PICK UP THE PIECES
Rebuilding Broken Dreams: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Pick Up the Pieces'
Lyrics
Maybe we pick up the pieces
Maybe we will gather the fragments
Patch up the masterpieces
Repair the outstanding works
Maybe we manage to fix this
Possibly we will succeed in repairing this
I don’t know
I am uncertain
Scattering over the decor
Scattered around the decorative elements
Pieces of porcelaine on the floor
Broken pieces of porcelain on the ground
How did we get used to this mess?
How did we become accustomed to this disorder?
I don’t know
I am unsure
Dynamiting the gold mine
Destroying the valuable resource
Was never gonna make you shine
Was never going to enhance your brilliance
It was only gonna make you run and bleed and cry
It was only going to cause you to flee, suffer, and weep
P-I-C-K up the P-I-E-C-E-S
Verbally spell out the act of picking up the broken parts
Delicately, one by one, pick up the pieces
Handle with care, gradually retrieve the fragments
Look what you did to your mom’s dress
See the damage done to your mother's garment
Don’t look away, don’t digress
Stay focused, don't divert your attention
Did you think it could be mended?
Did you believe it could be repaired?
Don’t you know?
Don't you understand?
How did you become so careless?
How did you become so negligent?
She used to feed you in that dress
Your mother used to dress you in that outfit
No wonder your mom’s offended
No wonder your mother is upset
Yeah you know
Yes, you know
You got it made, you’re a big shot
You're in a favorable position, you're influential
But big shot lost the plot
But your influential status lost its direction
Now you’re gonna have to run and bleed and cry
Now you'll have to deal with fleeing, suffering, and weeping
P-I-C-K up the P-I-E-C-E-S
Verbally spell out the act of picking up the broken parts
Delicately, one by one, pick up the pieces
Handle with care, gradually retrieve the fragments
