pieces
Chris Singleton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're following everyone
You don't know where you've gone
You just kept moving on
I'm picking up the pieces of everything
I'm looking out for you
I'm doing all I can to see you through
I want to be all that you want me to
But you're everyone's reason
And I'm everyone's fool
What are we coming to?
I'm picking up the pieces of everything
I'm looking out for you
I'm doing all I can to see you through

The singer recognizes that the person is struggling, and they want to help. The singer is picking up the pieces of everything and doing all that they can to help this lost person.
However, the singer knows that they cannot be everything to everyone. They want to be all that this lost person wants them to be, but they are also aware that they are everyone's fool. They are not sure what the world is coming to when people are lost and wandering, and no one seems to be there to help. Despite this, the singer still tries to do what they can to help, to pick up the pieces of everything and look out for the lost person.

At the same time, the lyrics acknowledge the complexity of trying to be there for everyone and the limitations of being able to solve all problems.
