To Pieces
The Fieros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, how could I forget?
She says I drink too much
As she burns another cigarette
I don't know
If I'll ever learn to live with it
I can't say
Come on
Baby, come on
You know you turned me on
Why don't you take me home?
Yeah
She says I think too much
Well, I don't get no rest
She says a bit too much
Well, get along with this
She never liked my dog
Well, I don't mind a bit
She never liked my friends
Well, something doesn't fit
Everywhere you go
The sun will follow
Every song you sing
Makes me fall to pieces
Well, come on
Baby, come on
You know you turned me on
Why don't you take me home?
Everywhere you go
The sun will follow
Every song you sing
makes me fall to pieces
Everywhere you go
The sun will follow
Every song you sing
makes me fall to pieces
To pieces
To pieces
To pieces
Yeah!
The Fieros' "To Pieces" is a song about conflicting emotions and the struggles of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics reveal the male speaker's inner thoughts as he grapples with his girlfriend's criticisms, both of him and his behavior, which causes him inner turmoil. The lyrics express his anxiety and ongoing self-doubt, as his partner's comments about his thinking and drinking habits have made a significant impact on him. He recognizes that his behavior patterns may be problematic and are causing friction, but he's not sure how to change.
Despite his struggles, he still finds her attractive and wants to be with her. He pleads with her to take him home, hoping a change of scenery will help them work out their differences. The refrain "Everywhere you go, the sun will follow, every song you sing, makes me fall to pieces" is the singer's way of expressing his attraction to her and the hold she has over him. Their different personalities clash, and their relationship is messy, but he cannot help being drawn back to her.
The song offers a poignant, unguarded look at love's complexities and the difficulties that come with it, as told through a catchy, upbeat melody that offers a hopeful tone despite the struggles described.
