Picking Up The Pieces Lyrics
You pray for your world to be whole
You’re picking up the pieces of a shattered memory that
You lost long ago
And you’re waiting for some one to save you
But no one’s going to save you so you might as well save your self
Just like we do
Now you’re covered in sorrow
Washing it off again
Just like before
Wash it off! Wash it off! Wash it off!
You’d kill for a heart made of stone
Because every time you get back up there is some there to put you
Right where you fell
And you’ve locked your self up in your heart
You’re never going to let someone back inside to put you
Right at the start
Now you’re covered in sorrow
Washing it off again
Just like before
Now you’re covered in sorrow
Washing it off again
Just like before, just like before
Now you’re covered in sorrow
Wash it off! Wash it off!
Wash it off of me!
Wash it off of me
Wash it off!
You’re picking up the pieces of a shattered memory that
You lost long ago
And you’re waiting for some one to save you
But no one’s going to save you so you might as well save your self
Just like we do
Washing it off again
Just like before
Wash it off! Wash it off! Wash it off!
Because every time you get back up there is some there to put you
Right where you fell
And you’ve locked your self up in your heart
You’re never going to let someone back inside to put you
Right at the start
Washing it off again
Just like before
Now you’re covered in sorrow
Washing it off again
Just like before, just like before
Wash it off of me!
Wash it off of me
Wash it off!

The Drumming is great in this song double peddle galore, and the music gives me a hum/quicksand feel to.
As for the lyrics, they match beautifully with the melody. Things seem hopeless and it's really relatable. Who doesn't want to fit in with people or go time a that might be better for them socially, some people are very friendless nowadays and it's hard to connect or stay connected despite the advances of technology.
"But no one's going to save you so you just might as well save your self" fits perfect today or even as far back as you want.
Some people are loners because they either like it or through no fault of there own end up that way even if it wasn't there fault. It could also be someone going from relationship to relationship and being let down. They are probably putting too much of themselves into it and that's why, "You'd kill for a heart of stone" or "You've Locked yourself up in your heart.
Anyway sorry for long paragraph that's just my interpretation. This song really catches me in the feels so it's done it's job well! I hope who reads this is doing okay. (-:
