What Safe Means
Finding Safety in Vulnerability
Lyrics
You settled into uneasy sleep, a subtle hint that things were changing and every breath of labored rest brought new designs of old regrets.
You experienced a restless sleep, indicating a subtle awareness of changes, with each breath during uneasy rest bringing new versions of past regrets.
And how they aged you! How they took your strength away!
The challenges and experiences have visibly aged you and drained your strength.
(When they entered your body and pinned fear to weight)
Referring to the intrusion of something harmful into your body, causing fear and a heavy emotional burden.
Pull out! Pull out!
An urgent call to withdraw or retreat from a difficult situation.
Lead your weak cells to oxygen, and sew your skin to bone.
Encouragement to guide your weakened self to a source of life (oxygen) and reinforce your physical structure.
You can hold on! Hold on!
An assertion that you can persevere, urging you to hold on despite challenges.
Lend dead weight to stronger hands.
Suggesting to contribute whatever strength remains, even in death, to those who are stronger.
You are not alone.
An assurance that in your struggles, you are not isolated or without support.
(You are not alone)
Reiteration that you are not alone, emphasizing the presence of support or companionship.
If you’re weighed down, I’ll lay your fears to rest
If you are burdened, a promise to alleviate your fears and provide comfort.
You are safe now.
A declaration that you are now in a secure and protected state.
(You are safe now)
Reiteration of the safety and security, emphasizing the comforting state.
