pieces
Thomas Rob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn a page on a world that you don't need
Wide awake and you're scared that you won't come down now
Didn't I tell you you were gonna break down
Didn't I warn you, didn't I warn you
Better take it easy, try to find a way out
Better start believing in yourself
We build it up, we tear it down
We leave our pieces on the ground
We see no end, we don't know how
We are lost and we're falling
Hold onto me
You're all I have, all I have
Hold onto me
You're all I have, all I have
Now and then there's a light in the darkness
Feel around till you find where your heart went
There's a weight in the air but you can't see why, why
Didn't I tell you you were gonna break down
Didn't I want you, everybody wants you
Tell me what you're needing, give into your bleeding
Never any feeling for yourself
We build it up, we tear it down
We leave our pieces on the ground
We see no end, we don't know how
We are lost and we're falling
Hold onto me
You're all I have, all I have
Hold onto me
You're all I have, all I have
Didn't I tell you you were gonna break down
Didn't I warn you, didn't I warn you
Better take it easy, try to find a way out
Better start believing in yourself
We build it up, we tear it down
We leave our pieces on the ground
We see no end, we don't know how
We are lost and we're falling
Hold onto me
You're all I have, all I have
Hold onto me
You're all I have, all I have
Can you hold onto me
Can you hold onto me
Run away, run away if you can't speak
The song "Pieces" by Thomas Rob is about feeling lost and alone in the world. It speaks to the idea of building ourselves up, but eventually tearing ourselves down and leaving our pieces on the ground. The lyrics suggest that we need to hold onto each other and believe in ourselves in order to find a way out of this cycle.
The song starts off with the suggestion to run away if you can't speak, which could be interpreted as a way to protect oneself from being hurt. The line "turn a page on a world that you don't need" indicates the need to move on from people or situations that are no longer serving us. The reference to being "wide awake and scared" suggests that the singer of the song is aware of their problems but doesn't know how to solve them.
The chorus speaks to the idea of being lost and falling apart, but also the importance of holding onto someone else who can provide support. The repetition of "you're all I have" emphasizes the idea that we need to lean on each other to get through difficult times. The song ends with the plea to "hold onto me," a final expression of the need for connection and support.
Overall, Thomas Rob's "Pieces" is a powerful reminder of the importance of human connection and self-belief in order to navigate life's challenges.
