Throughout late 2013 and early 2014, the band spent some time touring the west coast and western Canada. In 2014, they released their first 7" record entitled "The Tides". With the release of that record came the departure of 3 of its band members. After gaining 3 new members in late 2014, they began writing and planning for a new era of Safe and Sound.
In 2015, they began writing "Embers Still Remain", their second 7", which was released in early 2016. They continued touring the west coast, western Canada as well as Texas and released a music video for their song "Dream". The song and video has animal rights and vegan themes, which is a big part of the band's message. They released "Embers Still Remain", which was followed by a full U.S. tour. They plated the “Hope For Shelter” fest in San Antonio, Texas. By the end of 2016, a second pressing of "Embers Still Remain" was released and the band began writing new material.
Safe and Sound caught the eyes and ears of New Age Records staff at the “Standing Hard” fest 2016 and the gears were set in motion to work together. The band's first release will be out this summer on New Age Records.
The band released their first single with New Age in 2017 titled "Ashes Lie and Wait".
2018 brought Safe and Sound to Europe for their first tour over as well as hitting the stage at This Is Hardcore Fest. An extensive writing schedule brought them to their first full length release.
"Only in Death" hit stores on March 22nd. 2019.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Hold your ground
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You'll still be standing next to me
You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet underground
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Hold your ground
Safe and sound
I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck

The lyrics of “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities are a testament to the power of love and the sense of security it brings. The song begins with the assertion that the singer can lift the person they are addressing up and take them where they want to be. The singer promises to be that person’s luck and be with them through good times and bad, including in the face of sky falling down or a hurricane of frowns. Regardless of the circumstances, the singer assures that they will always be safe and sound.
The second verse reinforces the idea that the singer and their loved one will be safe and sound through any circumstances, including a tidal wave of mystery or even if they are six feet underground. The chorus repeats the comforting refrain that the pair is safe and sound and encourages them to hold their ground. The bridge finds the singer once again offering to lift up their beloved and take them where they want to go. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus.
Overall, “Safe and Sound” is a hopeful, reassuring song about love and the sense of security it brings. The lyrics give listeners a sense that, no matter what happens, there is someone they can count on to be there for them and weather any storm together.
