O You
Peace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your children are growing up, your children have slowly started
Learning, twisting, turning inside out
The 90's were cool, I've heard all about
The 80's were better, I have no doubt
The blue screen has bent
I'm just trying to change the world that you live in
Trying to make it better for your children
O You
Your children are playing up for reason unknown to us
It seems that they might've sussed that when you inherit something
Broken, twisted, pillaged raped and burned
You won't have a devil's chance to learn
That breaking a finger having fun is tragic enough when
I'm just trying to change the world that you live in
O You
Trying to make it better for your children
O You
I'm just trying to change the world that you live in
O You
Trying to make it better for your children
O You
Hot lover, chemically blessed
Soul brother, spiritual mess
Hypnotizer, not another six string sympathiser
I'm just trying to change the world that you live in
O You
Trying to make it better for your children
O You
I'm just trying to change the world that you live in
O You
Trying to make it better for your children
O You
In "O You", Peace explores the struggle between generations and the desire to create a better world for future generations. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels a disconnect with the older generation, noticing differences in values and priorities. The line "maybe it's me that's changed, or the TV that's changed" suggests a generational divide in which the singer and the older generation no longer have a shared understanding. Meanwhile, the singer sees the younger generation "learning, twisting, turning inside out," and feels a responsibility to make the world a better place for them, free from the broken, twisted, and pillaged remnants of the past.
The song's repeated refrain of "O You" is a direct address to the listener, urging them to take action and help create a better world for their children. The lyrics also touch on themes of inherited trauma and struggle, with lines like "when you inherit something broken, twisted, pillaged, raped, and burned, you won't have a devil's chance to learn." The song suggests that the singer is committed to changing the world for the better, even if that means challenging established norms and ways of thinking.
