Serenity
Cole Steve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
I take another deep breath
And feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul
Reflecting inner light
Protect the ones who hold you
Cradling your inner child
I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life
Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you
I hold you with my inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control





I need serenity [Repeat x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Serenity" by Cole Steve is a powerful ballad about the human need for peace and serenity, particularly in times of trouble and turmoil. The lyrics describe a sense of inner turmoil and confusion, asking difficult questions about life and our place in the world. The opening verses set the scene, with the singer closing their eyes and taking a deep breath, seeking a moment of calmness and clarity. They describe themselves as "the one in your soul," reflecting on the inner light that we all possess, but sometimes struggle to find.


The chorus repeats the central theme of the song, with the singer pleading for serenity and a place to hide. They express a sense of frustration and despair at the unchanging nature of life, with "nothing changes, days go by." The second half of the song explores more existential questions, asking where we go when we don't know, how we can reignite our passions when they cool, and why we dream in a world where our thoughts seem to mean so little. The lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness and desperation, but also a desire to take control and find a sense of purpose.


Overall, "Serenity" is a powerful song that captures the very human desire for inner peace, despite the chaos and confusion that surrounds us.

Sweet round tone, very good intonation (although these days with auto tune, who knows?) . So smooooooooth... like velveeta, or cream of wheat, or marsmallow fluff... one man's Mede is another's Persian.
