Fall To Pieces
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Demeaning whirlwind of ride with you. Oh yea I do.
Longer then faster I try to decide what you′re after.
A disaster. Is that what you put me through?
Oh yea you do.
I'm not free love.
So when you leave take the time you need.
So don't come to me and beg to plead...
You're about to say...
Searching for truth in this twisted environment.
I can′t believe that I once was inspired by you.
But I′ll be ok.
Poetry means nothing when you love me and leave.
You can disappear one day then wear your heart on your sleeve.
Do you know what I'm worth?
What do you see?
I′m not free love.
So when you leave take the time you need.
Cause I'll be gone.
So don′t come to me and beg to plead...
You're about to say...
Hmm... I don′t wanna know. I don't wanna know.
I don't wanna fall to pieces. I don′t wanna fall at all so...
You′re about to say...
Hmm... I don't wanna know. I don′t wanna know.
I don't wanna fall to pieces. I don′t wanna fall at all so...
Go... Away... Just go... I don't wanna fall anymore.
The lyrics to Tiësto's "Fall To Pieces" depict a relationship that has gone awry. The singer is clearly aware of the dysfunction in the relationship, feeling trapped and uncertain about their partner's intentions. The lyrics suggest that the singer is desperate for answers, while simultaneously fearing what those answers may reveal. The repeated refrain of "I don't wanna fall to pieces" emphasizes the singer's anxiety and reluctance to confront the harsh truth of the situation.
The second verse highlights the contrast between the beginning of the relationship, where the singer was inspired by their partner, and the current state of affairs, where everything feels twisted and distorted. The reference to poetry suggests that the singer was once enamored with the idea of love and romance, but has now come to realize that those sentiments are hollow without true connection and commitment. The repeated refrain of "You're about to say... I don't wanna know" emphasizes the singer's fear of hearing the truth from their partner.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has gone off the rails, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The repeated refrain underscores their sense of desperation and fear, while the verses provide more detail about the specific issues that have led to this point.
