safety
Beacon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold my heartbeat, in your hands
We're all alone, your voice is calm
I'll give in to your demands
It's the only way this can end, your promises, circling what's left
Follow the lines, across my hand
Just be direct, with what they say
I need more time, I need some air
It's the only way for this to end, your promises, circling what's left
The lyrics in Beacon's song "Safety" suggest a theme of submission and being at the mercy of someone else. The singer sets up an image of being "locked on" with the "safety's off," implying that they are ready to go and engage in something, possibly dangerous. However, they then mention holding their heartbeat in someone else's hands, indicating vulnerability and trust. The two seem to be isolated and alone, and the other person's "voice is calm," hinting at a possible power dynamic where one person is attempting to control the situation while the other complies.
The lines "It's the only way this can end, your promises, circling what's left / Follow the lines, across my hand" imply that the singer is resigned to this fate, whatever it may be. The idea of circling suggests something coming full circle and closing, while the instruction to follow the lines across their hand implies that this is a predetermined path. They ask the other person to be direct with what they say, which could suggest a desire for honesty and clarity, but then add that they need more time and air, indicating another request for something from the other person. The lyrics conclude with "I asked for love, you had none to spare / It's the only way for this to end, your promises, circling what's left," suggesting that the singer was hoping for love and got something else entirely, and that their fate is still being determined by the other person's promises.

You're locked on, the safety's off
Hold my heartbeat, in your hands
We’re all alone, your voice is calm
I'll give in to your demands
It's the only way this can end
Your promises, circling what’s left
Follow the lines, across my hand
Just be direct, with what they say
I need more time, I need some air
I asked for love, but you had none to spare
It's the only way this can end
Your promises, circling what’s left

It's the only way this can end
Your promises, circling what’s left
