Peace
Little Oceans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer sun it comes back, ain't no running running from me
I could never hide that cycle til' you're out of my reach
Summer waves they roll back, lying on another salt sea
Sink in that peace when she thinks of me
Cuz' I can take rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of you
Sink in that sea when she looks at me
Cuz' I can take loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of you
Summer waves they roll back, sipping from a peppermint tea
Sink in that peace when she thinks of me
Cuz' I can take rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of you
Sink in that sea when she looks at me
Cuz' I can take loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of you
Sink in that peace when she thinks of me
Cuz' I can take rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of you
Sink in that sea when she looks at me
Cuz' I can take loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of you
So fill your lungs, never gonna let you come undone
I fill my lungs, never gonna let me fall back
I guess we won, live it out love your love is one
I guess we won, live it out let me fall
So fill your lungs, never gonna let you come undone
I fill my lungs, never gonna let me fall back
I guess we won, live it out love your love is one
I guess we won, live it out let me fall
Sink in that peace when she thinks of me
Cuz' I can take rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of you
Sink in that sea when she looks at me
Cuz' I can take loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of you
Sink in that peace when she thinks of me
Cuz' I can take rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of you
Sink in that sea when she looks at me
Cuz' I can take loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of you
The lyrics to Little Oceans' song "Peace" seem to be about the singer reflecting on a past love and how even though it's over, they still have a hold on them. The "Funny how it comes back" and "Funny how it slips back" lines suggest that the memories and feelings of this love keep resurfacing unexpectedly. The line "Sipping from your chamomile tea" could be a reference to how the person they're thinking about used to drink that and it brings back memories. The summer imagery suggests that this was a seasonal love that perhaps started and ended during the summer months.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Sink in that peace when she thinks of me / Cuz' I can take rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of you / Sink in that sea when she looks at me / Cuz' I can take loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of you." It seems that the singer is acknowledging that even though this past love still affects them, they can handle it. They can take "rolls" and "loads" of the memories and emotions without letting it overwhelm them. The "sea" and "peace" could represent a kind of tranquility that the singer finds in accepting the past and moving forward.
The bridge brings in the idea of filling lungs and not letting go. It seems to be about holding on to the love that they have in the present while acknowledging the past. The lines "I guess we won, live it out love your love is one / I guess we won, live it out let me fall" could be interpreted as the singer being happy with where they are now, even if it's not with the person they're thinking about.
Overall, the song seems to be about coming to terms with a past love and finding peace with it. The imagery of the sea and the seasons help to create a dreamy, nostalgic feeling that captures the wistful nature of the song.
