Pieces of You in Me
Poison the Well Lyrics

The lyrics of Poison the Well's song "Pieces of You in Me" seem to be about a dysfunctional relationship that is coming to an end. The singer of the song is lamenting the fact that their partner never seems to understand them and always acts the same, as if they are stuck in a rut or unwilling to change. Despite this, the singer still finds their partner's lips attractive and exciting, even though they seem to be obsessed with the taste of blood (as suggested by the reference to "red copper").

The singer wants to hear their partner's laugh, even when they are dying (presumably metaphorically), but they find that their partner performs better when they are not around. This causes the world to "crack" and spin away, although the singer seems to be able to deal with this by ascending into a state of flight. However, ultimately, the singer cannot believe that the relationship is over again and is left with only "pieces of you" that will always be a part of them.

Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the complexities of human relationships, and how even when they don't work out, we are still left with pieces of the other person that will always be a part of us.
