“Before You Start Your Day” is a melancholy, piano-driven track that uses the analogy of morning preparations in the aftermath of a rough night to discuss insecurities and the masking of oneself. This imagery of facially masking internal struggles is shared by previous track “Trapdoor:”
He wakes up...
[Verse 1]
Open the slits in your face
And start your day
You don't have much time
To make your slits look just right
[Refrain]
I'm in your mind
I'm singin'
I'm in your mind
I'm singin'
La-da, la-da
La-da, la-da
La-da
La-da-da
[Verse 2]
Look in the mirror and ask your soul
If you're alright
Put on the glitter
That your soul hides behind
[Refrain]
You're in my mind
I'm singin'
You're in my mind
I'm singin'
La-da, la-da
La-da, la-da
La-da
La-da-da
[Bridge]
Know you were made holy
Open up your eyes and see
The clouds above will hold you
The clouds above will sing
[Outro]
And in your mind
You're singing
La-da, la-da
La-da, la-da
La-da
La-da-da
