Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning
Didn’t recognize the man in the mirror
Then I laughed and I said, “Oh silly me, that’s just me”
Then I proceeded to brush some stranger’s teeth
But they were my teeth, and I was weightless
Just quivering like some leaf come in the window of a restroom
I couldn’t tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
But it was a Monday, no, a Tuesday
No, a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Then Saturday came around and I said
„Who’s this stupid clown blocking the bathroom sink?”
[Verse 2]
All he ever wanted was to be someone in life that was just like
„All I want is to just have fun, live my life like a son of a gun
I could be one thousand miles away but still mean what I say”
[Verse 3]
Then I woke up one morning
Didn’t recognize the man in the mirror
Then I laughed and I said, “Oh silly me, that’s just me”
Then I proceeded to not comb some stranger’s hair
Never was my style
But I couldn’t tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
Cause it was a Monday, no a, Tuesday
No, a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Then Saturday came around and I said
“Who’s this stupid clown blocking the bathroom sink?”
But he was sporting all my clothes
I gotta say, pretty pimpin’
[Verse 4]
All he ever wanted was to be a man
But he was always a little too cute to be admitted under „marbles lost”
He was always a thousand miles away while still standing in front of your face
[Verse 5]
Then he woke up this morning
Didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
Then laughed and said, “Oh silly me, that’s just me”
Then I proceeded to brush some stranger’s teeth
But they were my teeth, and I was weightless
Just quivering like some leaf come in the window of a restroom
And I couldn’t tell you what the hell it was supposed to mean
Cause it was a Monday, no, a Tuesday
No, a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Then Saturday came around and I said
“Who’s this stupid clown blocking the bathroom sink?”
But he was sporting all my clothes
I gotta say, pretty pimpin’
[Outro]
I woke up this morning, didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
I woke up this morning, didn’t recognize the boy in the mirror
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Osoba, która wypowiada się w piosence najprawdopodobniej choruje na zaburzenia osobowości. I o tym opowiada w tekście. Czuje się oddzielony od swojego ciała, poza nim. Nie poznaje swoich myśli i emocji, patrzy w lustro i nie rozpoznaje sam siebie. W slowach zachodzą subtelne zmiany w każdym kolejnym wersie. Dzięki temu zabiegowi autor opisuje różne manifestacje i postacie swojej choroby.
Opisuje rozwój schorzenia, to jak się zmienia, ewoluuje. Zaczyna od mówienia o sobie „ja”, kończy natomiast na „on” – obcość w stosunku do samego siebie nieustannie się rozwija.
W każdym kolejnym wersie autor opisuje czynności, które wykonuje, a które zdają się mu być zupełnie obce. Myję zęby obcemu człowiekowi, mówi, czeszę włosy. A obcy człowiek w nim staje się coraz silniejszy, mocniej zakorzeniony. Niedługo zniknie cała jego świadomość, pierwszoosobowa narracja.
