Lyrics
Yesterday there was a man
Reflection on a past encounter with a man
Standing in my expensive boots
Noting the man's presence in the speaker's expensive boots
It's hard to say where he came from
Uncertainty about the man's origin
I can't seem to shake these substitutes
Feeling unable to rid oneself of substitutes or replacements
Isn't it fun losing your mind
Expressing the amusement or irony in losing one's mind
Bending underneath that pressure
Describing the pressure that causes one to bend or yield
Here what it's like pieces of life
Reflecting on the fragmented nature of life
Pieces of mind
Referring to the fragmented state of the mind
It's here again scratching at the door
Reappearance of a challenging situation
Just when you thought the coast was clear
Suggesting unexpected challenges when one thinks it's safe
It's hard to say how this begins
Uncertainty about the origin or cause of the challenge
But why can't you let me under your skin
Desire for emotional intimacy or understanding
Isn't it fun losing your mind
Reiteration of the amusement or irony in losing one's mind
Bending underneath that pressure
Continued reference to pressure and bending
Here what it's like pieces of life
Reiteration of the fragmented nature of life
Pieces of mind
Reiteration of the fragmented state of the mind
Isn't it fun losing your mind
Reiteration of the amusement or irony in losing one's mind
Kneeling inside that pressure
Reference to kneeling under pressure, implying submission
Here what it's like pieces of life
Reiteration of the fragmented nature of life
Pieces of mind
Reiteration of the fragmented state of the mind
