Peace and Quiet
Z Berg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It started with a feeling
Running down my spine
It ended with a whimper in the night
When they carted me away finally my
Tongue was tied the day was bright and gray

Those full moon eyes
They made my heart go skipping beats
I couldn't eat or sleep
I followed him like somebody stuck in a dream
He made my knees go weak

I couldn't stop until I had him
I just had to be without him
Love was drowning out my own heartbeat
Then finally he succumbed
Admitting his defeat and gave his love to me

I squeezed and squeezed him tightly
Right between my thighs i thought I'd die
I couldn't take the feeling so I
I squeezed and squeezed until
That final wild cry
I sighed goodnight and kissed
Him in his sleep
Then finally peace and quiet peace and quiet
Peace and quiet peace

It started as a love like any other one
At least that's what I thought
But I'd bite his lips too hard
So I could taste the blood
His kiss was not enough

The roar of my own lust was growing deafening
I couldn't eat or sleep
And he kept on saying, "Girl
You'll be the death of me" i never disagreed

And soon the sound was too much to bear
I just couldn't show how much I cared
I couldn't ever let him leave
And so one day while he was gazing up at me
I fell into the deep

I squeezed and squeezed until the
Light went from his eyes i watched him die
I felt his heart stop beating but I
I squeezed and squeezed until
That final ragged sigh
I cried and cried and kissed him in his sleep
Then finally peace and quiet peace and quiet

Peace and quiet peace and quiet




Peace and quiet peace and quiet
Peace and quiet peace

The lyrics reveal how the woman's intense desire for him consumed her to the point where she had to end his life to get the peace and quiet she craved. The song opens with the woman reminiscing about how it all started with a feeling that ran down her spine, eventually culminating in a whimper and her being carted away. She remembers how she followed him like someone stuck in a dream, and his full moon eyes made her heart skip a beat.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that her love for him turns into an all-consuming obsession, and her roar of lust drowns out everything else, leaving her unable to eat or sleep.
