Peace - An End Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Yoshifirebird 

Cover art for Peace - An End lyrics by King Crimson

This song says a powerful thing to the pomposity of the intellectual

"Searching for me You look everywhere Except beside you Searching for you You look everywhere But not inside you"

For me these lyrics and this section of the song - is the song. In the Wake of Poseidon closes shrewdly on this note. The lyrics mean that peace has no cardinality. It is not an object that may be defined by postulates and formulas, nor a subject of extreme contemplation or calculation. Peace is an essence that you feel; if you must rationalize peace then you are empty. Peace is simple and primordial for those who can feel.
