pieces
Satellite Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Among the best and worst just alike
You can try turning the music up louder
It numbs the ears and the mind
And the heart disappears
And beneath it the fears still reside
Sure, I was lost but I didn't know why
Still looking for the pieces
Looking for the puzzle where Your life fits in mine
Here in the cool gray of the morning
When the darkness is just out of sight
And as the fools they take to hoarding little nuts of their might
It's a sign of the season only You've got no reason to fight
Sure, I was lost but I didn't know why
Just living on feelings and wandering by
Still looking for the pieces,
Looking for the puzzle where Your life fits in mine
Here in the making of a moment
While I'm looking at one little piece
Even though You have shown it
The picture is still hard to see
And though You were the artist
It seems that's when it's hardest for me
The lyrics of Satellite Soul's song "Pieces" are reflective and meditative, exploring themes of self-discovery, faith, and the search for meaning in life. In the opening lines, the song considers the difficulty of finding things to be proud of in a world that is a mix of good and bad, and suggests that turning up the music serves as a temporary escape, numbing the senses and making it easier to avoid confronting fears and insecurities that lurk beneath the surface.
The second verse continues this exploration of the self, with the singer admitting to feeling lost and adrift, searching for meaning and purpose in their life. The chorus repeats the idea of trying to find the pieces of a puzzle, the missing elements that will bring clarity and meaning to life. The final verse contemplates the struggle of finding clarity in the present moment, acknowledging that even with guidance and inspiration from a higher power, the picture is still difficult to see.
Overall, "Pieces" is a song about the human search for connection and direction, and the frustration and beauty that come with that journey.
