Avion Roe's songs are about hope and overcoming obstacles. The 10 song album connects from the first song to the last with sound effects, pianos and subtle guitars while singer Evan Lester screams out thoughts that couldn't find songs to call their homes. Lester describes the record best: "Avion Roe saved our lives, ...We forgot everything we new about music and started over. 'Fiction' took over a year to make but it was worth it, we love playing these songs live." And their live show is not one to miss: guitar player Jordan Modro spends the entire set making one guitar sound like three, Sean Humphrey (bass) will more than likely jump off something while you're watching them. The drummer, Josh Cutlip, holds the group together while delivering a hyper, punk-influenced performance, and with all of this going on on the stage you still may find it hard to look away from their theatrical, mic-swinging singer Evan Lester.

Safe To Say
Avion Roe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We got a long way down from here and it's far away
I was way away away
Not feeling it
Way away away
You were up, down too down
To be moved I was up out too
Out making my own way
And I'm feeling it

Way away away

Did it hurt at all
When you left it all
Is it safe to say it's all been said
And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill
Don't do this, no don't do this no

I got a lot less careful and I lost all to say
You were way away away
Not feeling it
Way away away
You were up too much for bringing back that trust I miss that innocence I lost I'm making my own way
And I'm feeling it
Way away away

Did it hurt at all
When you left it all
Is it safe to say it's all been said
And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill
Don't do this no don't

Did it hurt at all
When you left it all
Is it safe to say it's all been said
And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill
Don't do this, no don't do this no

We're all too blame, we're all too late
Did it hurt at all
When you left it all
Is it safe to say it's all been said
And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill
('cause you love the thrill)

'Cause you love the thrill
Did it hurt at all
When you left it all
Is it safe to say it's all been said
And I love you still cause you love the thrill
Don't do this, no don't
Did it hurt at all
When you left it all
Is it safe to say it's all been said
And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill
Don't do this, no don't do this

Don't do this no don't do this
Don't do this no don't do this no

Overall Meaning

The song "Safe To Say" by Avion Roe appears to be about a failed relationship that has left the singer feeling lost and alone. The opening lines "We got a long way down from here and it's far away" suggest a sense of distance and disconnect, with the couple in question having grown apart to the point where they are no longer on the same wavelength.

The lyrics also touch on themes of regret and longing, with lines such as "I lost all to say" and "I miss that innocence I lost" hinting at a sense of nostalgia for what once was. The chorus repeatedly asks "Did it hurt at all / When you left it all / Is it safe to say it's all been said / And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill / Don't do this no don't do this no," which suggests that the singer is still clinging to the hope that the relationship can be salvaged, despite everything that has happened.

Overall, "Safe To Say" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the pain and confusion of a failing relationship. Through its heartfelt lyrics and bittersweet melody, it speaks to anyone who has experienced the heartbreak of losing someone they love.

Line by Line Meaning

We got a long way down from here and it's far away
We have a long path ahead of us and it's going to take a while to get there

I was way away away
I was completely disconnected and not present

Not feeling it
I wasn't experiencing anything emotional

You were up, down too down
Your emotions were all over the place

To be moved I was up out too
I was moving on and leaving you behind

Out making my own way
I was finding my own path without you

And I'm feeling it
Now I'm starting to feel something

Did it hurt at all When you left it all
Did you feel any pain when you disconnected from everything?

Is it safe to say it's all been said
Can we finally come to the conclusion that everything has been communicated?

And I love you still 'cause you love the thrill
I still love you, but it seems like you are addicted to the thrill of things, rather than love

Don't do this, no don't do this no
Don't continue to thrive off the excitement rather than love

I got a lot less careful and I lost all to say
I became more careless and lost my ability to communicate

You were up too much for bringing back that trust I miss that innocence I lost I'm making my own way
You were too high up and it was difficult to bring back trust. I missed the innocence that I lost, but I am moving forward on my own

We're all too blame, we're all too late
We are all responsible and it's too late to fix things

'Cause you love the thrill
Because you are addicted to excitement
