Rest in Peace
Harmony Unveiled: A Reflection on the True Cost of Peace
Lyrics
Let's talk of peace,
Expressing the desire to discuss peace
Sounds so cliche
Describing peace as a common and overused concept
A novelty,
Referring to peace as something new and unconventional
Catch phrase of the day
Characterizing peace as a trendy phrase
Middle, index,
Referring to fingers (middle and index) as a symbol of the current era
Sign of the time
Comparing the complexity of peace to water
Just as complex,
Stating that peace is just as intricate as other matters
As water to
Continuing the comparison of peace to water
Someone said
Quoting someone suggesting to give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
Advocating for the idea of giving peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
Emphasizing the simplicity of the peace message
While we're sitting
Describing the act of being indecisive or neutral
On the fence
Using the metaphor of sitting on the fence to depict indecision
Pretending,
Engaging in a false appearance of having good intentions
Our hearts are in the right place
Claiming sincerity in intentions while hinting at insincerity
But, your face
Noting a contradiction between words and facial expression
Shows a trace of
Referring to the presence of hypocrisy in facial expressions
Hypocrisy,
Warning against violating personal boundaries
Don't tread on me,
Rejecting interference with personal beliefs or values
Now you can see
Highlighting the consequences of ignoring warnings
Make love not war,
Advocating for love over war as a message
Sounds so absurd, to me
Expressing skepticism or disbelief in the love over war message
We can't afford
Stressing the importance of being cautious with such messages
To say these words, lightly
Emphasizing the weight of words in the context of peace
Or else our world
Warning about the potential consequences of careless words
Will truly, rest in peace
Suggesting that the world's fate depends on how peace is handled
Let's not pretend,
Rejecting pretense and advocating for authenticity
To justify
Discouraging attempts to justify insincere actions
Rather amend,
Encouraging correction of wrongdoing where true value lies
Where treasures lie
Emphasizing the importance of addressing core issues
Straight through the heart,
Referring to the heart as the source of genuine peace
Peace can be found
Suggesting that true peace is found within oneself
That's where you start,
Indicating that the journey towards peace starts from within
Not all around
Contrasting the internal nature of peace with external expectations
Someone said
Quoting the idea of giving peace a chance once again
Give peace a chance
Reiterating the call to give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
Emphasizing the simplicity of the peace message once more
While we're sitting
Reinforcing the image of indecision and neutrality
On the fence
Repeating the metaphor of sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Continuing the theme of false appearances and insincere intentions
Our hearts are in the right place
Restating the claim of having good intentions while questioning it
But, your face
Recalling the contradiction between words and facial expression
Shows a trace of
Reiterating the presence of hypocrisy in facial expressions
Hypocrisy,
Repeating the warning against violating personal boundaries
Don't tread on me, boy
Adding a strong caution against interference with personal beliefs
Now you can see
Summarizing the consequences of ignoring warnings and hypocrisy
