Serenity
Peter & Jacob Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see you paid the toll
You earned the right to lose control
It's gets so easy to let it go
When you got the heart to lose your soul

Maybe Heaven ain't where I'm bound
I might have lost too much ground
Can't find the light in the underground
But you found me in the lost and found

The wind blew round that old oak tree
Maybelline made love to me
Gave me something I could never see
Sweet serenity

The leaves turn and baby were turning to
There not much that you can do
Just know what's real and what is true
I look around and all I see is you

Don't want to lose, don't want to win
Don't want to come this way again




Don't want to take it on the chin
But nothing starts before something ends

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Peter & Jacob's song "Serenity" talks about losing control - it's something that we all face at some point in our lives, but we usually want to avoid it. The lyrics suggest that sometimes it's necessary to lose control, to let go of everything that holds us back, and to surrender to the moment, even if it means losing ourselves in the process. The singer acknowledges that the journey towards serenity is difficult and often leads to doubt and confusion, but the end result is always worth it.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on the idea of heaven, questioning whether it's a destination they're bound for. They feel like they've lost too much ground, which could mean that they've been through some hard times that have left them feeling defeated or maybe they've messed up in some way. They express that they're struggling to find their way back to the light and that they're lost, but then someone comes along and helps them find their way. This person is a source of comfort and security, something they can always count on even in the darkest of moments.


Overall, the song is about finding peace and serenity in the midst of chaos and confusion. It's about trusting that everything will work out in the end and that even though life can be tough, the people who truly care about us will always be there to help us through the tough times.
