Can anyone tell me what the song Pieces by Seventh Wonder is about?



-wonders…
They happen every day
For sure, the fact is overwhelming me
In every land
There are witnesses to tell a story

Fate decides what the future hides…
I’ve read my own prewritten lines!

-and so time goes by and that is why
I know tomorrow will never come!

You are watching the world
While she’s falling to pieces
But still you smile…
And every time your babies cry, you hold them tight
So tell me, who is the fool when the curtains fall?
And the future is gone…

-miracles.
It helps you to see the world with different eyes
Suddenly you come to realize that time flies
And you have been a fool!

So take your final breath…
Feeling lonely, with only yourself to blame

But fill your head with happy lies
Say a prayer under the tainted skies!

You are watching the world
While she’s falling to pieces
But still you smile…
And every time your babies cry, you hold them tight
So tell me, who is the fool when the curtains fall?
And the future is gone…
You are watching the world
While she’s falling to pieces
But still you smile…
And every time your babies cry, you hold them tight
Tell me how do you sleep at night?
Tell me how do you sleep at night?
Tell me how do you sleep at night…?

Just from reading the lyrics, it looks like it could be a "give a hoot, don't pollute!" thang, particularly the second part.

All hail the Copenhagen Wealth Redistributi-- err, Climate Change conference! :)
 
I agree with both Paul and Magius. I think it's the bands "artsy" way of saying, don't treat the earth like a sewer. All that aside, I love the tune. It's actually one of my favorites on the album. :kickass:
