Safe and Sound
Flight of Freedom: Unveiling the Poetic Wings in 'Safe and Sound' by Two Day Coma
Lyrics
I want to be like the birds in the trees
Desire to live freely like birds, unbounded by terrestrial limitations
And never come back to the ground
Wish to remain aloft and never return to earthly matters
Safe and sound
Yearning for a state of security and safety
Lost and found
Suggests being lost but ultimately discovered or recovered
I want to be like the birds in the trees
Reiteration of the desire to emulate the freedom of birds
And flutter on carelessly by
Wishing to move through life carefree and untroubled
Up so high
Aspirational desire to be high above, perhaps transcending worldly concerns
Me oh my
An exclamation expressing surprise or wonder
I talked to the mountain
Attempt to overcome obstacles or challenges symbolized by the mountain
But it didn't move for me
Feeling of being unable to move or change something significant
And I walked to the fountain
Seeking purification or renewal, possibly from a source like a fountain
To try and get me clean
Desire for cleansing, a metaphorical need for purification
I want to be like the bears in the woods
Desire for seclusion or withdrawal from the world’s challenges
And just hibernate for a while
Wish to retreat and take a break from life’s demands
I need a while
A need for time or space away from the world
Give me a smile
Request for comfort or solace during this withdrawal
I wanna be like the tortoise you see
Desire to find safety and security within oneself
And just hide away in my shell
Yearning to retreat or hide from external pressures
Comfy in hell
Comfort found in isolation, even if it feels unpleasant
Oh me oh well
An expression of resignation or acceptance
I talked to the mountain
Repeated attempt to overcome obstacles or challenges
But it didn't move for me
Feeling of being unable to move or change something significant (reiteration)
And I walked to the fountain
Seeking purification or renewal (reiteration)
To try and get me clean
Desire for cleansing, a metaphorical need for purification (reiteration)
