Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down Lyrics

i think this song is about addressing the pointlessness of life, in a hopeful way

there's a missing verse: Oh consider the world just for a moment Oh and it’s gone before we even know Oh but I’ll follow it round I’ll follow it round Yeah I’ll follow it round I’ll follow it round ‘Til peaceful the world lays me down

i think this final verse concludes the whole sentiment: yeah, individual life is without real significance, but i'll go along with it
