A Million Little Pieces


There wasn't much I used to need
A smile would blow a summer breeze through
My heart

Now my mistakes are haunting me
Like winter came and put a freeze on
My heart

I've lost the power to understand
What it takes to be a man with
My heart

I saw you wanted this to end
You tried your best to be a friend to
My heart

But I'm leaving
This weary town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

Whenever I was feeling wrong
I used to go and write a song from
My heart

But now I fear I've lost my spark
No more glowing in the dark for
My heart

So I'm leaving
This weary town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

Understand
Understand
Understand
Understand
Understand

Can't you see I'm sick of fighting?
Understand
Cant you tell I've lost my way?
Understand
Look at me, there's no denying
Understand
I won't last another day

So I'm leaving
This weary town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

Then I'm leaving
This weary town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

All my dreaming
Torn in pieces
All my dreaming
Torn in pieces
All my dreaming
Torn in pieces
All my dreaming
Torn in pieces now




Un milione di piccoli pezzi


Non c’era molto di cui avessi bisogno
Un solo sorriso poteva soffiare una brezza estiva
...attraverso il mio cuore

Adesso i miei stessi errori mi stanno perseguitando
Come se fosse arrivato l’inverno e avesse raggelato
...il mio cuore

Ho perso la capacità di capire
Cosa serve per poter essere un uomo
...con il mio cuore

Ho visto che tu volevi porre fine
Hai fatto del tuo meglio per comportarti da amico
...con il mio cuore

Ma sto abbandonando
Questa città stancante
Non soffrirne
Amore mio, cerca di capire

Ogni volta che mi sentivo in errore
Andavo a scrivere una canzone
...dal mio cuore
Ma adesso temo di aver perso la mia scintilla
Niente più luccichio nel buio
...per il mio cuore

Perciò sto abbandonando
Questa città stancante
Non soffrirne
Amore mio, cerca di capire

Cerca di capire
Cerca di capire
Cerca di capire
Cerca di capire
Cerca di capire

Non vedi che sono stanco di lottare?
Cerca di capire
Non riesci ad ammettere che ho perduto la mia strada?
Cerca di capire
Guardami, non si può negare
Cerca di capire
Non resterò un giorno di più

Perciò sto abbandonando
Questa città stancante
Non soffrirne
Amore mio, cerca di capire

Alla fine sto abbandonando
Questa città stancante
Non soffrirne
Amore mio, cerca di capire

Tutti i miei sogni
Dilaniati in pezzi
Tutti i miei sogni
Dilaniati in pezzi
Tutti i miei sogni
Dilaniati in pezzi
Tutti i miei sogni
Dilaniati in pezzi





Placebo Quotes about A MILLION LITTLE PIECES

Which song from your new album was to take the hardest for you?

Steve Forrest : " Million Little Peaces " was difficult for me . This was mainly due to all the electronic elements , which we have used in this song . Loops and all these technical tricks were a real challenge for me. I would almost say it was a painful experience ! But in hindsight it's a cool result , so it has been fully paid off .


Steve Forrest: N24

Also called " A Million Little Pieces " can theoretically turn out in all directions.
Molko : This song is about desperation and hopelessness . I have the title from the memoirs of the American author James Frey. He describes his experience with the following dependencies and rehabilitation. This song is all about , that you feel totally lost and astray . They want to finish the course , but it is not easy. I recommend everyone to read the book and play our music behind it ( laughs).


Brian Molko, Krone.at

J: the track ‘a million little pieces’ which, according to me is a cornerstone in the album, reminds me of ‘we come in pieces’ which is the name of a DVD. Is there some kind of link between them? Is there some sort of logic in it?
B: hem…no…( laughs)…no, I’d never given it a thought actually. That’s exactly the same with ‘rob the bank’. When the recording session was finished, someone told me “oh that reminds of ‘follow the cops back home and rob their houses’! I thought ‘oh shit, I didn’t expect that!’
So here it is, now its ‘a million little pieces’, ‘we come in pieces’. I didn’t reflect on that! But I have stolen that title from James Frey’s book, an American writer who wrote some sort of fictionalised memoirs that focus on his life and all his problems related to addiction.
The track itself is quite generic but nonetheless I wanted to make that connexion with this book so that people might feel like reading it after listening tot the track, so that it might open up the mind and give a lot of context to the song.
