<span>In this portion of the poem, “Man Listening to Disc,” Collins is referencing how the narrator is so entwined with the music being listened to through earphones that the person and the band being listened to can be considered one unit.  One possible interpretation of these lines is the message that music has such a unique ability to be uplifting and build confidence that one could consider himself or herself the proverbial center of the universe.</span>
