Lullaby
Leo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleep tonight I want you there
Folded silence unaware
That it could break
Hearts in its wake
That swim to hold their hopeless fate

Sleep tonight I want you there
Arms around my naked stare
Into the sea
Of deep blue dreams
And if I swim
Will they rescue me

But we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now

Sleep tonight I want you there
Arms around my naked stare
Into the sea
Of deep blue dreams
And if I swim
Will they rescue me

But we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now

I guess we're safe for now
I guess we're safe for now




I guess we're safe for now
I guess we're safe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leo's song Lullaby seem to be an appeal to a lover to be present with the singer during the night as they fall asleep. The singer wants their partner's arms around them and to drift away into the sea of deep blue dreams. There is a sense of safety in this moment between the two lovers, as they feel protected from the world outside. However, there is also an underlying sense of sadness, as the singer acknowledges that the peaceful moment is fleeting and that the very act of falling asleep could break hearts in the morning. The final repeated lyrics of "I guess we're safe for now" seem to capture the precariousness of the moment, suggesting a fear that the safety might not last, and the uncertainty that comes with that.


Overall, Leo's Lullaby is a beautifully poetic song that explores the tension between safety and insecurity in a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for connection and protection while also recognizing the fragility of human relationships. It is a song that speaks to the complexity of love and the beauty and pain that come with it.
