Peace is Fine
Embracing Existence: Deciphering the Depths of 'Peace is Fine'
Lyrics
As much as I respect the burden
Expressing respect for a heavy responsibility or duty
I feel the doom
Feeling a sense of impending danger or gloom
There's way too much that seems uncertain
Noticing a significant amount of uncertainty in various aspects
Except the tomb
Acknowledging the certainty of death or a grave outcome
The sight of sunlight makes me want to fly
Expressing a desire to soar when faced with sunlight
But it's the thought of no more rain that keeps me dry
Preferring the idea of rain over the brightness of sunlight for emotional comfort
For I am just a man
Identifying oneself as a human
An atom in the plan
Considering oneself as a small part of a larger plan
Some writing on the wall
Being insignificantly mentioned in a larger scheme, like writing on a wall
That stars don't understand.
Suggesting the insignificance of humans in the grandeur of the cosmos
I am just a line
Describing oneself as just a line in the narrative of time
In the book written by time
Being a part of the larger story or history written by time
A naked mortals mass
Depicting humans as a combination of thoughts and dust
Of thought and dust combined
Emphasizing the mortal nature of humans
Who's decided that peace is fine.
Asserting a decision that peace is acceptable or satisfactory
The consequence of being no one
Highlighting the consequences of being insignificant
Is sense of self
Stating that self-awareness comes from being someone
And the circumstance is you'll get nowhere
Emphasizing the importance of assistance or collaboration
Without the help
Stating that progress or success requires external support
It's a thing a man just can't deny
Acknowledging an undeniable aspect of life
Which you shouldn't waste your time to try and define
Advising against wasting time trying to define certain aspects of life
Cause you are just a speck
Portraying oneself as a tiny entity
A card inside a deck
Comparing oneself to a card in a deck, emphasizing insignificance
The light outside the lamp
Describing one's role as a small part of a larger context
The rain inside the wet.
Emphasizing the inconspicuous nature of one's existence
You are just the crow
Depicting oneself as a crow facing challenges in a harsh environment
Crippled in the snow
Describing a state of vulnerability, likening it to a crippled crow in the snow
The rat that lays decaying
Comparing oneself to a decaying rat, symbolizing the transient nature of life
An arrow in a bow
Using the metaphor of an arrow in a bow to indicate decision-making power
That can decide if peace is fine
Reiterating the power to decide if peace is acceptable
Who's decided that peace is fine
Confirming the decision that peace is fine
Who's decided the song is fine
Stating that the song, and by extension the message, is acceptable or satisfactory
