I gotta find peace of mind
I know another cord
I gotta find peace of mind
See, this what that voice in your head says
When you try to get peace of mind
I gotta find peace of mind
I gotta find peace of mind
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says there's no me without him
Please help me forget about him
He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory
Constantly holding me, constantly holding me
I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused
Mmh
I need to tell I'm, I'm undone because
Mmh
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says it's impossible without him, but I know it's possible
To finally be in love
And know the real meaning of
A lasting relationship, not based on ownership
I trust every part of you, 'cause all that I
All that you say you do
You love me despite myself
Sometimes I, I fight myself
I just can't believe that you, would have anything to do
With someone so insecure, someone so immature
Oh you inspire me, to be the higher me
You made my desire pure
You made my desire pure
Just tell me what to say, I can't find the words to say
Please don't be mad with me, I have no identity
All that I've known is gone, all I was building on
I don't want to walk with you, how do I talk to you
Touch my mouth with your hands
Touch my mouth with your hands
Oh I want to understand
The meaning of your embrace
I know now I have to face, the temptations of my past
Please don't let me disgrace
Where my devotion lays
Now that I know the truth, now that it's no excuse
Keeping me from your love, what was I thinking of?
Holding me from your love, what was I thinking of?
You are my peace of mind
That old me is left behind
You are my peace of mind
That old me is left behind, yeah
He says it's impossibleB
But I know it's possible
He says it's improbable
But I know it's tangeable
He says it's not grabbable
But I know it's haveable
'Cause anything's possible
Oh anything is possible
Please come free my mind
Please come meet my mind
Can you see my mind, oh
Won't you come free my mind?
Oh I know it's possible
Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, yey
Anything, anything, anything, anything, yey
Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, yey
Oh free, free, free, free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free, free, free, free your mind
Oh, it's so possible
Oh it's so possible
I'm telling you it's possible
I'm telling you it's possible
Free, free, free, free, free, free, get free now
Free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free
You're my peace of mind
That old me is left behind
You're my peace of mind
You're my peace of mind
He's my peace of mind
He's my peace of mind
He's my peace of mind
What a joy it is to be alive
To get another chance, yeah
Everyday's another chance
To get it right this time
Everyday's another chance
Oh what a merciful, merciful, merciful God
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful God
Oh what a merciful, merciful, merciful, merciful, merciful
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, merciful
Merciful, merciful, wonderful
Merciful, wonderful

    I may be wrong, but to me this song is once again about God. That's perfectly fine with me because I'm a proud christian and I totally identify with this song. I think the song is sort of a before and after type thing. In the beginning she seems very confused and upset. She needs peace of mind. They after the line "Touch my mouth with your hands" she talks about how her life is so much better now that she's found peace of mind through this person. I think that in the end of this song she is telling everyone that the remedy for whatever problem you have is God. Whatever mind shackles that hold you back with be unlocked if you just let him do it. You will "get free" if you get with god. I may be wrong but that's just how I took it. Cause this song has really effected me in that way. I love it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
