"Pieces" is the second single from Sum 41's 2004 album, Chuck. The song is about a person that acts like someone else for acceptance and later realizes that he is not happy in the way he is living. The song is also associated with a relationship that is coming to an end.[citation needed]
[edit] Music video
The video shows Deryck singing while he walks on an empty street. While he walks, trucks with one clear side pass behind him, showing the rest of the band members within and labeling them as having "the perfect vacation," "the perfect night," "the perfect family," and "the perfect body." In the end there is a truck with Deryck sitting alone in a sparsely-furnished room, labeled "the perfect life." As the final chord strikes, the "F" falls off, which leaves him with "the perfect lie."
In an interview with Fuse, Deryck noted that the F falling off of the truck was not planned. However, since it fit in with the video's theme, they used it.
[edit] Similarities to The Scientist
This song features a similar chord progression, and is in the same key as the Coldplay song The Scientist. While both songs differ in terms of lyrics and vocal melody, listeners have reported the following similarities:
- Both songs contain a similar verse, chorus and lyrical structure.
- The breaks and bridges in both songs occur at the same moments in relation to other parts of the song (although Coldplay's song has 2 more lines in the main verses than Sum 41's).
- Both songs share the same musical key with identical chord progressions utilized during the verses and chorus.
These similarities have been exemplified by a mash-up of the songs.
