"Safe and Sound" by Rebelution is a love song that celebrates good vibes and a carefree atmosphere. The song features two voices, one male and one female, and it’s written in a question-and-answer format. The song begins with the male voice asking if the kind of sound and vibe that the female voice is sharing with him is what she wants him to hear and feel. He affirms that he’s not someone to be feared and is all about allowing her to have her freedom, while still being open to being near her. The female voice responds by echoing the chorus back to him and adding that she’s all about his melody and dance steps. She, too, likes the sound and vibe that the male voice is putting out.

The lyrics emphasize the idea of getting lost in the moment and enjoying the time spent together. The two voices are both open to having a good time and are hoping to leave behind any problems that they may have been facing. They want to make time for each other, even if it means making a quick getaway from reality. The song ends with the idea of coming down from their high with the reassurance that they’ll be “dreaming safe and sound”. Overall, the song expresses a desire for a safe and happy love, one that allows them to be themselves and enjoy what they have with each other.
