In relation to Portal 2, I've always heard this song as if a third party were watching you (playing as Chell) and wrote a song about your experience through the game. Documenting your thoughts and encounters throughout.

"Does it feel like a trial" - You're constatly being tested. "Well, you lived so much" - You can't die in this game, it will keep going until you finish. "Have you given up?" -

"Does it trouble your mind The way you trouble mine?" - I see this as it "troubles your mind" as the puzzles are tricky, but "the way you trouble mine" (GLaDOS) is just as troubled/annoyed by your persistence.

My Interpretation

my thoughts exactly about the trial. I really like the part about marbles on glass too.
