Peace Of Mind
Above & Beyond vs. Andrew Bayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The diamonds in the mind
It turns out that this
Was the best thing
To ever happen to me
Errors and glitches
What a way to find
Greater peace of mind
Bring me peace of mind
Bring me peace of mind
I held on for my life
To the coattails of waves
I knew I would drown
If I didn't visualise the shore
Terror has taught me
If I seek I will find
It's all there inside you
Greater peace of mind
Bring me peace of mind
Bring me peace of mind
If you've ever lost every part of yourself
If you've left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you've ever lost every part of yourself
If you've left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you've ever lost every part of yourself
If you've left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you've ever lost every part of yourself
If you've left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
If you've ever lost every part of yourself
If you've left your heart on a lonely avenue
It will be only a matter of time
Before your life comes through for you
The lyrics for Above & Beyond vs. Andrew Bayer's song "Peace of Mind" speak to the idea that sometimes losing everything can lead to finding something greater. The first verse describes losing material possessions, specifically "diamonds in the mind," which could be interpreted as internal or mental wealth. However, the singer then declares that this loss was actually the best thing to ever happen to them, implying that it allowed them to gain something more valuable.
The second verse focuses on the idea of clinging to something in order to survive, specifically the "coattails of waves." This imagery is likely meant to represent holding onto something that is not stable, and the singer acknowledges that they knew they would drown if they didn't visualize a more solid point of reference, such as the shore. The idea of seeking something in order to find it is then introduced, and the singer declares that everything they need is already within themselves, leading to greater peace of mind.
Overall, the lyrics of "Peace of Mind" encourage the listener to have faith in the idea that life will come through for them, even in the face of loss and uncertainty. The song suggests that sometimes the greatest challenges can actually lead to new and valuable discoveries, and that finding inner peace is the key to navigating difficult times.
