Safe And Sound
Maya Isacowitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As it brushes right over my cheek
See the haze
As it covers my eyes
Feel my body's intention
No mind can destroy
As it rises and leaves me numb
Feel it all coming down
As I stand in the way
And I'm lost on the ground
I know I am safe and sound
As I catch myself dreaming
Your eyes in my mind
I know I am safe and sound
Feel my body's intentions
No mind can destroy
As it rises and leaves me numb
Feel the wind as it's blowing
I soon will be going
On my own
As I stand in the crowd
And I take in the sounds
And I feel myself going higher
Feel it all coming down
Feel it all coming down
As I stand in the way
And I'm lost on the ground
I know I am safe and sound
As I catch myself dreaming
Your eyes in my mind
I know I am safe and sound
The song Safe and Sound by Maya Isacowitz is an uplifting melody that talks about feeling safe and protected in times of insecurity and confusion. The lyrics are a beautiful portrayal of how one can find solace in their body and mind when everything around them is collapsing. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of it, as the singer talks about feeling the wind brushing right over her cheeks and the haze covering her eyes. These could be metaphors for the confusion and chaos that she is feeling inside, making it impossible to think straight.
The next set of lines, "Feel my body's intention, no mind can destroy, as it rises and leaves me numb," hints at how the singer is relying on her instincts to guide her through difficult times. She trusts that her body knows what to do even when her mind is filled with endless thoughts and worries. The chorus of the song talks about feeling safe and sound even when standing in the way, lost on the ground. The singer finds comfort in her dreams and the memory of her lover's eyes in her mind. She knows that despite everything, she is safe and sound with him/her.
Overall, the song is a beautiful reminder of the power we all possess within ourselves, and how we can find comfort even in the most challenging of times. It encourages listeners to trust their instincts and embrace their vulnerability, knowing that they are safe and sound with someone they love.

Feel the wind
Experience the gentle movement of the air on my skin
As it brushes right over my cheek
As the wind flows across my face
See the haze
Observe the fog or mist in the air
As it covers my eyes
As it obscures my vision
Feel my body's intention
Be aware of my physical impulses or desires
No mind can destroy
These impulses are impervious to mental disturbances
As it rises and leaves me numb
As these impulses build up and make me feel numb
As I stand in the way
As I block the path or hinder progress
And I'm lost on the ground
And I feel confused or disoriented
I know I am safe and sound
I'm secure and unharmed in my current state
As I catch myself dreaming
As I realize I'm lost in thought
Your eyes in my mind
Your image is on my thoughts
I know I am safe and sound
I'm secure and unharmed when I think of you
Feel the wind as it's blowing
Experience the flow of the air in motion
I soon will be going
I'll be leaving shortly
On my own
By myself or unaccompanied
As I stand in the crowd
As I'm surrounded by many people
And I take in the sounds
And I hear the noises around me
And I feel myself going higher
And I sense that I'm ascending or rising
Feel it all coming down
Sensing that something is about to crumble
As I stand in the way
As I block the path or hinder progress
And I'm lost on the ground
And I feel confused or disoriented
I know I am safe and sound
I'm secure and unharmed in my current state
As I catch myself dreaming
As I realize I'm lost in thought
Your eyes in my mind
Your image is on my thoughts
I know I am safe and sound
I'm secure and unharmed when I think of you
