Safe Space
Finding Sanctuary: Embracing Safety Amid Life's Fractures
Lyrics
I'm sick of waiting desperately just to be found
I'm tired of waiting anxiously just to be noticed.
With my reasons mediocrely profound
My reasons for waiting are only moderately profound.
Holding on to hands til the bones break at the core
I'm holding onto relationships until they become unbearable.
For the looks that you came to adore
I endure hardships for the admiration you once had for me.
Have you kissed the ground with your head so pale
Have you bowed down with a pale face in submission?
We change continuously but for me it's the same
While everything around me changes, my experience remains constant.
Balancing on a silver scale with present weights
Balancing on a delicate scale with the burdens of the present.
That'll always stay the place for me to put the blame
I always find a place in the present to assign blame.
You know you're safe here
Assurance that one is protected and secure in this place.
My dreams of them in white
Referring to dreams of others dressed in white, possibly symbolizing purity or innocence.
There's a safe space where we can sleep tonight
A sanctuary where we can find comfort and rest.
There's a safe space where we can sleep tonight
Reiteration of the existence of a safe space for sleep.
I'm not an expert in making the worst mistakes but I've made some too
I may not be skilled at avoiding mistakes, but I've made my share.
All the people down the streets walking down straight lines on this ice cold concrete
Observing people conforming to societal expectations on cold, unfeeling streets.
I wonder what they have done to put salt on this hesitant wound
Contemplating the actions others take to numb the pain of their hesitant wounds.
To make the flaws disappear but you don't seem to make an effort to be near
Noticing a lack of effort in someone to overcome imperfections and be close.
You know you're safe here
Reiteration of the reassurance that one is secure in this place.
My dreams of them in white
Repeating dreams of others dressed in white, emphasizing purity or innocence.
There's a safe space where we can sleep tonight
Emphasizing the existence of a secure space for sleep.
There's a safe space where we can sleep tonight
Reiterating the presence of a secure space for sleep.
