Safe And Sound
Azure Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
through the eyes of another,
we'll meet at night wet from the rain and
surprise each other with how we take away the pain
could you be the one to find me safe and sound
love is how it's lost not how it's found
i don't know those eyes but i see beauty there always
i know it's wrong to love you from afar but it's a craze
love is how it's lost not how it's found
You'll take away my pain could you be the one to find me safe and sound love is how it's lost not how it's found love is how it's lost not how it's found,
love is when i'm lost not when i'm found.
The lyrics of Azure Ray's "Safe and Sound" depict a search for love and safety in a world that can often be unpredictable and cruel. The singer speaks of living through the eyes of others and finding solace in their shared pain. The idea of meeting someone on a rainy night and surprising each other with their ability to heal is an optimistic and hopeful one, but also acknowledges the difficulties and challenges that come with finding love.
The singer's desire for love and safety is palpable throughout the song, as they ask if their potential partner could be the one to "find me safe and sound." The repetition of the line "love is how it's lost not how it's found" further emphasizes the idea that love is something that must be actively sought out and fought for, rather than simply stumbled upon. The singer also acknowledges the potentially problematic nature of their feelings, stating that it's "wrong to love you from afar but it's a craze."
