Safe and Sound
Navigating Love's Turbulence: The Big Pink's Safe and Sound
Lyrics
Counting up the stakes
Reflecting on the risks involved
Does the long game waste a moment
Questioning if playing the long game is worth sacrificing the present moment
Waiting on rain rationing what’s left to lose
Awaiting rain and managing resources wisely
All the time it takes picking up from where we started
Picking up from the beginning, contemplating the time spent
Wonder what we’re running from or too
Wondering about the motives or fears prompting action
We need something to hold on too
Seeking something to anchor to
Your tell-tale heart
Referring to a distinctive and revealing characteristic
You echo I respond
Communication dynamics - a call and response
Turn the ship around
Changing course, avoiding aimless drifting
Were too good to be drifting
Asserting superiority, not settling for aimlessness
Safe and sound
Emphasizing the desire for security and stability
Turn the ship around
Reiterating the need to change direction
Got to find what we’re missing
Searching for what is lacking or lost
Hold it down
Urging to remain steadfast
Don’t be blowen out
Advising against being overwhelmed
Before we run a ground
Warning about the risks before reaching a critical point
There’s not easy way out
Acknowledging the absence of an easy solution
Turn the ship around
Repeating the need to change direction for safety
Safe and sound
Reiterating the desire for security and stability
Mystery and rage your too pretty for a cage of burden
Describing a person as too beautiful for a burdensome confinement
Trying to get the gist every page i skipped and burnt
Attempting to understand the essence, burning pages in the process
Dancing with them vultures in my fugitive apartment
Engaging with challenges in a transient living space
Angel with her wing clipped gunning for the love that yours
Depicting an angel seeking love despite obstacles
We need something to hold on too
Expressing the need for something stable to rely on
Your tell-tale heart
Referring to a distinctive and revealing characteristic (repeated)
You echo I respond
Communication dynamics - a call and response (repeated)
Turn the ship around
Repeating the need to change direction for safety
We too good to be drifting
Asserting superiority, not settling for aimlessness (repeated)
Safe and sound
Emphasizing the desire for security and stability (repeated)
Turn the ship around
Reiterating the need to change direction (repeated)
Got to find what we’re missing
Searching for what is lacking or lost (repeated)
Hold it down
Urging to remain steadfast (repeated)
Don’t be blowen out
Advising against being overwhelmed (repeated)
Before we run a ground
Warning about the risks before reaching a critical point (repeated)
There’s not easy way out
Acknowledging the absence of an easy solution (repeated)
Turn the ship around
Repeating the need to change direction for safety (repeated)
Safe and sound
Reiterating the desire for security and stability (repeated)
Running forwards overrated
Challenging the notion that progress always leads forward
Every doorway leads to a million more
Highlighting the endless possibilities and challenges ahead
And I’m not sure how we got here
Expressing uncertainty about the current situation
And I want more
Expressing a desire for more
