When Did You Get So Safe
Unmasking Safe Havens: Thea Gilmore's Bold Anthem
Lyrics
God you must have some balls
Expressing admiration or acknowledgment of courage.
To open your mouth at all
Suggesting a degree of audacity is required to speak out.
There's nothing happening
Observing a lack of significant events or developments.
Around this scene you're in
Commenting on the unremarkable nature of the current situation.
And when did you get so safe?
Raising a question about when the person became overly cautious or conventional.
Must be the last resort
Suggesting that being safe is a desperate last option.
To crash before you're caught
Implying a strategy of self-destruction before facing consequences.
All you pretty mid-town boys
Referring to fashionable individuals from the city center.
Pumping designer noise
Describing the trendy but empty sounds they create.
And when did you get so safe?
Reiterating the question of when the person became overly cautious.
Oh those veiled love songs that you play
Criticizing insincere love songs performed by the subject.
Have you really got nothing better to say?
Questioning the lack of substance in the person's communication.
And when did you get so safe?
Repeating the inquiry about the person's newfound caution.
Tell me when did you get so safe?
Reiterating the question with emphasis on when the change occurred.
This is the reckoning,
Stating that the current situation is a moment of judgment.
This is the mess we're in
Acknowledging the chaos or difficulty of the present state.
Your half smoked cigarette's
Describing a partially smoked cigarette as the height of rebellion.
As risqué as you can get
Asserting that the person's actions are as daring as they get.
And when did you get so safe?
Repeating the question about the person's safety with added emphasis.
Yeah you're all outlaws then
Characterizing the individuals as rebels only during a specific time.
Mavericks in Mercedes Benz
Depicting them as unconventional in luxurious vehicles.
A smile before you go
Referring to a smile before departure as a display of revolution.
It's revolution's fashion show
Describing a departure as a fashion show for revolution.
And when did you get so safe?
Repeating the question about when the person became overly cautious.
Oh those veiled love songs that you play
Criticizing insincere love songs performed by the subject.
Have you really got nothing better to say?
Questioning the lack of substance in the person's communication.
And when did you get so safe?
Repeating the inquiry about the person's newfound caution.
Tell me when did you get so safe?
Reiterating the question with emphasis on when the change occurred.
Tell me when did you get so safe?
Emphasizing the urgency of knowing when the person became safe.
