pieces
Belle Andrew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me
Got ourselves a problem
I can see
This better than I solve 'em

I believed
I found a way around it
I will leave

This better than I found it

There’s too much smoke to see it
There’s too much broke to feel this
I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces

There’s too much smoke to see it
There’s too much broke to feel this
I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces

History’s a letter made of scarlet
Victories look better when you’ve called it
Misery’s the moment when I lost you
It’s pleasure in a costume
It’s more than what it cost you

There’s too much smoke to see it
There’s too much broke to feel this
I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces

There’s too much smoke to see it
There’s too much broke to feel this
I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces

All of your pieces
All of your pieces
All of your pieces

All of your pieces
All of your pieces
All of your pieces

There’s too much smoke to see it
There’s too much broke to feel this
I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces

There’s too much smoke to see it
There’s too much broke to feel this

I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces

Overall Meaning

In "Pieces," Belle Andrew sings about a problematic relationship where there is too much damage to feel the love. She acknowledges that they have a problem, but she's not sure if she can solve it. She tells her partner that she still loves them even though there's too much smoke and brokenness to see and feel it. She thought she had found a way around the issue, but she realizes that leaving it is better than trying to fix it. The chorus "I love you, I love you, and all of your pieces" indicates that she still loves her partner, including all their flaws.

The second verse explores the history and the aftermath of their relationship. The pain and misery she experienced without her partner are evident. Yet, she realizes that it's all part of their story. Even though they experienced both victories and losses, she still loves her partner. The line "It’s pleasure in a costume, it’s more than what it cost you" indicates that the good moments may not have been genuine, and things may have come at a high cost.

Overall, "Pieces" is a song about a turbulent relationship where the love is still present, but the damage is too much to bear.

Line by Line Meaning

You and me Got ourselves a problem I can see This better than I solve 'em
We both have a problem and I can see it more clearly than I can solve it.

I believed I found a way around it I will leave This better than I found it
I thought I had a solution, but I will leave things better than I found them.

There’s too much smoke to see it There’s too much broke to feel this I love you, I love you And all of your pieces
Things are too chaotic to make sense of, but I still love you and accept all of your flaws.

History’s a letter made of scarlet Victories look better when you’ve called it Misery’s the moment when I lost you It’s pleasure in a costume It’s more than what it cost you
The past is stained with pain and regret. Success feels good when it's earned, and losing you was painful but it helped me realize that pleasure can hide behind a facade and can be worth more than what it cost to achieve.

All of your pieces All of your pieces All of your pieces
I accept and love every aspect of you, even the broken parts.

Oh my god i love the first 12 seconds so much
It´s so light and beautiful with just a hint of sadness and then in the last second before the drums get in the sadness overwhelms the other good emotions
It´s beautiful and devastating at once
But it´s still so subtle

I remember the first day that Belle dropped Black Bear. I was going through so much my junior year of HS. By September of 2014, I went to his concert in LA and I fucking cried. Years have gone by (I am in Medical School) and I just heard the song on S2 of "You". I began crying because I couldn't believe that I still knew the words by heart. I am so glad that Andrew Belle is growing. ❤
