Something Safe
Corbin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watched you sleeping so quiet
Oh baby just right
Wrap up it's freezing outside
Hold my hand so tight
Don't know what's creeping at night
Come inside
You're mine, you're mine
And all you want I'll
I'll give it to you
I'm, I'm falling so hard
And you can see right through me
Lived alone for such a long time
There's not a soul for miles
Feel my heart what you find?
Always too quick
This can't be right
From where I stand tonight
This sinking feeling feels just fine
Lay your head down nice, and slow
Do whatever, whatever you like
You're mine, you're mine
And all you want I'll
I'll give it to you
I'm, I'm falling so hard
And you can see right through me
I see the light in you
Together our skin bonded
We movin' as one
Through the storm
Can you feel me on lonely nights
That's not as warm
While I'm stuck somewhere far as fuck
Work then I'm torn
I make myself sick
I feel worried
I feel darkness
I hold you tight
Said the stories of a hardship
Black fills the night
Please don't slip
The sun will come again
The lyrics of Corbin's song "Something Safe" convey a sense of longing, vulnerability, and a deep connection with someone. The opening lines set the scene, describing the singer watching someone sleeping peacefully, emphasizing their delicate state and the need for warmth and protection. The repetition of the phrase "you're mine, you're mine" highlights the possessiveness and intensity of their feelings for this person.
The chorus expresses a willingness to give everything to this person, suggesting a strong emotional attachment and a desire to fulfill their needs. The line "I'm falling so hard and you can see right through me" reveals the singer's vulnerability and the sense that this person has the power to see them completely, both their strengths and weaknesses.
The second verse explores the solitude the singer has experienced for a long time, emphasizing their isolation. However, the meeting with this person brings a change in their heart and suggests a feeling of hope and belonging. The lines "This sinking feeling feels just fine, lay your head down nice and slow" imply that despite the uncertainty, being with this person feels right, and they are willing to allow the relationship to develop at its own pace, giving the other person the freedom to do as they please.
The final stanza brings a contrast between the light and warmth of the singer's connection with this person and the darkness and hardship they often face. The mentioning of being "stuck somewhere far as fuck" and feeling torn between work and obligations showcases the challenges they experience. However, they find solace in holding onto this person tightly, believing that the stories of hardship will eventually fade away, and the sun will come again.
Overall, "Something Safe" captures the essence of an intense and passionate connection, where vulnerability, longing, and a sense of protection are combined with a search for solace and comfort.

In the corner of my eye
From my peripheral vision
I watched you sleeping so quiet
I observed you peacefully asleep
Oh baby just right
Perfect in every way
Wrap up it's freezing outside
Bundle up because it's very cold outdoors
Hold my hand so tight
Grip my hand firmly
Don't know what's creeping at night
Unaware of what lurks in the darkness
Come inside
Enter the enclosed space
No one else is here
There are no other individuals present
You're mine, you're mine
You belong to me
And all you want I'll
I am willing to fulfill your desires
I'll give it to you
I will provide it for you
I'm, I'm falling so hard
I am deeply and intensely falling in love
And you can see right through me
You possess the ability to perceive my true self
Lived alone for such a long time
Existed in solitude for an extended duration
There's not a soul for miles
There is no one around for miles
Feel my heart what you find?
What do you discover within my heart?
Always too quick
Always acting hastily
This can't be right
This cannot be correct
From where I stand tonight
From my perspective at this moment
This sinking feeling feels just fine
This unpleasant sensation feels acceptable
Lay your head down nice, and slow
Rest your head gently and leisurely
Do whatever, whatever you like
Engage in any action you desire
You're mine, you're mine
You belong to me
I see the light in you
I perceive the brightness within you
Together our skin bonded
Our skin united as one
We movin' as one
We are moving harmoniously
Through the storm
Despite the difficulties
Can you feel me on lonely nights
Do you sense my presence during solitary evenings?
That's not as warm
That lack the same level of warmth
While I'm stuck somewhere far as fuck
While I am trapped in a distant place
Work then I'm torn
Engaged in duties and then experiencing inner conflict
I make myself sick
I cause my own distress
I feel worried
I experience anxiety
I feel darkness
I sense a state of gloom
I hold you tight
I grasp you firmly
Said the stories of a hardship
Describing tales of struggle
Black fills the night
Darkness engulfs the nighttime
Please don't slip
Please do not make a mistake
The sun will come again
The daylight will return
