The Missing Piece
Trisomie 21 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many people think that they have a lot of time
Many people think that they have a lot to say
Because they lost a lot
They spend a great deal of time to talk
Many people have nowhere to go
Too much work
Too many things to do
They think
Many are called few are chosen
I have enough time
I have enough friends
I have little to say
I have somewhere to go
Many people have nowhere to go
Too much work
Too many things to do
They think
Many are called few are chosen

I have enough friends
Many people have nowhere to go"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trisomie 21's song The Missing Piece are thought-provoking and insightful. The first verse talks about how people often believe that they have a lot of time and a lot to say because they have lost a lot. This loss could be in the form of failed relationships or missed opportunities. Consequently, people spend a significant amount of time talking, trying to fill the void left by their loss. In the second verse, the song talks about people who are overwhelmed with work and have too many things to do. They are so caught up in their daily routine that they fail to reflect on their lives. They think they have nowhere to go, but in reality, they are missing out on life.


The chorus "Many are called, few are chosen" suggests that not everyone is meant to find the missing piece of their puzzle. It is a metaphor for the fact that only a few people discover their true purpose and meaning. The last verse talks about how the singer has enough friends, somewhere to go, and little to say. This could mean that the singer is content with their life and finds peace in their daily routine. In contrast, many people have nowhere to go, too much work, and too many things to do.


Overall, the song highlights the importance of reflection and finding balance in life. The lyrics suggest that people should take time to reflect on their lives and not get caught up in mundane activities. The chorus reminds us that not everyone finds their true purpose in life, and that is okay.
