pieces
McCuaig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's kinda like a vagabond who's been kicked between the knees
I know it doesn't make any sense, but that's just what I mean
I little of this and some of that and maybe some TLC
[Chorus]
And now you're crumbling into pieces
I know, I know
I know, I know
Stand up in the middle of a movie, got to get me some fresh air
It was there that reminded you of something that you once shared
The mind is altering reality, which way is up, and which way is down
Reachin' out for something to grab, but keepin' it really round
[Chorus]
Have you ever walked in the rain with your tongue hanging out
Have you ever watched an old man and asked him what he's all about
I know it doesn't make any sense but that's just what I mean
A little of this and some of that and maybe some TLC
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics of McCuaig's song "Pieces" talk about the struggles of life and how it can break us down into pieces, but we can heal ourselves by seeking the crazy things that make us happy. The song starts with the line "Crazy things like funny bones are what you really need," which means that, often, the little things in life can help us get through tough times. The next line, "It's kinda like a vagabond who's been kicked between the knees," is a metaphor for someone who has faced hard and challenging situations in life.
Additionally, the lyrics state that everything doesn't necessarily have to make sense. "I know it doesn't make any sense, but that's just what I mean," is a statement that implies that the things that can bring us joy or happiness might not always have a logical explanation. "A little of this and some of that and maybe some TLC" is a line that talks about the things that can make us feel better, including a combination of self-care, good friends, and positivity.
The chorus that repeats twice in the song is "And now you're crumbling into pieces, I know, I know," it is an acknowledgment that we can sometimes be broken and that life can feel like it's falling apart. However, it's important to recognize that we can get through these tough times.
