Peace I Miss
Yearning for Serenity: Decoding Deja Montoya's 'Peace I Miss'
Lyrics
What would I give
Expressing a desire to give something, setting the tone for reflection and sacrifice.
What would I give
-What would I give
-And you couldn't hear me, even if you listened
Feeling unheard, emphasizing a communication barrier.
Can't make your mind up, I'll make that decision
Offering to make decisions in the face of indecision.
We don't see the same world, or got the same vision
Highlighting differences in perspectives or goals.
Need real serenity and real recognition
Desiring genuine peace and recognition.
This my truth, sayin prayers in a loop
Affirming personal truth, involving prayers and a sense of repetition.
Stuck in these four walls, sometimes I can't move
Feeling trapped or stagnant within confined spaces.
Odds stack up, can't fall I refuse
Refusing to succumb to challenges or odds.
Fires in my mind, been burning from a few
Experiencing inner turmoil represented by metaphorical fires.
This void ain't new
Acknowledging a longstanding emptiness or void.
Broken words are my truth
Truth is expressed through broken words.
Hell got the best view
Suggesting that challenges offer a unique perspective.
The part of me that's you
A part of the speaker is reminiscent of someone else.
And it's that piece I miss, And it's that peace I miss
Yearning for a missing piece and peace, struggling with inner conflict.
I Can’t find peace with this
-Traded my heart for a piece of his
Having traded personal well-being for a connection with another.
I Can't find peace within, like that peace with him
Struggling to find inner peace after a connection is lost.
At least pain didn't win, at least I'll live again
Acknowledging that despite pain, there is hope for a new beginning.
Yea, but will I live again, will I live again
Questioning the possibility of living again after a challenging experience.
And will I live again? will I live again?
-And it's that piece I miss, and It's that peace I miss
Reiteration of the longing for a missing piece and peace.
I can't find peace with this, yeah
-And what would I give?
Repetition of the theme of sacrifice and giving up.
Singin
-What would I give?
-I would give it all up, just so I wouldn't break away
-Give it all up, just so I wouldn't break away
Reaffirming the willingness to sacrifice to avoid breaking away.
So I'm
Indicating a state of detachment or distraction.
Spaced out, world on my brain
Describing a mental state of being spaced out, dealing with unchanged circumstances, and lingering past heartbreak.
Time goes, I stay the same
-Tears don't fall, face is stained from past heartbreak that remains
-I move on but the memory lingers
-Better days at the tip of my fingers
-Tryna deal with this new found anger
-You see me but I don't see the same girl
Not recognizing oneself or others due to significant changes.
We don't see the same, we don't the same
-No oh yeah
Emphasizing differences in perception or understanding.
And I've tried and I tried
Struggling with deception, seeking elevation, and a desire to feel alive.
Sing through the lies
-Lift me to life
-Lift me to life
-I wanna feel alive
Expressing a longing to experience life to the fullest.
And it's the piece I miss,
Repetition of the theme of missing a piece and peace, questioning the possibility of finding peace.
And It's that peace I miss
-I Can’t find peace with this
-Traded my heart for a piece of his
-I Can't find peace within, like that peace with him
-At least pain didn't win, at least I'll live again
-Yea, but will I live again, will I live again?
-And will I live again? will I live again?
-And it's that piece I miss, and It's that peace I miss
-I can't find peace with this, yeah
-That piece I miss
Final affirmation of the absence of peace.
No peace with this
-No oh..
