Missing Pieces
Voxtrot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To come and take the sleep out of my night
And I would go to pieces if you said that this was just an act
To come and take the shine out of my life
Oh and I go through it all
Oh it's a thing like habit, I know
Give it up to wonder what it's worth
And I would feel much bigger for the little joy that you get from stealing
I never really wonder what it's worth
Oh and I am dead and gone
Oh you will feel much older, I know
I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought I fill any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh
And I would be complete if you could put me down in facts and figures
The hardest things are always black and white
And I would be complete if you could touch me once but it never figures
The easy things are never really right
Oh and I go day by day, oh it's a thing to live for, I know
And I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought I fill any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh
Why don't you take a walk outside and see the mess I made
And see the mess I made
And I will be waiting with a knife just like an angry child
Just like an angry child
And why don't you go spread the word just like some disease
Just like some disease
I know your mother told you that you are God
But you are just a Boy
I would be much better if I thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
I would do much better if I thought there was any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, oh
And I would feel much better if I thought there was any other reason
To keep away the beauty from the dirt
And I would do much better if I thought there was any other need
And I miss you, oh
And I miss you, and I miss you
The song "Missing Pieces" by Voxtrot is a slow melancholic ballad with lyrics that convey the pain and longing of missing someone. The singer in the song is desperately yearning for the return of someone they love, expressing that they would fall apart if they discovered that their love was just an act to take away the shine and beauty from their life. The singer acknowledges that their obsession and longing for this person has become a part of their character, like a habit that they cannot break. They feel like they are dead and gone, as though they have lost a part of themselves in the absence of their loved one.
The chorus of the song shows the singer's willingness to sacrifice anything to feel even a tiny bit of joy, to the point where they would be willing to steal it. They believe that if they only had a reason to keep away the beauty from the dirt, or if they could fill another need, they would feel complete again. The bridge of the song takes a darker turn, with the singer acknowledging their own anger and desire for revenge, but also their sense of powerlessness. They recognize that the person they are missing may see themselves as superior, but in reality, they are just human, and the singer misses them regardless.

Why don't you take a walk outside and see the mess I made
And see the mess I made
And I will be waiting with a knife just like an angry child
Just like an angry child
And why don't you go spread the word just like some disease
Just like some disease
I know your mother told you that you are God
But you are just a Boy
I'm so overwhelmed with my emotions that I've created chaos and violence, but you're not exempt from blame if you spread gossip like a contagious plague, and despite what your mother said, you're not a higher being, just a flawed human.
