Safe And Sound
Hablot Brown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait
Thought I told you to wait dear
Hey
When you close your eyes dear
Play
Late again straight out of fear
And know I won′t even shed a single tear
Wondering how

We wrote down
A thousand songs
Bout the way that we went wrong
And I'm allowed to have broke down
I′m safe and sound on this hollow ground
Wondering how
We wrote down
A thousand songs
Bout the way that we went wrong

And I'm allowed to have broke down
I'm safe and sound on this hollow ground

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Hablot Brown's song "Safe and Sound" speak directly to the listener or the subject of the song. The singer is urging someone to wait, as they are late again out of fear. Despite this, the singer is unmoved and will not shed a single tear. The second verse has a nostalgic tone to it, discussing how the subject of the song and the singer wrote a plethora of songs reflecting on their past relationship and how it went wrong. Despite the past failures, the singer asserts that they are allowed to have a breakdown, but they are still safe and sound on the hollow ground they stand on.

Overall, the song seems to be about someone who is in a toxic or failed relationship. The references to being late out of fear and writing songs about the wrongs in the relationship make it seem like the person being addressed in the song is struggling with some sort of anxiety or guilt about the failure of the relationship. The singer seems to be taking a more stoic approach, refusing to be upset about the situation or lament the past.
