Name: This Doesn't Feel like Peace, Love, or Understanding
Duration: P00H03M11S
Description: An obvious spin-off of the Nick Lowe song. I've said this to myself so many times over the course of my life. It felt fitting to finally write a song about the feeling of frustration you get when all it ever seems people are doing is bickering!

lyrics

this doesn’t feel like peace, love or understanding (words & music by salim nourallah)

this doesn't feel like peace, love or understanding
this doesn't feel like anything happy at all
i asked you for some peace, love and understanding
it feels more like you're building the Berlin Wall

maybe it’s the distant hidden in your voice
or maybe it's the way you treat me like a boy
and maybe it's the way you're looking at my prose
or maybe it's the way you criticize my clothes
oh no, i don't know

this doesn't feel like peace, love or understanding
it feels more like my life’s a ticking time-bomb
i thought i asked of you without coming off too demanding
the way you cut me down left me feeling three feet small

maybe there is really no such thing as peace
or maybe it's just never gonna come to me
and maybe all we need is love while we make war
but i'm so tired of fighting for God only knows what for
what's this all for?

this doesn't feel like peace, love or understanding
i think destruction is the one thing you’ve got on your mind
this doesn't feel like peace, love or understanding
it feels more like an execution of something sublime
