Peace Of Mind
Grapes Of Wrath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pale beside the wall between us now
Since I refuse to play alone
It's always been another
To do the damage you live everyday
And leave you cursing for escape
Each day I see a ball and chain
Grow a little more in grain
Say'in nothing
Nothing's gonna change
Why is the world so damn unkind
To one so righteous in her mind
The sun won't rise and shine
Will you never find your peace of mind
My father couldn't bother
To play the kind of role the job required
Instead of trying he retired
What so much here to conquer
To feel a long while so-called friends don't phone
You know the pain is not their own
Each day I see a ball and chain
Grow a little more in grain
And watch your corner pain
Say'in nothing
Nothing's gonna change
Why is the world so damn unkind
To one so righteous in her mind
The sun won't rise and shine
Will you never find your peace of mind
Coming over mountains
To feel the tension hiding in these walls
You see a trace of spirit fall
My father couldn't bother
But now he's back to find his place again
Sorry but the book's been burned
Each day I see a ball and chain
Grow a little more in grain
And watch your corner pain
Say'in nothing
Nothing's gonna change
Why is the world so damn unkind
To one so righteous in her mind
The sun won't rise and shine
Will you never find your peace of mind
Your peace of mind
Your peace of mind
The song "Peace of Mind" by Grapes Of Wrath explores the themes of isolation, desperation, and the search for inner peace. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration and despair, with the singer feeling trapped in loneliness and pain. The opening lines "coming over mountains" suggest a journey, perhaps a physical one, but also a metaphorical one, as the singer seeks to escape the source of their emotions. However, they are faced with a wall that separates them from their desired peace of mind.
The next lines "Since I refuse to play alone, It's always been another, To do the damage you live every day", suggest that the singer is looking for someone to share their pain with but is unable to do so. They are haunted by the damage done by others, causing them to curse for escape, and they see the pain grow day by day in themselves. The stanza "Why is the world so damn unkind, To one so righteous in her mind, The sun won't rise and shine, Will you never find your peace of mind," encompasses the search for a solution to the singer's situation. They crave to understand why the world is unkind to them and why they cannot find peace.
The following stanzas mention the singer's father, who seems to have failed them in some way. The lyrics "My father couldn't bother, To play the kind of role the job required, Instead of trying, he retired" suggests the father may have been emotionally unavailable or absent in the singer's life. Lastly, the chorus repeats, "Why is the world so damn unkind, to one so righteous in her mind, the sun won't rise and shine, will you never find your peace of mind?" which hints that the singer is still looking for their peace of mind.
