Fallen to Pieces
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arise from a dream
Step aside into the shadows
Brightness just borrowed
For too short a time
Why must I die one more time if I try?
Way down I pray but the skies turn to gray
I run high and low
I'm fallen to pieces
My heart cried for you
I'm fallen to pieces
Say, do you see you're just playing with me?
Way down I flee from your spell and appeal
No more I'll be waiting, no longer I'll live
I run high and low
I'm fallen to pieces
My heart cried for you
I'm fallen to pieces
Hold on
Hold on
Lies turn to ties for ill famed and disguised
One day you´ll pay and your skies turn to gray
I run high and low
I'm fallen to pieces
My heart cried for you
I'm fallen to pieces
I died times ago
I'm fallen to pieces
Now I rise alone
I'm fallen to pieces
Fallen to pieces
The lyrics to Helloween's song "Fallen to Pieces" paint a picture of emotional turmoil and heartbreak. The first lines describe the physical and mental pain that the singer is feeling, symbolized by thunder and rain and an aching mind. He is trying to wake up from a dream, perhaps a metaphor for the relationship that has fallen apart. The next lines suggest that he is trying to step out of the shadows and see the brighter side of things, but this newfound optimism is short-lived. He wonders why he must keep experiencing the pain of heartbreak over and over again, and his prayers go unanswered as the skies turn gray. He is running high and low, trying to piece himself back together, but his heart is shattered.
The chorus reveals the depth of the singer's pain as he cries out for the person who has caused it. He asks if they can see that they are just playing with him and making things worse. He flees from their spell and appeal, knowing that he can no longer wait for them or live with the pain they have caused.
The bridge suggests that the person responsible for the singer's pain will eventually face their own consequences. Their lies will turn into ties and their ill-fame will be exposed, leaving them with gray skies. The song ends on a note of acceptance as the singer acknowledges that he has fallen to pieces.
