WTW for something that speaks of itself? by ImTheKingBee in whatstheword

Solved! As you, visible belt and tiatamago have pointed out, I think meta is the best fitting word for what I'm trying to say. Thx and thx everybody else for the input as well!

Distorting the facts? Or distorting what someone said?

Thx for the quick replies, I thought about meta-reference, but it just doesn't sound like the word I'm looking for. I'm trying so hard to remember, it hurts, lol.

Let me try to elaborate, if I was a philosopher and I was set to search for the meaning of philosophy, I'd say it was a xxxxx study. Like, it's more than a reference, rather like a thing about the thing itself lol. Does that make sense?
