Peace Of Mind
Trances Arc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Accidental in your ocean
I was restless in my clothing
Caught up in the still of motion
Patches, patches on your shoulders
Too close and spilling over
Eyes wide open on the canvass
Rolling over four leaf clovers
All in season, barely breathing
Stay up, stay up, my love
Stay up, we'll get by
I'm looking for a peace of mind,
Still looking for a peace of mind.
Rooks and owls under the stairs
Into the twilight, never sleeping
Goodbye to your window waving
Quiet, quiet, no one hearing
Pages, pages, yellow turning
Letters we would end up burning
But you're here and now and with a
Piece of mind we'll end up sleeping
While we're waiting,
Never fading
Stay up, stay up, my love
Stay up, we'll get by
I'm looking for a peace of mind,
Still looking for a peace of mind
Wake up, wake up, my love
I know, we'll get by
I'm looking for a peace of mind,
Still looking for a peace of mind.
Wake up, wake up, my love
The sound's white like a dove
The night won't pass us by
We won't know 'till we try
Stay up, stay up, my love
I know, we'll get by
I'm looking for a peace of mind,
Still looking for a peace of,
Peace of mind
In Trances Arc's song Peace of Mind, the singer seems to be searching for inner peace or a sense of stability amidst chaos. The opening lines of the song, "Hello hello, how'd you make it, accidental in your ocean," imply that the singer has stumbled upon something unexpected and is seeking clarity or understanding. They feel uneasy in their own skin, as evidenced by the line "I was restless in my clothing, caught up in the still of motion." The next few lines use various metaphors to describe feeling overwhelmed and out of control. "Patches, patches on your shoulders, too close and spilling over" suggests that the singer is carrying too much emotional baggage. "Eyes wide open on the canvas, rolling over four leaf clovers" implies that they are hyper-aware of their surroundings but unable to find any sense of good luck or optimism.
As the song progresses, the singer describes the people and things that have been constants in their life. "Rooks and owls under the stairs, into the twilight never sleeping" could be a reference to memories from childhood or a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. The line "Quiet, quiet, no one hearing" suggests that the singer feels ignored or unheard. The final verses of the song express a sense of hope and determination. The singer is still searching for peace of mind, but they are confident that they can find it. The repeated refrain of "stay up, stay up, my love" suggests that they have someone by their side who can help them through the difficult times. The song ends with the line "I'm looking for a peace of mind, still looking for a peace of, peace of mind," implying that the journey towards inner peace is ongoing.
Line by Line Meaning
Hello hello, how'd you make it
Greeting and asking how someone ended up where they are
Accidental in your ocean
You are lost or floating aimlessly
I was restless in my clothing
Feeling uneasy or uncomfortable in your own skin
Caught up in the still of motion
Feeling stagnant in the midst of activity
Patches, patches on your shoulders
Your burden or responsibility is showing and overwhelming you
Too close and spilling over
Your burden or responsibility is too much for you to handle
Eyes wide open on the canvass
See the bigger picture, be observant and aware
Rolling over four leaf clovers
Looking for luck or a break
All in season, barely breathing
Going through life, but barely surviving
Stay up, stay up, my love
Keep going, don't give up
Stay up, we'll get by
Keep going, things will get better
I'm looking for a peace of mind,
Seeking inner calm and satisfaction
Still looking for a peace of mind.
Still trying to find inner calm and satisfaction
Rooks and owls under the stairs
Something sinister or ominous lurking in the shadows
Into the twilight, never sleeping
Lost in a dreamlike state or always in a state of unrest
Goodbye to your window waving
Saying farewell to familiar or comfortable things
Quiet, quiet, no one hearing
Feeling unheard or ignored
Pages, pages, yellow turning
Memories and experiences fading away with time
Letters we would end up burning
Destroying or letting go of parts of our past
But you're here and now and with a
Grateful for the present moment and the people in it
Piece of mind we'll end up sleeping
Finding inner peace allows for restful sleep
While we're waiting,
During the journey towards inner peace
Never fading
Hoping to maintain this inner calm
Wake up, wake up, my love
Rousing from a state of unrest
I know, we'll get by
Having faith in a positive outcome
The sound's white like a dove
Purity and peace in sound or nature
The night won't pass us by
Don't let time slip away, take advantage of the present moment
We won't know 'till we try
Taking risks and trying new things can lead to unexpected results
Peace of mind
Inner calm and satisfaction
