I don't think the song lets down at "peace, shalom" at all.
I'm clearly seeing this song as Rivers' statement that he's finally at real peace with who he is, after all of the "identity" struggles he's had. The fact that it closes the album makes just as strong a case as the lyrics and music as well. I think he could end it all after this and know that he's finally found the meaning he's been looking for in his life, and be happy by that.
PS: The guitar in "I'm flying - We are the Angels" really reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate.
