Peace Of Mind
Affiance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would not steer you wrong.
Even if I do not heed
my own suggestion.
Before you take flight
and soar through the skies,
be sure you've learned how to land.
Who is pleading for our peace of mind?
Why do we complicate instead of simplify?
So loosen the noose around
your neck.
We held you so high,
but we were crushed beneath the weight of
expectations.
It's the human condition
to always lust for more.
Searching in the dark,
it's time to tame your wandering heart.
Who is pleading for our peace of mind?
Why do we complicate instead of simplify?
So loosen the noose around
your neck.
We held you so high.
If you're struggling with breathing,
can't find your way back home.
If you find your passions fleeting,
look to the truths you hold.
Who is pleading for our peace of mind?
Why do we complicate instead of simplify?
So loosen the noose around
your neck.
The lyrics of Affiance's song, "Peace of Mind," convey a message of seeking mental peace and self-reflection amidst the chaos and pressures of the world. The beginning of the song indicates the singer's honesty and concern for the listener that he may give advice, but may not always follow it himself. The lyrics gradually move towards the idea that before committing oneself to something, it is necessary to understand the risks and challenges involved. The line, "be sure you've learned how to land," underscores the importance of this understanding.
The chorus questions who advocates for our peace of mind and why humans tend to make things complex instead of simple. The song encourages the listener to remove any mental restraints that suppress their progress and growth. The song places a significant emphasis on human desire, stressing how we always yearn for more, and it is essential to tame that wandering heart, which is a necessary step towards inner peace. The song ends with a message of hope and guidance, indicating that finding one's way back home through firm beliefs and passions will lead to a peaceful mind.

I don't think I'll ever get over how incredible his voice is.

Can't stop listening to this... Dennis you have a mindblowing voice.

Whenever the vocalist does his lows at "Expectations" I got goosebumps. Got a very Randy Blythe type growl.... If he did more of that this band would seriously be a metal force to be reckoned with. Stills sounds great, vocals are solid just needs a better balance of clean vocals, high screams and low growls.

Dennis' vocals really shine on this track.

+YoungMetalSoldier True but the vocals are what take this band beyond the generic in my opinion.
Mr420QuIcKsCoPs
+Killbomb Yeah i agree, its been a while since someone with his vocal skill has got out there
Dennis Moore
One of my favorite songs! Unfortunately none of the other songs on the album get even close to the force and motivational atmosphere this song delivers :(

This band reminds me of Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and that is not a bad thing! Affiance is really, really good. Musically and conceptually.
