Peace Sign
Coeur de Pirate/Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If they take my hand will it be to burn me or to say amen
We beckon so we can make amends
And with the same flip of the hand we curse our friends
Where it's all a blur, you are the hard line
In the disorder, you are the peace sign

It's getting hard to know
If I'm on the tracks or off the beaten road
When no truth ever easily shows
So I'll follow you no matter where you go

And when it's all a blur, you ore the hard line
In the disorder, you are the peace sign
And when the riots stir, you are the sound mind
And in the disorder, you are the peace sign

I can't tell if they're laughing at me or with me
All these hints and subtleties they got me on
My knees begging for serenity
And when it's all a blur, you are the hard line

In the disorder, you are the peace sign
And when the riots stir, you are the sound mind
And in the disorder, you are the peace sign




And when it's all a blur, you ore the peace sign
And in the disorder, you ore the peace sign

Line by Line Meaning

If they take my hand will it be to burn me or to say amen
I am unsure of the intentions of those around me, whether they are friend or foe


We beckon so we can make amends
We try to reconcile with those we may have wronged


And with the same flip of the hand we curse our friends
We may unintentionally harm those closest to us


Where it's all a blur, you are the hard line
In the midst of confusion, you provide clarity and direction


In the disorder, you are the peace sign
You are the symbol of peace and tranquility amidst chaos


It's getting hard to know
I am finding it difficult to discern the truth from lies


If I'm on the tracks or off the beaten road
I am uncertain whether I am on the right path or not


When no truth ever easily shows
The truth is not always easily apparent


So I'll follow you no matter where you go
I trust you and will follow your lead


I can't tell if they're laughing at me or with me
I do not know whether people are laughing at me or sharing my joy


All these hints and subtleties they got me on
I am confused by the indirect messages people convey


My knees begging for serenity
I am desperate to find peace and calmness in my life


And when the riots stir, you are the sound mind
When chaos erupts, you remain level-headed and rational


And when it's all a blur, you are the peace sign
When everything is chaotic and unclear, you represent peace and tranquility

If they take my hand
Will it be to burn me or to say 'amen'
We beckon so we can make amends
And with the same flip of the hand we curse our friends

And where it's all a blur, you are the hard line
In the disorder, you are the peace sign

J'ai tant voulu savoir (I really wanted to know)
Si mes peurs ont tout fait pour m'égarer (If my fears did it all to lead me astray)
Mais quand la vérité se cache (But when the truth hides itself)
Je te suivrai où que tu veuilles aller (I'll follow you wherever you want to go)

Where it's all a blur, you are the hard line
In the disorder, you are the peace sign

Et quand la guerre éclate, tu es le silence (And when the riots stir, you are the sound mind)
Et dans tout ce désordre, you are the peace sign (And in the disorder, you are the peace sign)

I can't tell if they're laughing at me or with me
All these hints and subtleties got me on my knees
Begging for serenity

And where it's all a blur, you are the hard line
In the disorder, you are the peace sign
And when riots stir, tu es le silence
And in the disorder, you are the peace sign
Et quand la guerre éclate, you are the sound mind
Et dans tout ce désordre, you are the peace sign
And in the disorder, you are the peace sign
In the disorder, you are the peace sign.
