Safe and Sound
Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 on to this lullaby
Even when 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
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.
In Sabrina Carpenter's song Safe and Sound, the singer reminisces about a time when someone she cared for deeply was going through a difficult and dark time. The first verse describes how the person was overwhelmed and brought to tears, but the singer promised to never leave them alone. The chorus is a soothing message of hope, telling the person to close their eyes and assuring them that everything will be okay. The second verse paints a picture of chaos and danger, perhaps alluding to the struggles of the world outside or a personal situation. The singer urges the person to hold onto the lullaby - a metaphor for the comfort and safety the singer provides. The repetition of "Oooh" and "La La" in the bridge increase the emotional impact of the song, reinforcing the idea that the singer is providing a protective and calming presence.

I remember tears streaming down your face
I recall seeing tears on your cheeks when I told you I would never leave you.
When I said, 'I'll never let you go'
At that moment, I made a promise that I would never abandon you.
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember the times when dark thoughts threatened to extinguish your hope and optimism.
I remember you said, 'Don't leave me here alone'
Your words echoed in my mind every time I felt like walking away from you.
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Those painful experiences are now distant memories and have no power over us anymore.
Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
The outside world is chaotic and unsafe, and it's better if we don't pay attention to it.
Everything's on fire
The turmoil out there is everywhere and everything seems to be burning down.
The war outside our door keeps raging on
The strife we have witnessed is constant and never-ending and it's best to stay inside where it's safe.
Hold on to this lullaby
Continue to listen to my words of comfort and let it soothe you.
Even when music's gone, gone
Let my words stay with you even when everything else fades away.
Just close your eyes
Shut out the world outside and focus on this moment right here and now.
The sun is going down
The day is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean that anything bad is going to happen.
You'll be alright
There is no need to worry, you will be safe with me.
No one can hurt you now
I'll make sure that no harm befalls you while you're with me.
Come morning light
When the dawn arrives, everything will be alright.
You and I'll be safe and sound
We will face whatever challenges come our way together and emerge unscathed.

as a Taylor Stan can we say Sabrina is an amazing singer w/ out saying tearing down a fellow singer? Sabrina did sing this really well though
edit: guys i was like an actual child when i commented this HELP idk why i thought taylor was gonna see these comments and be devastated
@catrice1296
No kidding. I love both their versions bc they give off different vibes. Taylors version makes the hairs on my body stand up like an electrifying feeling while sabrinas is kinda a bit more like soothing and easygoing, and bc of that i listen to both. Tearing people down rlly isn’t necessary.
