British journalist Kris Needs described “Jigsaw Feeling” as a:
“song of disorientation and bewilderment” with a “huge, sometimes awe-inspiring sound”.
Lyrically, the song describes a feeling of confusion and anguish (whose origin is not specified).
[Chorus]
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
[Verse 1]
One day I'm feeling total
The next I'm split in two
My eyes are doing somersaults
Staring at my shoe
My brain is out of my hand
There's nothing to prevent
The impulse is quite meaningless
In a cerebral nonevent
[Chorus]
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
[Verse 2]
Five fingers do my walking
Ten toes unravel 'Knots'
Amorphous jigsaw pieces
Falling into slots
[Chorus]
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
[Verse 3]
So I just sit in reverie
Getting on my nerves
The intangible bonds that keep me
Sitting on the verge of a breakdown
Of a reaction, of a result
[Outro]
Can't beat me, complete me
Maybe defeat me
Defeat me, jigsaw feeling
Defeat me
