Lyrics
Something's gone and something's over
Something has ended, and something is now concluded.
You put the pieces of yourself together
You are reconstructing the various aspects of your identity.
Put them all into a suitcase
Compiling these reconstructed aspects into a suitcase.
Wait for the next man, wait for the next place
Awaiting the next opportunity or place in life.
You think there's a better a place for you
You believe there's a more suitable place for you.
Where everything will be brand new
Anticipating a place where everything is new and improved.
And there you'll find yourself safe again
Envisioning a safe space where you rediscover yourself.
You won't make the same mistakes again
Confident that you won't repeat past mistakes.
All your anger and misgivings
Expressing emotions of anger and doubt.
Tie your shoes up, polish your mask
Preparing yourself, concealing true feelings behind a mask.
But all your anger and misgivings
Reiterating the presence of anger and doubt.
Makes you tattered round the edges
Resulting in a worn-out or damaged state.
You think there's a better a place for you
Believing in the existence of a more fitting place for you.
Where everything will be brand new
Envisaging a new place where everything is rejuvenated.
And there you'll find yourself safe again
Imagining a secure space for rediscovering yourself.
You won't make the same mistakes again
Confident that you won't repeat previous errors.
Next time someone comes along
When someone gets close enough to expose vulnerabilities.
Gets close enough to pull a loose thread
Revealing flaws or weaknesses like pulling a loose thread.
All of you comes crashing down
Resulting in a collapse of your entire self.
And there you are back where you started
Ending up back at the starting point.
You think there's a better a place for you
Persisting in the belief of a more suitable place for you.
Where everything will be brand new
Envisioning a place of complete renewal.
And there you'll find yourself safe again
Imagining a secure space for rediscovering yourself anew.
You won't make the same mistakes again
Expressing confidence in avoiding past mistakes.
