Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington explained the meaning behind this song: "I got divorced recently and that was very difficult. I also got remarried so there was a big contrast in my life. For a while I couldn't be completely happy with the new life I was starting and I couldn't end the last one. This is a song about all of that."
This song delves into the raw emotions of betrayal and loss, inspired by Chester Bennington's 2005 divorce from Samantha Olit. It captures the intense feelings of anger and frustration that arose from his shattered relationship, and his struggles to trust in his new marriage to Talinda Bentley.
Brad Delson plays the guitar solo on "In Pieces." While Delson generally prefers a more understated guitar style that blends with the band's electronic and hip-hop elements, encouraged by his bandmates, he began performing more solos, starting with the Minutes to Midnight album. This shift in his playing style is evident on "In Pieces," "What I've Done" and "The Little Things Give You Away," where he takes on a more prominent solo role.
