When asked about the meaning of...
[Verse 1]
I remember the rush
We were running, backyard to yard
Wasn't scared of going too far
Staying out till it was too dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Now daylight don't make it right
And you would really know this
Closed hearts make closed minds
I won't tell you it's all butterflies and roses
When I back in time
[Chorus]
When we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
There's not much comfort in this place
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe
When you can't fight the bitter taste
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe
[Verse 2]
Don't remember it all
But I know that I was invincible
Like the heroes in the cartoons
Saving lives through my living room
[Pre-Chorus]
Now daylight don't make it right
And you would really know this
Closed hearts make closed minds
I won't tell you it's all butterflies and roses
When I back in time
[Chorus]
When we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
There's not much comfort in this place
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe
When you can't fight the bitter taste
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe
[Bridge]
I know that I'm a fighter
Yeah, I've always been a fighter
But I tried to play with fire, and I got burned
Don't know how to help this
Yeah, I'm feeling kind of helpless
Yeah, maybe it's too selfish if it don't wanna hurt
I know that I'm a fighter
Yeah, always been a fighter
But I tried to play with fire and I got burned
Don't know how to help this
Yeah, I'm feelin' kinda of helpless
Yeah, maybe you so selfish if it don't wanna hurt
I know that I'm a fighter, yeah, I've always been a fighter
But I tried to play with fire, and I got burned
Don't know how to help this, yeah, I'm feelin' kinda helpless
Yeah, maybe it's too selfish if I don't wanna hurt
[Chorus]
There's not much comfort in this place
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe
When you can't fight the bitter taste
Ah-aha-aha-aha-aha, I'll keep you safe
Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Back then when we were ah-aha-aha-aha-aha safe
Safe was written by Laleh & Joel Little & Daya.
Safe was produced by Joel Little.
Daya commented why she decided to call the song “Safe” after the Las Vegas 2017 terrorist attacks:
“I was thinking how sad and crazy it is that these things happen so often now, they don’t even affect us the same way anymore, I wanted look at why we’re so numb and why we haven’t done more to stop t...
Daya told Teen Vogue :
I switch back and forth between feeling helpless and feeling like a very important part of the equation. I think in the moment I was writing the song, I felt powerless and frustrated and hurt and it was very much an unfiltered conversation with myself. But in the end our indi...
