Pieces
Meredith Andrews Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm here again
A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard
Thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole

I've come undone
But you make sense of who I am
Like puzzle pieces in your eye

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole!

I tried so hard! So hard!
I tried so hard!

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces




So you can make me whole
So you can make me whole

Overall Meaning

The lyrics describe the feeling of being broken and lost, and the realization that the solution lies in surrendering to a higher power. The singer is physically far away from the source of healing (presumably God), and feels like a fragmented version of herself. She has tried to fix herself independently, but has only lost more in the process. However, when she sees the face of the divine, she feels a sense of belonging and completion. In this state, she is able to retrieve the pieces of herself that were lost and become whole again. The repetition of the last line drives home the idea that only through submission to an external force can she be fully redeemed.


The lyrics of "Pieces" can be interpreted as Christian in nature, especially given the frequent references to being "made whole" by a higher power. Andrews herself is a Christian singer-songwriter, with many of her songs citing her faith. However, the lyrics could also be broadly applicable to anyone who has felt lost or fragmented, and who has searched for a way to put themselves back together.

I have enjoyed listening to this song a couple of times.  Looking forward to listening to more from Meredith Andrews.  It is interesting how sometimes I find a song that may not be the most recent, but when I find it, its new to me and God uses it because it is His for all times.

Amen,
The major reason to death, suicide and destruction is that people are missing something, or the unawareness of a cause. A mere ray of light, a whisper in their ears that says YOU BELONG TO SOMEONE GREATER can change all that.
Lets make the World know Him. Blessed Song, with a needful Message. Bless you.
