Piece By Piece
Terror Universal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything as it seems
You'll be my work of art
Ever since I laid my eyes on you
I knew that I would have you for myself
Look into my eyes - I want to see you fucking fading away
Look into my eyes - I want to smell you as you start to decay
Piece by piece by piece
My lovely, I'll free you
Piece by piece by piece
My angel stay with me
Take my hand as you drift of to sleep
Waken by your own screams
(Piece by piece by piece)
(I want to keep you forever)
Wallow down in your own screams
Everything as it seems
I'll never let you leave
I will keep you in my heart
We'll never be apart
Forever you'll be mine
Look at what I've done - From all your suffering I've set you free
Look at what I've done - My perfect specimen immortal with me
Piece by piece by piece
My lovely, I'll free you
Piece by piece by piece
My angel stay with me
Take my hand as you drift of to sleep
Waken by your own screams
(Piece by piece by piece)
I've been planning for eternity
- And now it's finally upon me.
Till death do us over again
Not even death will do us part!
You're my work of art
Piece by piece by piece
My lovely, I'll free you
Piece by piece by piece
My angel stay with me
Take my hand as you drift of to sleep
Waken by your own screams
(Piece by piece by piece)
The lyrics to Terror Universal's song Piece By Piece is a dark and disturbing track about a deranged and possessive individual who is infatuated with another person. The person they are fixated on is referred to as their "work of art" and the lyrics suggest that the singer has either stalked or kidnapped them. The line "I knew that I would have you for myself" implies that the singer has some level of entitlement over this person, which is deeply unsettling.
The chorus of the song ("Piece by piece by piece, my lovely, I'll free you") suggests that the singer is causing harm to the person they are fixated on, but believes that they are helping them in some twisted way. They refer to the person as their "angel" and want them to stay with them, even if it means keeping them in a state of perpetual suffering. The lines "Look into my eyes - I want to see you fucking fading away / Look into my eyes - I want to smell you as you start to decay" are particularly chilling and reinforce the idea that the singer is enjoying the pain they are inflicting on the person they have taken.
