Try Peace...
Tiana Major9 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's what I want
Something tells me
That it's wrong when
Logic tells me
You're the one
I can't help that
It's just a natural response
Maybe it's my heavy heart (maybe it's my heavy heart)
Won't take what it's ready for (for)
Damn my inner saboteur
Stubborn and likes holding on
But
Whenever, whenever
We're sitting here together
I question our forever
And somehow I forget we
Have all this to remember
I never have to worry at all
Maybe you're what I need
Maybe I should try peace
'Cause I know how to break
I'm seeing better days with your way
Maybe you're what I need
Maybe I should try peace
'Cause I know how to break
It's better days your way
I unravel (I unravel)
Day by day
I get scared I'll (I get scared I'll)
Scare you away
But you're fearless
And you don't judge
You know I'm human and it's what it was (what it was)
Maybe it's my heavy heart (maybe it's my heavy heart)
Won't take what it's ready for (whoa, whoa, for)
Damn my inner saboteur (inner saboteur)
Stubborn and likes holding on
But
Whenever, whenever
We're sitting here together
I question our forever
And somehow I forget we
Have all this to remember
I never have to worry at all (whoa)
Maybe you're what I need (maybe you're)
Maybe I should try peace (I should try peace)
'Cause I know how to break
I'm seeing better days with your way
Maybe you're what I need (maybe I, maybe I)
Maybe I should try peace
'Cause I know how to break
It's better days your way
Maybe you're what I need (maybe you're what)
Maybe I should try peace (and maybe I should, oh)
'Cause I know how to break
I'm seeing better days with your way
Maybe you're what I need (maybe I should try peace)
Maybe I should try peace (maybe try peace)
'Cause I know how to break
It's better days with your way
The lyrics of Tiana Major9's song Try Peace is all about embracing vulnerability and letting go of one's fear and doubts about a relationship. The song starts by questioning a natural response that is tearing away from logic; liking someone that one knows is not the best fit. The lyrics explore the fear of losing someone and sabotage in relationships. Tiana Major9's delivery is profound with the use of words like 'heavy heart' and inner saboteur, which suggests that the person does not believe in their instinct, causing further confusion about whether or not to push through with the relationship.
However, towards the end of the song, the person finds solace in trusting the relationship and the person they are with, realizing that they may be "what I need," and should "try peace." Overall, the song is a call for vulnerability, letting go of fear, and embracing peace in relationships.

Seeing a young black british woman wearing braids singing a gentle rnb song expressing vulnerability through a yearning for better peaceful days, man black british music has come such a loooooooong way and the tears are freely flowing because there's so much beauty in a human's full expression of potential, particularly in this context.
This is a phenomenal song.
