Lyrics
Shattered like a glass
Feeling broken and fragile, like shattered glass.
In a thousand pieces you stand
Being in numerous pieces, metaphorically and emotionally.
And all around you is the same but not like it used to be
Surrounded by a changed environment, not as it used to be.
You just don't remember quite who you are
Experiencing memory loss, unsure of one's identity.
You have the feeling that you could be a star
Having aspirations of becoming successful or famous.
You're all in pieces but you hold yourself together
Maintaining composure despite being internally fragmented.
Going down to the lies that you told
Descending into deception and falsehoods told in the past.
The friends you left alone and bleeding when you were so clever and cold
Abandoning friends callously in the pursuit of personal gain.
Take another bow
Accepting acknowledgment or praise, possibly sarcastically.
You put yourself where you are don't throw in the towel
Taking responsibility for one's current situation, not giving up.
Let's pretend that it's total amnesia
Suggesting the idea of pretending to have total amnesia.
Change your clothes begin all over again
Symbolic act of starting afresh, discarding the past.
Who are you? Who am I?
Questioning identity and self-awareness.
Well you are what you say you are and I am what you say
Defining oneself based on others' perceptions and judgments.
And you could be tomorrow what you say you are today
Expressing the potential for change and evolution.
I'm glad it's only total.amnesia
Expressing relief that the amnesia is not real but metaphorical.
That's no way to stay
Rejecting the idea of remaining in a state of brokenness.
Pick up all the pieces again
Encouraging self-restoration and rebuilding.
Stand around and make em laugh they'll really believe that it's you
Engaging in a facade to make others believe in the persona.
You had the feeling you were once in a dream
Recalling a dreamlike state and feeling disconnected from reality.
And you were part of a peculiar theme
Being part of an unusual or unique experience.
Where all the world was broken down and all so shallow
Describing a world that is both broken and shallow.
But now it's a happier place
Contrasting the past with a current, happier state.
And you would never ever leave it until they took you out of the race
Unwillingness to leave a contented situation until forced out.
Forget the day before
Encouraging forgetfulness of the past, particularly hardships.
When you were banging on the door, don't throw in the towel
Recalling a moment of persistence despite challenges.
( Don't do it.Don't do it)
Let's pretend that it's total amnesia
Reiterating the idea of pretending to have total amnesia.
Change your clothes begin all over again
Repeating the symbolic act of starting anew.
Who are you? Who am I?
Continued questioning of identity and self-awareness.
Well you are what you say you are and I am what you say
Emphasizing the influence of others' perceptions on self-definition.
And you could be tomorrow what you say you are today
Highlighting the potential for personal evolution and change.
I'm glad it's only total.amnesia
Expressing relief that the amnesia is not a permanent condition.
Going down to the lies that you told
Returning to the theme of deception and lies told in the past.
The friends you left alone and bleeding when you were so clever and cold
Reiterating the callous abandonment of friends in pursuit of personal gain.
I don't remember my name or number da doo doo da doo doo day
Expressing complete forgetfulness of personal identity.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Who am I?
Asking a fundamental question about one's identity.
Who am I? Who am I?
Repetition of the identity questioning, emphasizing uncertainty.
