Safety Chain Blues
Embracing Change: Safety Chain Blues Unveils a City's Burning Transformation
Lyrics
Hanging on like hell to the safety chain
Hanging on desperately to the safety chain
Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears
A lifebuoy crashes into a valley of sorrow
All the lovers are in retreat
All the lovers are withdrawing or retreating
Out on the edge of the nervous street
On the outskirts of a nervous or anxious street
So deaf to the call of the wild
Unresponsive to the call of the wild
Deaf to the first born's whispering plea
Insensitive to the firstborn's quiet plea
Expanding frame the city is in heat
The city is intensifying, growing, possibly with conflict
Burning at the edges of the lonely street
Burning at the edges of the desolate street
But I want to hold your precious head
Expressing a desire to support and protect a loved one
I will not leave you nor pretend
Committing to stay and not feign or pretend
I'm going to hold you to the end
Determined to support and be there until the end
Hey mama didn't know we'd end up here
Surprise or disbelief that they ended up in this situation
The snapshot is all tiles and red walls
An image is characterized by tiles and red walls
Down at the squatter's camps they cannot compete
People in squatter's camps are unable to compete
The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet
The shepherd is restrained by his hands and feet
Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
Encouragement to create love, peace, and urgency for change
Great changes gonna carry you
Predicting significant positive transformations
Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
Repeat of the encouragement for love, peace, and urgency
Great changes gonna carry you
Reiterating the expectation of significant positive changes
