Make the World Safe
Creating Safety Amidst Love's Vulnerability
Lyrics
I know they all want you
I understand that others desire you
With your Desdemona's eyes
Describing your eyes as captivating like Desdemona's (a character from Shakespeare's Othello)
I'll keep you from danger
I will protect you from harm
Save you from prying eyes
Ensure your privacy and shield you from prying eyes
I can make the world safe for you
Expressing the ability to create a safe world for the person
Come and live over here
Inviting the person to come and live in this safe world
I can make the world safe for you
Reiteration of the offer to make the world safe for the person
Come and live over here
Continued invitation to live in safety
I can make the world safe for you
Repeated assurance of creating a secure world
Nothing bad'll happen now
Emphasizing that nothing harmful will occur now
I've got a problem
Acknowledging a personal issue or challenge
I think you know how I feel
Suggesting that the person might understand the speaker's emotional state
Plans piling up in the corner
Referring to plans accumulating and causing stress
Eyeballing me every hour
Feeling observed or scrutinized constantly
Got a balcony
Having a balcony and an orange tree, elements of a comfortable and pleasant environment
And an orange tree
Describing the physical surroundings
You can save up and visit New York with me
Encouraging the person to save and visit New York together
I can make the world safe for you
Reiterating the ability to make the world safe
Nothing bad at all
Assuring that nothing bad will happen in this safe world
You've got no money
Acknowledging the person's financial constraints
So I know how you feel
Understanding and empathizing with the person's feelings due to lack of money
When you see the glitter
Noting the allure of wealth or luxury
Turn around it's no big deal
Suggesting that turning away from materialism is not a big issue
I can make the world safe for you
Reiterating the offer to create a safe world
Come and live over here
Inviting the person once again to live in safety
I can make the world safe for you
Restating the commitment to make the world safe for the person
Come and live over here
Continued invitation to come and live in this secure world
I can make the world safe for you
Reaffirming that nothing harmful will happen in this safe world
Nothing bad'll happen now
Emphasizing the assurance that the person will be protected from harm
