pieces
Seventh Day Slumber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this place again
The same old broken record spinning
It's playing endlessly
There I go
Once again
Chasing after all the empty things
And shattered dreams
And it always leads me here
What more can I say
But "Lord, I'm broken
I'm nothing more than broken"
And I can't wait another night
Lord, I'm lying here in pieces
Would You put me back together
And make me whole?
And everybody thinks I'm fine
But You see me here in pieces
Would You put me back together?
I can't hold myself together anymore
I'm so weak, I can hardly stand
Feels like I am barely breathing
Still I'm holding on to You
And how could I drift away again?
I can't believe how fast I've fallen
I say this every single time
And it always leads me here
What more can I say, but "Lord I'm broken
I'm nothing more than broken"
I can't wait another night
While I'm lying here in pieces
Would You put me back together?
Make me whole
Everybody thinks I'm fine
But You see me here in pieces
Would You put me back together?
I can't hold myself together anymore
I feel like everything's falling apart
Rescue me
I've drifted off so far
It's not where I want to be
And all these years
You've never let me go
Gather up the pieces
Make me whole
I can't wait another night
While I'm lying here in pieces
Would You put me back together?
Make me whole
Everybody thinks I'm fine
But You see me here in pieces
Would You put me back together?
I can't hold myself together anymore
Would you put me back together?
I can't hold myself together anymore
Seventh Day Slumber's song Pieces is about feeling broken and lost, searching for comfort and fulfillment in all the wrong places, and ultimately turning to God for healing and restoration. The lyrics depict a sense of weariness and hopelessness, as the singer finds themselves stuck in a cycle of chasing after empty things and shattered dreams. The repeated line "Lord, I'm broken / I'm nothing more than broken" emphasizes the singer's feelings of helplessness and the need for divine intervention.
The chorus provides a cry for help, as the singer pleads with God to put them back together and make them whole. The contrast between the singer's inner turmoil and the perception that others think they are fine adds depth to the song, as it showcases the disconnect between one's public persona and the internal struggles they may be facing. The bridge further emphasizes the importance of God's presence and steadfastness in the singer's life, even in moments of doubt and distance.
Overall, Pieces is a powerful reflection on the human experience of brokenness, and the hope and healing that can be found through faith.
