Safe Haven
Greywind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daunting a slow and cold collapse
I hear you here in my own safe haven
But there's no one
Chasing your ghost, I sought solace
Chasing your ghost, no words could atone
What if they could?
A safe place
Walking through snow, I looked back
Wanting to know
I thought that I'd see you here in my own safe haven, there's no one here
There's no one
Chasing your ghost, I sought solace
Chasing your ghost, no words could atone
What if they could?
I know a place, a safe place
A safe place
I died
Chasing your ghost, I sought solace
Chasing your ghost, no words could atone
What if they could?
I know a place, a safe place
A safe place
In Greywind’s song Safe Haven, the lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the absence of another person. The reference to walking through snow indicates a difficult and cold journey, perhaps in reference to the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing. The idea of a "slow and cold collapse" suggests a gradual and painful breakdown, again due to the absence of the other person. Despite this, the singer finds some solace in the notion of a safe haven - a place which can offer refuge and protection from the outside world.
The second verse confirms the idea that the singer is chasing after the ghost of the other person, trying to find some kind of solace but not finding it. The repetition of "chasing your ghost" emphasizes a sense of desperation and futility. However, the chorus promises that there is a safe place out there somewhere, one that can offer sanctuary and calm in the midst of turmoil. The final line of the song, "I died," adds a powerful emotional punch, suggesting that the singer has truly suffered through this experience of loss and heartbreak.
Overall, Safe Haven is a poignant and moving song that speaks to the universal experience of missing someone who has left our lives. Its lyrics capture a deeply human sense of pain and longing, while also offering a glimmer of hope in the form of a safe haven.
