'''「イントロ」'''
Εκ λόγου άλλος εκβαίνει λόγος.
'''「ヴァース１」'''
{{Ruby|水面|みなも}}に映る自分が言った
「ああ、わたしは悪いサメです」
'''「プレコーラス」'''
ずっと恐れていた 赤く光るその目
海の底 暗闇に消えていく
'''「コーラス」'''
どうして （Your tired eyes）
泣くのよ （Begin to fall）
欲しいものなら全部手に入れた
教えて （Your darkest thoughts）
わたしは （Unleash them all）
望んでいたわたしになれたかな
嘘はつかない でも本当じゃない
本音は言わない方が楽じゃない？
いつかは （A time and place）
どこかで （For darker days）
分かり合える時が来るの？
'''「ポストコーラス」'''
Look at this so-called “gem of the sea”
Odd & scrawny, don’t you see what I mean?
Return to what you know, it ain't much I know.
Heh, it shows
'''「ヴァース２」'''
わたしはあなたとは違うの やめてよ
決めつけはもう大っ嫌い（大っ嫌い）
理想の姿じゃなくていいの
わたしらしくあれば ただわかって欲しいだけよ
Heh! 理想通りじゃなきゃ意味なんてない
希望も夢すらなくて 辛い 辛い 辛い 辛い
あなたらしさ あるのかしら？
諦めて楽になろう さあ
'''「プレコーラス」'''
ずっと追い求めた わたしなりの答え
自分には嘘はつきたくないの
'''「ヴァース２」'''
ごめんね （One story ends）
今まで （Begin again）
気付かなかったことがあるんだけど
こうして （While hand-in-hand）
あなたが （Until the end）
いてくれたから今のわたしがいる
過去はいらない？ そんなことはない
未来は見えない方がマシじゃない？
ここから （No matter where）
静かに （Watch over me）
わたしを見守っていてね
'''「ポストコーラス」'''
So, you think that’s all huh?
Just gonna leave like it's nothing?
Going without ME?
I don’t know what you’re THINKING!!
Return to the SEA
A shark is ALL you’ll ever BE
'''「コーラス」'''
さよなら （Our story ends）
ありがとう （Begin again）
隠していたわたしはもういない
さよなら （Once hand-in-hand）
ありがとう （Until the end）
全て受け入れて生きていくから
海の底はつまらないけど
あなたのことは忘れないから
いつでも （No matter where）
どこでも （Watch over me）
わたしらしく生きていこう
'''「アウトロ」'''
Ουδέν κακόν αμιγές καλού.

'''[Intro]'''
One word brings another.
'''[Verse 1]'''
My reflection in the water speaks to me
She says I am a bad, bad shark
'''[Pre-Chorus]'''
Her terrifying gaze
Her glowing red eyes
Begin to sink into the void at the bottom of the sea
'''[Chorus]'''
Why, oh why? (Your tired eyes)
Why do you cry? (Begin to fall)
I got you everything you craved
Tell me if I (Your darkest thoughts)
Can ever be (Unleash them all)
The me you wanted me to be
No lies, but also no truths
A life of no transparency is so much more smooth
But someday (A time and place)
Somewhere (For darker days)
Will we find common ground?
'''[Post-Chorus]'''
Look at this so-called “gem of the sea”
Odd & scrawny, don’t you see what I mean?
Return to what you know, it ain't much I know.
Heh, it shows
'''[Verse 2]'''
I'm not like you
Stop it
I hate the way you judge me (I hate you)
I don't need to conform to any ideals
I just want to be myself
I just want to be understood
Heh! If you don't conform, then why were you even born?
There ain't no hopes, there ain't no dreams
Only pain, pain, pain, pain
Be yourself?
Do you know who you are?
Give it up and ride the wave
Just chill
'''[Pre-Chorus]'''
I've been searching and searching
And finally found my answer
I will not lie to myself anymore
'''[Chorus]'''
Forgive me (One story ends)
All this time (Begin again)
I've been too blind to see
I'm only here (While hand-in-hand)
Because you've been there by my side
The past's not important? That's not right
A life that's unpredictable is so much more bright
From here on out (No matter where)
Just stay out (Watch over me)
And watch how I live my life
'''[Post-Chorus]'''
So, you think that’s all huh?
Just gonna leave like it's nothing?
Going without ME?
I don’t know what you’re THINKING!!
Return to the SEA
A shark is ALL you’ll ever BE
'''[Chorus]'''
Goodbye (Our story ends)
Thank you (Begin again)
I will hide my heart's desires no more
Goodbye (Once hand-in-hand)
Thank you (Until the end)
I will accept my everything and live strong
The deep sea is a boring place
But I'll keep you in my thoughts forever
No matter when (No matter where)
No matter where (Watch over me)
I'll live life true to myself
'''[Outro]'''
Nothing bad is without something good.

* According to Gura, "REFLECT" is a song about battling her own innermost thoughts and overcoming self-doubt.<ref>(June 24, 2021) Retrieved from https://youtu.be/2Rh-vayAfYg?t=922</ref>
* Gura has acknowledged that the Greek word αμιγές (''amigés''), found in the song's outro, can be misheard as ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Among_Us Among Us]''. Gura stated that this was unintentional.<ref>(June 24, 2021) Retrieved from https://youtu.be/2Rh-vayAfYg?t=1409</ref>
