2 Pieces
MIA. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm searching for someone just like you, like you
You can't stop thinking about me and you,
I've needed this so much, so much
So why stop this feeling from going on

Its all so funny, but its no fun
Is this my happy end, or have we just begun
Do we know that we break into two pieces
Keep on saying: "My heart is still yours, still yours"
When we see that we're cracking in two pieces
While ours hearts spin around so free, so free

I give my best not to miss you, miss you
While you try not to kiss
I want to be with you, with you
So why stop this feeling from growing strong

Cause we know that we're broken into pieces
Keep on saying: "My heart is still yours, still yours"
But it's true that we're broken in two pieces
While ours hearts spin around so free, so free

I want to wake up, wake up
I want to wake up, wake up

Cause we know that we're broken into pieces
Keep on saying: "My heart is still yours, still yours"




But it's true that we're broken in two pieces
While ours hearts spin around so free, so free

Overall Meaning

In "2 Pieces", MIA. sings about searching for someone who cannot stop thinking about her, and how they both seem to be breaking into two pieces. She talks about needing this person so much and wanting to be with them, but also about how it's all so funny but not fun. The lyrics suggest a complex relationship dynamic where they both are struggling with their feelings for each other, but cannot seem to let go.


The repeated phrase, "my heart is still yours," indicates that despite the struggles and cracks in their relationship, there is still love present. However, the imagery of broken pieces suggests that their love might not be able to put them back together again. It seems as though their hearts are spinning free, but in opposite directions - unable to truly connect with one another.


Throughout the song, there is a feeling of uncertainty and confusion about whether or not they are at the end of their relationship or just beginning. MIA. expresses a desire to wake up and clear the fog of their relationship, to be with this person who she's searching for and who cannot stop thinking about her.


Overall, "2 Pieces" is a poignant and emotional exploration of the complexities of relationships, the challenges of holding on and letting go, and the truth that sometimes even love cannot keep two people together.
