Pieces

Claire Voyant

You lie in consequence
You stay as part of sympathy
Can it be you'd break?
If the thoughts and words collide
You might cry to fate
This tension's part of me
This chemistry

All I have ever known is in pieces of light in the shadows

You take, you take this honesty this symmetry
You wait, you wait for suffering
Can it be that you stay
Until thoughts and worlds collide?
You might hide but you take
You can take this whole of me
Can it be?

All I have ever known is there are pieces of light in the shadows

Tonight the wounded heart's deafening
You wait for all of these things... I believe
You live fear won't change a word for destiny
But you rain, you reign over my heart and everything

All that I have ever known
Are the pieces of blue in the shadows
It's like I think I was immune to the pieces of me
In the sun and in the shadow

Tonight the wounded heart's deafening
You live here
Won't change a word...
So just believe

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
