Pieces of the Sun
Ill Niño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I started to, and I started
And I started to think
And I started to think, I'm starting to think
I'm constantly loosing, who you want me to be
You started to die, and I start to rely
Confide, because I do what ever I can
Pero mata, ya no sirve
It's driving me insane
It's fucked up, that's what this is
And it's never gonna change
I'm picking up the pieces
Every time you leave me here
I'm a mess
That I must confess to you
Y la gente me lo dice cuando ya
Cállenlas
Nunca jamás
And I shudder to think, I shoot out to think
The only confusion's who you want me to be
I started to lie, you start to deny
Defy, because I do whatever I can
It's killing me to face this
It's driving me insane
It's fucked up, that's what this is
And it's never gonna change
I'm picking up the pieces
Every time you leave me here
I'm a mess
That I must confess to you
Y la gente me lo dice cuando ya
Cállenlas
Pedirás la paz
You want to leave
We'll fly away
To give and take (caminas, caminas sin destinos)
Caminas, tus ojos sin caminos
We'll die awake (for sixty days the air will disappear)
And for fifty days you will know me
The map will have to be re-drawn
And the sky will dress all in black
Holding your hand till the last dance
Right into this ballroom of circumstance (we'll die awake)
I'm picking up the pieces
Every time you leave me here
I'm a mess
That I must confess to you
Y la gente me lo dice cuando ya
Cállenlas
Pedirás la paz
You want to leave (pedirás la paz)
We'll fly away (pedirás la paz)
To give and take (pedirás la paz)
We'll die awake
Pedirás la paz
The song "Pieces of the Sun" by Ill Niño is a powerful expression of emotional turmoil experienced in a difficult relationship. The lyrics express the singer's increasing confusion and uncertainty as they struggle to be who their partner wants them to be, and as their partner begins to die (whether metaphorically or literally is unclear) they find themselves reliant on them. The repeated line "I'm picking up the pieces, every time you leave me here, I'm a mess that I must confess to you" highlights the singer's vulnerability and desperation in their attempts to hold the relationship together. The Spanish interjections add an extra layer of intensity, the crowd at the end urging the singer to "ask for peace".
The lines "we'll fly away, to give and take" and "we'll die awake" suggest a desire to break away from the destructive cycle of the relationship and start anew with the partner. The mention of the map being redrawn and the sky dressing in black imply that a significant, world-changing event is necessary for this to happen. The final lines, "holding your hand till the last dance, right into this ballroom of circumstance" suggest the singer is committed to sticking with the partner through their trials, even if it means facing the worst together.
Overall, "Pieces of the Sun" is a passionate, introspective track that explores the complexities of love and relationships. It speaks to the desire to hold onto something that is falling apart and the fear of letting go.

And I started to think
I began to ponder deeply.
I'm constantly loosing, who you want me to be
I am continuously losing myself because I am trying to be who you desire.
It's driving me insane
It's causing me to go crazy.
And it's never gonna change
It will never ever change.
I'm picking up the pieces
I am trying to gather the broken parts.
That I must confess to you
I admit to you.
We'll die awake
We will perish while still conscious, aware.
Pedirás la paz
You will ask for peace.

Caminas, con tus ojos sin caminos
For 60 days the air will disappear
For 50 days you will know me
The map will have to be re-drawn
And the sky will dress all in black
Holding your hand till the last dance
Right into this ballroom of circumstance (We'll die awake)
I'm
Picking up the pieces
Every time you leave me here

And I must confess to you
La gente me lo dice cuando ya - right here
Cabes no mas
