So Safe
Lost at Sea: A Melodic Journey Through Longing and Distance
Lyrics
My heart, my hope, my goals. You'd never make me choose
Expressing the importance of heart, hope, and goals, refusing to choose between them.
But I'm starting to break under the deafening silence in my room
Feeling the strain and vulnerability under the overwhelming silence in the room.
Mark me down, return to sender. I'm home and I'm on a bender
Rejecting or negating someone's assessment, feeling at home and possibly engaging in a self-destructive behavior ("on a bender").
I'm lost at sea, stuck between my dreams and my sanity
Feeling lost and conflicted between pursuing dreams and maintaining sanity.
If I could just melt you down, inject you into my skin
Expressing a desire to assimilate a loved one into oneself metaphorically.
If I could feel you in my blood, I'd give up everything
Willing to give up everything to feel the presence of the loved one in one's essence.
Tangled up in the sheets until I see you again
Intimate connection described, eagerly anticipating the next meeting.
Now you're so close to me, yet you're so far away
Feeling physical closeness but emotional distance with the loved one.
Counting every minute in miles
Measuring time and distance in the absence of the loved one.
Haven't seen you in a while
Expressing a prolonged separation and the longing for a reunion.
Be so safe, be so safe
An emphatic wish for the loved one's safety.
And I miss you. Across the continent, I'll call out your name
Expressing missing the loved one across a great distance.
Collecting possibly, eventually and every hypothetically
Collecting memories and experiences, possibly considering different scenarios.
Irrevocably you're my queen so
Affirming the loved one's significance and royalty in the speaker's life.
Mark me down return to sender I'm home and I'm on a bender
Reiteration of rejecting external judgments, possibly engaging in self-destructive behavior.
I'm lost at sea stuck between my dreams and my sanity
Reiterating the internal conflict between dreams and sanity.
If I could just melt you down, inject you into my skin
Desire to incorporate the loved one into one's being metaphorically.
If I could feel you in my blood, I'd give up everything
Expressing willingness to sacrifice everything for the presence of the loved one.
Tangled up in the sheets until I see you again
Continued anticipation of reuniting with the loved one.
Now you're so close to me, yet you're so far away
Perceiving physical closeness but emotional distance with the loved one.
Counting every minute in miles
Measuring time and distance during the loved one's absence.
Haven't seen you in a while
Highlighting an extended period without seeing the loved one.
Be so safe, be so safe
Repeating the fervent wish for the loved one's safety.
And I miss you
Reiterating the feeling of missing the loved one.
Be so safe, be so safe
Repeating the strong wish for the loved one's safety.
I have loved and lost before, but I'm not running anymore
Acknowledging past experiences of love and loss but expressing resilience.
And like you tell me everyday
Recalling the loved one's daily reminders to be safe.
Be so safe, be so safe
Reiterating the fervent wish for the loved one's safety.
Tangled up in the sheets until I see you again
Repeating the intimate connection and anticipation of reunion.
Tangled up in the sheets until I see you again
Reiterating the intimate connection and anticipation of reunion.
Now you're so close to me, yet you're so far away
Perceiving physical closeness but emotional distance with the loved one.
Counting every minute in miles
Measuring time and distance during the loved one's absence.
Haven't seen you in a while
Highlighting an extended period without seeing the loved one.
Be so safe, be so safe
Repeating the fervent wish for the loved one's safety.
Be so safe
Repeating the strong wish for the loved one's safety.
