Z Berg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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 song "Peace and Quiet" by Z Berg is a haunting and dark narrative of a woman's obsession with a man that leads to his eventual demise. 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. Despite his protests and warnings, the woman cannot stop herself from doing whatever it takes to keep him with her, even if it means biting his lips until she tastes blood. Eventually, the woman reaches a breaking point and kills the man by squeezing and squeezing him until he takes his final ragged breath.
The song conveys a sense of tragedy and sadness, as the woman was not in control of her actions and consumed by her passion for the man. The lyrics suggest that the only way for her to achieve peace was through his death. It's a powerful message that forces us to examine the darker side of love and the human psyche.
