Jigsaw Feeling Lyrics
Send me forwards-say my feelings
But all the signals-send me reeling
Jigsaw Feeling
One day I'm feeling total
the next I'm split in two
My eyes are doing somersaults
staring at my shoe
there's nothing to prevent
The impulse is quite meaningless
in a cerebral non-event
ten toes unravel 'Knots'
Amorphous jigsaw pieces
falling into slots
getting on my nerves
The intangible bonds that keep me
sitting on the verge...
of a breakdown
of a reaction
of a result
(defeat me...)..Complete me...maybe...defeat me
(Jigsaw feeling)
you mean a nirvana songs sounds like a siouxsie and the banshees songs. tisk tisk
It seems to me that this song is about some kind of manic-depression or something. I heard siouxsie saying that she couldn't and still can't fight against depression cicles, as a lot of people. This is not about the real disorder but maybe about how you can feel bored sometimes, pointless and that the feeling is neverending, going in circles again and again, pressing your brain, whithout control. A jigsaw feeling. And this is amazing about Siouxsie. Most of the people i know think that she must be depressed singing all of those dark songs, but she's not... as far as i know!
SIOUXSIE: It's when your limbs won't do what your brain wants them to. You're so confused that you can't co-ordinate your limbs to do something positive, and you just twist yourself in knots." Source: Melody Maker 21/10/78
Basically it is about matter beating mind, feeling forced into acting in a certain way or commit an action that your mind is dead set against.
@JJKelsall Even if this song is very personal. But it touched me like Joy Division's Disorder song. It talked to my heart when I was a teenager. My world was so confused that it helped me to face new hopes to reach new form of spirituality, not religions but hopes in science and intelligence. And in 2020, it seems that we are going back to puritanism and conservatism this 70's generation fought against!

the begining of this song sounds like some Nirvana song.great song.
@marthveron It's the contrary. Nirvana's song sounds like Siouxsie's song.
