Serenity
Laura Brehm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunset, over the mountains
From lands come new beginnings, on the horizon
Houses, make up the patterns
And I can see my doorway in the distance

I'm coming home
This time I know where i belong
All that I had
I tried to leave
All that I carried, it had followed me
Now I know why
I couldn't see
With these new eyes I found serenity

Waking, into the moment
The journey neverending as the days go by
Seasons, constantly changing
And I surrender to my fragile existence

I'm letting go
I'm finding space within my soul

All that I had
I tried to leave
All that I carried, it had followed me
Now I know why
I couldn't see
With these new eyes I found serenity

(VOCAL MEDLEY)

All that I had
I tried to leave
All that I carried, it had followed me
Now I know why
I couldn't see
With these new eyes I found serenity





With these new eyes I found serenity

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Laura Brehm's "Serenity" describe a tranquil scene; the sun setting over the mountains, a harbinger of new beginnings on the horizon. As the lyrics progress, Brehm observes the patterns of the houses around her and sees her own doorway in the distance, a symbol of comfort and familiarity. At this moment, she realizes that she belongs here, finally feeling at home after having tried to leave and carry what she thought she needed. However, she now recognizes that all of these were just preventing her from seeing the beauty and serenity that surrounded her all along.


As the song continues, Brehm surrenders to her existence and embraces the ever-changing nature of the world around her. She acknowledges her fragility and vulnerability, but also finds space within her soul to let go of the things that no longer serve her. In the end, the lyrics emphasize the idea that with new eyes, Brehm has found serenity, allowing her to embrace the present moment and fully appreciate the life she has.


Overall, "Serenity" is a powerful reminder of the importance of taking a step back and appreciating the world around us. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own struggles and desires that we fail to see the beauty in front of us. However, by surrendering to our existence, letting go of what no longer serves us, and seeing the world with fresh eyes, we can find a sense of peace and serenity within ourselves.

Sunset over the mountains
From ends comes new beginnings
On the horizon
Houses make up the patterns
And I can see my doorway
In the distance

I'm coming home
This time I know where I belong

All that I had, I tried to leave
All that I carried, It had followed me
Now I know why I couldn't see
With these new eyes I found serenity
