pieces

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brings me down to my knees
Tell me when it's alright
Tell me when it's alright
Going back to the start
This game that we play
Looking for a lifeline
I'm running out of free tries
You don't even know me, it's only a feeling
You gotta believe me
Darling, I'm just saying there ain't no shame in
Admitting you're lonely
You don't even know me, it's only a feeling
You gotta believe me
Darling, I'm just saying there ain't no shame in
Admitting you're lonely
'Cause I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces
I'm losing my words
Forgetting my lines
Knowing all the answers
No more second chances
I'm falling back in
Losing the time
Searching for a way home
But running down a wrong road
You don't even know me, it's only a feeling
You gotta believe me
Darling, I'm just saying there ain't no shame in
Admitting you're lonely
You don't even know me, it's only a feeling
You gotta believe me
Darling, I'm just saying there ain't no shame in
Admitting you're lonely
'Cause I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces
I know how this turns out, don't end well
But I'm keeping you around, I'm keeping you around
You don't even know me, it's only a feeling
You gotta believe me
Darling, I'm just saying there ain't no shame in
Admitting you're lonely
'Cause I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces
I'm in pieces
"Pieces" by Declan J Donovan is a song that expresses the feeling of being broken and lost in a relationship. The song starts by acknowledging that the current situation is not good and that the singer is brought down to their knees because of it, but they still hold on to hope and want to go back to the start. They are searching for a lifeline and running out of tries to fix things. The chorus "You don't even know me, it's only a feeling, you gotta believe me, darling, I'm just saying there ain't no shame in admitting you're lonely" reflects the singer's need to be understood and their insecurity regarding their emotions. They want to express how they feel, but they fear being judged and rejected, yet they are persistent in their plea for understanding. In the second verse, the singer admits that they are losing their words and forgetting their lines, they know what the right thing to do is, but they are unable to make it happen. They fear not having a second chance and falling back into old habits, not making it to their way home but running down the wrong road.
The song's message is that it's okay to feel vulnerable and admit to being lonely, and it takes courage to do so. Donovan explores how challenging it can be to express vulnerability and fear of rejection. The song has a slow tempo with a simple melody that complements the lyrics, making it sound heartfelt and emotional. It's evident that the song's interpretation comes from personal experiences and observations of relationships.
