Don't be a wannabe

When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

I don't know.

When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

Stop with the metaphors. Just stahp.

I get that this song is supposed to be metaphorical, but I thought it would be funny to have a chapter on it.
