Dharma In Popular Music: Weezer, “Peace”

"I went through a real ascetic phase, but that was before I was a Vipassana meditator. That was at the height of my misery at the beginning of 2003." -River Cuomo

More and more I can’t say no,
So afraid of letting go.
If there’s something I can grab,
You can bet I’ll pay the tab.

Counting all the flowers,
waste the precious hours,
I need to find some peace.

All these problems on my mind,
make it hard for me to think.
There is no way I can stop,
my poor brain is gonna pop.

And I don’t have a purpose
scattered on the surface,
I need to find some peace.

woah-oh-oh-oh. (repeated)

And all the broken tethers,
we can bring together,
I need to find some peace.

woah-oh-oh-oh.

I need to find some peace.

I need to find some peace.

woah-oh-oh-oh.

Hear the song on Youtube: “Peace” from the 2005 Geffen Album “Make Believe” by Weezer
