safety net
KITCHEN - Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know you're really something, yeah
How we get here so damn fast?
Only you could tell me that
Baby, 'cause you know I'm coming back
You're making me forget my past
Never thought I'd feel like that again
I came to peace with my path
Now you got me off track

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Let your guard down, girl
You know we came too far now, girl
It's time for you to play your part now
You know, we hit that jewelry store and we gon' ball out
Ups and downs, we had some fall outs
Get some ice on you girl, let it thaw out
Girl, you're mine, it's safe to say
At the end of the day

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Every time you feel some way, feel the way
Never let me run away, run away
Baby, every time you feel some way, feel the way
Never let me run away, run away

Girl you got me tripping, falling with no safety net (baby)
Boy, it must be something that you said




Is it real this time or is it in my head? (Is it all in my head)
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Overall Meaning

In Ariana Grande's song "safety net," the lyrics explore the vulnerability and uncertainty that come with falling deeply in love. The song starts with the recognition that the person she is with is truly special and wonders how they got to this point so quickly. She acknowledges that only they can explain the intensity of their connection, and she assures them that she will always come back because they make her forget her past and bring her a sense of peace.


However, despite the comfort and happiness this person brings, Ariana admits that she has never felt so scared before. She grapples with whether she should fight to hold onto this love or let go and fly, but ultimately, she doesn't mind the emotional rollercoaster because the love is worth it. The line "tripping, falling with no safety net" represents the risks and uncertainties of being so deeply involved in a relationship where there are no guarantees of protection or safety.


The second verse brings a sense of reassurance. It urges Ariana to let her guard down and fully embrace the love they have built together. It emphasizes that they have come too far to turn back now. The jewelry store reference suggests that they have built a life together with material possessions, and now it's time for Ariana to fully commit and play her part. The ups and downs they have experienced in their relationship have made them stronger, and even though there have been rough patches, they always come back together. The line "at the end of the day" signifies that their love remains constant and secure.


Overall, "safety net" is a song that explores the fear, uncertainty, and ultimate acceptance of vulnerability that comes with deep love. It acknowledges the potential risks and challenges but emphasizes that the love they share is worth pursuing, despite not having a safety net.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

„Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
„He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
He will not stop there, for he will move at a pace which will astonish many and he will negotiate peace agreements in many war-torn nations.“
"He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."
