Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could she let you go
Left with a stranger lying in her room alone
I'm lost without you i need you by my side
Looking for answers
Watching the world collide
Mother may I have this wish
Take me to a better place
It's the life that I deserve
Drowning in anger drinking my pain away
Losing myself to this losing day by day
I see you there resting quietly
Her poem to the angels her moment to be free
Father may I have this wish
My last effort to make my peace
Take me from your hollow world
Your hell is not for me
Robbed of ambition i tried to live my life
No stars tonight just a broken destiny
DAD i no longer see a reason
To continue on this broken path
Being taken from day after day
Has left me with nothing left to give
I do not hate you
I feel sorry for what you have become
And what you have turned me into
I hope for you this place I go to forgiving
And we can be as we once were
This world has lost it's light i'm sorry
Mother may I have this wish
My last effort to make my peace
Take me to a better place
It's the life that I deserve
The lyrics to Borealis's song "My Peace" convey a deep sense of heartbreak, loss, and desperation. The singer is grappling with the pain of being left by someone they loved, potentially due to infidelity ("Left with a stranger lying in her room alone"). They express their longing for their partner, feeling lost and incomplete without them by their side. They are seeking answers, while witnessing the chaos and destruction in the world around them ("Watching the world collide").
The chorus brings up the concept of a wish, a last-ditch effort to find solace and resolution. The singer asks for their mother's permission to make this wish, hoping to be taken to a better place that they believe they deserve. They are drowning in anger and consuming their pain through destructive behaviors like drinking, feeling like they are losing themselves day by day. They have a poignant moment of recognizing someone else, possibly a loved one, resting quietly and finding freedom in death ("Her poem to the angels her moment to be free").
In the second verse, the singer turns to their father, again seeking permission to make this final wish. They express their dissatisfaction with their father's hollow world, declaring that his hell is not meant for them. They feel robbed of ambition and struggle to find purpose in life, unable to see any glimpse of hope in their broken destiny.
The song concludes with a passionate plea addressed directly to their father. The singer states that they no longer see a reason to continue on their path, as being taken from day after day has left them empty. They claim not to hate their father, but rather feel sorry for what he has become and how his actions have affected them. They express hope for forgiveness and a return to their previous relationship, wishing that their father can find peace in the place they are going to. The song ends on a sorrowful note, with the singer apologizing for the loss of light in the world.

Why did you leave me
I'm wondering why you abandoned me
How could she let you go
I can't understand how she allowed you to leave
Left with a stranger lying in her room alone
She left me alone with someone I don't know
I'm lost without you i need you by my side
I feel completely lost and I rely on your presence
Looking for answers
I'm searching for explanations
Watching the world collide
Observing the chaos and destruction happening around me
Mother may I have this wish
Mother, can I request this desire from you
My last effort to make my peace
This is my final attempt to find peace
Take me to a better place
Transport me to a more favorable environment
It's the life that I deserve
This is the life I believe I should have
Drowning in anger drinking my pain away
Feeling overwhelmed by anger and numbing my pain through drinking
Losing myself to this losing day by day
Slowly losing my identity as I continue to experience setbacks
I see you there resting quietly
I perceive your peaceful presence as you rest silently

Take me from your hollow world
Remove me from your empty and meaningless existence
Your hell is not for me

Robbed of ambition i tried to live my life
My aspirations were stolen, but I attempted to live anyway
No stars tonight just a broken destiny
Tonight, there is no hope or success, only a shattered future
DAD i no longer see a reason
Father, I can't find a purpose anymore
To continue on this broken path
To persist on this path that is filled with difficulties and obstacles
Being taken from day after day
Being deprived of happiness day by day
Has left me with nothing left to give
I have nothing more to offer
I do not hate you
I don't hold any hatred towards you
I feel sorry for what you have become
I pity the person you have transformed into
And what you have turned me into
As well as the person you have shaped me into
I hope for you this place I go to forgiving
I wish that the place I'm heading to will offer you forgiveness
And we can be as we once were
And we can return to the way we used to be
This world has lost its light i'm sorry
I regret that the world has become devoid of brightness
Mother may I have this wish
Mother, can I request this desire from you
My last effort to make my peace
This is my final attempt to find peace
Take me to a better place
Transport me to a more favorable environment
It's the life that I deserve
This is the life I believe I should have
