Stuck together pieces is about herd mentality. It's about all the different social identities we take on in various situations that dissociate us from our authentic selves, passions, desires, etc, and how strong the pressure is that keeps us bound to these constructed identities, making it extremely difficult to break free of them.
It's about the personal compromises we make to fit in, to feel like we belong. And also the things we obsess over to maintain that sense of belonging, whether it be our attractiveness, or our status, or wealth. And we gain these things, you can literally "have anything that you want, except the thing you really want", which is self-actualizion, authentic self expression, choosing to walk your own personal path regardless of what others think.
And this could be referencing any situation which you've stuck yourself to. A band, a relationship, religious/political ideology, etc.
And deep down, we know we're doing this. We know we're pretending, but we don't seem to care since we keep doing it.
