pieces
Trixie Whitley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the sensual touch is
all that remains
you
blew the fragile grace
on my skin and in my face
*chorus
behind, anywhere I go
Every time I go
I'm leaving behind my soul
Leaving
pieces of mine, everywhere I go
Braking in to pieces every time I
grow
Constant dozing
The rose of the mind flow
Emptiness is always on the
go
Gliding in the mirrors
Gathering the symptoms
of all we have
And all we
don't know
*chorus
The lyrics of Trixie Whitley's song "Pieces" paint a picture of a world where sensuality has become a rare and precious commodity in what feels like a graveyard of modernity. The singer laments the loss of "fragile grace" which was once felt on her skin and face through sensual touch. The chorus talks about the feeling of leaving pieces of herself behind as she goes through life, leaving behind her soul and breaking into pieces every time she grows. The verse "constant dozing, the rose of the mind flow, emptiness is always on the go" implies a state of lethargy or apathy, where the mind is in constant unrest and the emptiness of modernity fills all spaces. The last verse "gliding in the mirrors, gathering the symptoms of all we have and all we don't know" is a poignant image of being lost in the reflection of oneself and the world, trying to piece together something from the fragments of knowledge and ignorance that one encounters.
The lyrics of "Pieces" are a reflection on the human experience of fragmentation, of feeling that one's self is always somehow incomplete, of being lost in a world of fragments without any clear sense of direction. The song captures the sense of despair that can accompany this experience while also drawing attention to the moments of beauty that can still be found in the sensual touch of another person. The chorus is particularly powerful, encapsulating the feeling of leaving pieces of oneself behind as one grows and changes.

In the graveyard of modern days
The world today feels like a graveyard
the sensual touch is all that remains
We have lost so much human connection and the only thing that feels real is physical touch
you blew the fragile grace on my skin and in my face
You took my innocence and made me feel exposed and vulnerable
Leaving pieces behind, anywhere I go
Every time I move on from a place or person, I leave a part of myself behind
Every time I go I'm leaving behind my soul
I am losing a part of who I am each time I have to leave
Leaving pieces of mine, everywhere I go
I am shedding parts of myself wherever I travel
Breaking into pieces every time I grow
As I evolve and change, it feels like I am breaking apart
Constant dozing
I am always tired and never fully awake
The rose of the mind flow
My thoughts are like a blooming flower
Emptiness is always on the go
I always feel this void inside of me
Gliding in the mirrors
I am lost in my own reflection
Gathering the symptoms of all we have
Observing the effects of everything that has happened
And all we don't know
The things that we are uncertain about
