From my view, Trent tends to associate the ocean with death. Analyze the lyrics of The Great Below without listening to the song or imagining it in your head. Do the same with La Mer. Then think of the title of this song. Listen to this song after that. You should realize he's finally at peace from all the pain he endured from his addictions to drugs that he finally got clean of before With Teeth came out. Adrift and At Peace really just seems like a "release" from his pain, or I guess, life. You could compare this to the meanings of other songs on The Fragile, for example, I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally. Much of this album is about betrayal, loss, and pain. In conclusion, this song really seems like alleviation of pain through death and how that finally feels.
