The lyrics are in Creole French. It is one of the many NIN songs that includes the phrase "[[Nothing Can Stop Me Now]]," and one of the few to include a vocalist other than [[Trent Reznor]]. In addition, it was the first instrumental written for ''The Fragile.'' [http://www.9inchnails.com/articles/reznors-edge.php]
The song itself was conceived during a very dark period in [[Trent Reznor]] 's life. In 2009 he disclosed that he had rented a house on an ocean with the external intent to write some music but in reality had attempted suicide there. This song was the only song to come out of that time and place. He still feels strange playing it live because it serves as a reminder of this dark period in his life. Reznor has stated that "[[Adrift And At Peace]]" is the conclusion to "La Mer." ([[:Image:LM-AAAP.gif|Source]])
