Pieces
Unveiling the Depths: Stone Sour's 'Pieces' Reveals a Journey of Redemption
Lyrics
Can you tell me how far I've come?
Reflecting on personal progress and seeking awareness of one's journey.
(And can you tell me where I've been?)
Questioning the understanding of past experiences and their significance.
Never stopped, knew I should've run but now I
Regretting not making a decisive move earlier and feeling lost in the present.
(Don't remember where I am)
Expressing a state of confusion and memory lapse about current circumstances.
All my life I've been holding back
Acknowledging a pattern of self-restraint throughout life.
Consider this my last request
Considering the current situation as a final plea or request.
(I never paid for all my sins)
Recognizing unpaid consequences for past actions or mistakes.
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Symbolically urging for enlightenment or clarity, even if it is harsh.
Open up your arms and save my life
Seeking comfort, support, or salvation from someone else.
I know I'll never go home again
Expressing a realization that returning to a previous state is impossible.
I need a little more, I will take what I can get
Desiring more from the current situation and being willing to take whatever is available.
I promise you everything, everything
Making a sincere promise to offer everything one has.
Just don't forget me in the end
Pleading not to be forgotten despite the challenges or outcomes.
Right in front of my face
Highlighting a realization occurring directly in one's presence.
(And in between the little voice)
Acknowledging an internal conflict or struggle represented by a "little voice."
This was something I couldn't have
Expressing an unattainable desire or goal.
(That just made me want it more)
Recognizing that the inaccessibility of something increases its desirability.
Now I know the reason I was built like this,
Understanding the purpose or reason behind one's current state of being.
Now I know why I am here
Acknowledging a sense of purpose and existence for someone else.
(I'm here for you)
(Empty line - Possibly emphasizing the purpose for someone else.)
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Repeating the request for clarity but emphasizing the harshness of truth.
Open up your arms and save my life
Reiterating the plea for support and salvation.
I know I'll never go home again
Reaffirming the impossibility of returning to a familiar place or state.
I need a little more, I will take what I can get
Expressing a willingness to accept whatever is available to improve the current situation.
I promise you everything, everything
Renewing the promise to give everything one has.
Just don't forget me in the end
Repeating the plea not to be forgotten despite the challenges.
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Reiterating the symbolic request for harsh enlightenment or truth.
Open up your arms and save my life
Repeating the plea for comfort, support, or salvation.
I know I'll never go home again
Affirming the recognition of the impossibility of returning to a previous state.
I need a little more, I will take what I can get
Reiterating the willingness to accept whatever is available to improve the current situation.
I promise you everything, everything
Renewing the promise to give everything one has.
Just don't forget me in the end
Repeating the plea not to be forgotten despite the challenges.
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
Reiterating the request for clarity with emphasis on the harshness of truth.
Open up the sun and burn my eyes
-Open up your arms and save my life
Repeating the plea for comfort, support, or salvation.
