Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making mistakes, I excel, excel
Faking interest, it's hard, to tell
Such an invalid, oh well, oh well
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces, ah-ah
Hearing bad news, i shrug, i shrug
Caring there, i guess, i guess
It's all under, duress, duress
Such a phony, oh well, oh well
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces, ah-ah
Hold everything to pieces
Taking the blame, i win, i win
Playing the game again, again
I tried to run, I fell, I fell
Dust me off, oh well, oh well
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces, ah-ah
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces
Hold everything to pieces, ah-ah
Hold everything to pieces
The lyrics to "Pieces" by Д.Мазаев depict a person who is constantly failing and making mistakes in every aspect of their life. They try to fake interest and shrug off bad news, but they are still labelled as a phony. Despite taking the blame and winning, they still fall and need to be dusted off. The refrain of "hold everything to pieces" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that the person's life is falling apart and they are struggling to keep everything together.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that the person is experiencing a mental health crisis or breakdown. They may be self-sabotaging and unable to cope with the pressures of their life. They try to hide their struggles by faking interest and shrugging things off, but their true feelings are ultimately revealed in their failed attempts to succeed.
Another possible interpretation is that the person is simply a chronic underachiever or failure. They may not have the skills or motivation to succeed, and as a result, they are labelled as a phony and constantly falling apart.
Overall, "Pieces" is a haunting and introspective song that touches on themes of mental health, self-doubt, and failure.
