The lyrics of High Tyde's song "Safe" reflect the excitement of youth and the desire to have fun without worrying about consequences. The song starts with a nostalgic reflection on the past, when the band members "started off hanging out and getting drunk" and "getting in so much trouble." However, now that they are older and perhaps wiser, they appreciate those experiences as making their lives more fun.
Despite the acknowledgement that they used to cause trouble, the lyrics suggest that the blame shouldn't fall on them, as they "never give up" on what they want. The refrain "so let this go now" implies that the band is ready to move on from past mistakes and focus on the present.
The second verse of the song is directed towards a woman who the singer has a complicated relationship with. He alludes to the fact that they have been intimate in the past, but claims that he "can't even read [her] pages" when he talks to her. He encourages her to let go of the past ("F all that stuff before"), and implies that she will not be rewarded with his attention if she continues to hold on to it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Safe" are about enjoying life in the moment, without letting regrets or past mistakes hold you back. The song encourages listeners to let go of the past and embrace the present, and reflects a youthful enthusiasm for life.
