Safe And Sound
Jayesslee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember tears streaming down your face when I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
Oooooo, OoooOooo,
La La (La La)
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright




Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound

Overall Meaning

The song "Safe and Sound" by Jayesslee is a comforting song that tells the story of protection, love, and a hope for the future. The song begins with the memory of the singer and the person she loves, who was once hurt by the darkness and shadows, where she vowed to never let go of the other person. The song describes the shadows almost extinguishing the light, but the two of them persevered through it, and now everything that was "dead and gone" has "passed tonight."


The chorus of the song exudes protection and comfort as it tells the person to close their eyes as the sun is going down. This imagery suggests that darkness and uncertainty seem to be arising but coaxes the person to trust that they will be okay. The song emphasizes that no one can hurt the person, and come morning light, they will have survived the night and be safe and sound. The song continues to draw on this idea of comfort and protection as the verse describes the war outside the door and how everything is on fire. The person is told to hold onto the lullaby even when the music has gone. The song then ends with the same reassuring message as the chorus about closing their eyes, and they will be safe until the morning light comes.

Time flies so fast! It feels like just yesterday that I was 12 years old and discovering your videos for the first time. Now, at the age of 20, I've rediscovered your channel and I'm experiencing that same amazing feeling of eargasm all over again. It's like a blast from the past. 💙

I Love taylor.. but there is really no comparison. This version is far softer, sweeter and hauntingly enchanting.  
Your voices are beautiful. I really enjoy your covers ^^
