Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sounds so cliché
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index
Sign of the time
Just as complex
As water to
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me
Now you can see
Make love not war, sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford to say these words, lightly
Or else our world, will truly, rest in peace
Let's not pretend
To justify
Rather amend
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart
Peace can be found
That's where you start
Not all around
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see
Make love not war, sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford to say these words, lightly
Or else our world, will truly, rest in peace
Make love not war, sounds so absurd, sounds so absurd
We can't afford to say there words, lightly
Or else our world, will truly, rest in peace
Make love not war, sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford to say there words, lightly
Or else our world, will truly, rest in peace
Make love not war, sounds so absurd, to me
We can't afford to say these words, lightly
Or else our world, will truly, rest in peace
The lyrics of the song "Rest in Pieces" by Me's are a commentary on the superficiality of advocating for peace without truly committing to it. The first paragraph highlights the irony of how talking about peace has become cliché and merely a trendy catchphrase. The mention of the middle and index fingers as a sign of the times suggests that peace has become a complex and misunderstood concept.
The second paragraph criticizes those who pay lip service to peace but do not truly embody it. The reference to the phrase "give peace a chance" implies that this sentiment is easily expressed but not acted upon. The line "Pretending, our hearts are in the right place, but your face shows a trace of hypocrisy" suggests that there is a disconnect between what people claim and how they actually act. The phrase "Don't tread on me" implies a defensive stance, further emphasizing the insincerity of their peace-related actions.
The third paragraph urges against pretending and justifying actions, instead emphasizing the need for genuine change and reflection. The mention of the heart as the starting point for finding peace implies that true peace comes from within oneself and cannot be imposed externally. The phrase "not all around" suggests that peace cannot be achieved by superficially promoting it everywhere but must be sought inwardly.
The final paragraph repeats the notion that advocating for love over war may seem absurd, but the consequences of not taking these words seriously are dire. The repeated line "we can't afford to say these words, lightly" implies that the consequences of not prioritizing love and peace are severe and may lead to the destruction of our world. The song ultimately serves as a reminder that peace requires genuine commitment and action, not just empty words or superficial gestures.
