Safe Again
Rediscovering Security: Carole King's Journey to Feeling Safe Again
Lyrics
Seems so hard
Expressing the difficulty of a situation
All I want to do is let down my guard
Desire to lower emotional defenses and barriers
Laugh like a child and play out in the yard
Longing for carefree joy and innocence
I want to feel safe again
Yearning to regain a sense of security
I don't know
Uncertainty about a situation
What happened to you, where did you go
Questioning someone's disappearance or change
Wish I could not feel the cold wind blow
Wishing to avoid feeling emotional pain or vulnerability
I want to feel safe again
Desire to feel protected and secure again
If only I could believe everything will soon be
Wishing for a belief in positive outcomes, akin to fairy tales
like all the fairy tales I've read
Describing a desire for a storybook ending
But I feel so lost and naked
Feeling disoriented and exposed
And I wake up with the shape of a dream
Waking up with the remnants of an unrealized dream
In my head
Sense of a lingering dream in the mind
Seems so hard
Reiterating the difficulty of the situation
All I want to do is let down my guard
Desire to let go of defenses once more
Get through just one more day unscared
Wishing to get through a day without fear
I want to feel safe again
Longing to regain a sense of safety
I want to feel safe again
Repeated longing for safety and security
Safe again with you
Yearning to feel safe again specifically with someone
