This song is about a girl (originally Mulan) trying to find exactly who she is, and Why she cannot do what she wants ("Why is my reflection someone else") and she wants to be her own person, an individual ("When will my reflection show") It can also be about a person who had a group of friends when she was very young, but as they got older, they all changed to be what the tabloids and media wants you to be, but she wanted to be different.
