| Lyrics Metaphor | ✱ A missing puzzle piece ✱ A lonely cloud |
| Explanation | ✱ Life without the other is seen as an incomplete picture that only fits when the right person is added. ✱ Being without the partner is compared to a solitary cloud, drifting without a purpose or a 'sky' to belong to. |
