Piece By Piece
Confession Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Piece by Piece, you're pulling me down, down, down
You're on your knees waiting for the lights to go out
Your hopes and dreams have all been cast away
Addictions lead so many friends astray

Give me some breathing space
Just a second to catch my breathe
Relax and check reality out for its self
Release your hands from around my neck
Release me from the shackles keeping me at bay

Piece by Piece, you're pulling me down, down, down
You're on your knees waiting for the lights to go out
Your hopes and dreams have all been cast away
Addictions lead so many friends astray

Give me some breathing space
Just a second to catch my breathe
Relax and check reality out for its self
Release your hands from around my neck
Release yourself because it seems like you have given up

Release yourself 'cause it seems like you've given up

Piece by Piece, you're pulling me down, down, down
You're on your knees waiting for the lights to go out




Your hopes and dreams have all been cast away
Addictions lead so many friends astray

Autotune has its different levels of soft and extreme. T-pain and Lil Wayne use extreme autotune to get that robot-ish effect. In this song, there is some autotune, but not a lot.
