Drummer Sam Loeffler has stated in an interview that the inspiration behind “Saferwaters” was the situation with brother and bassist Joe Loeffler leaving the band.
[Verse 1]
This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows
Why he'd roll the eyes back
Why he'd roll those eyes, those heartless eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I won't pretend to lie
Once more protect my blinded sight
You'd say for I came from a fish
You mock the place where I exist
[Chorus]
That world is calling, so I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that
Held us, with that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters
[Verse 2]
Still learning what chaos kills
But whoever cares
Nobody cares, like you do
Why we'd abandon time, just shut the door
Why we come to the wall, claim less is more
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I won't pretend to lie
Once more protect my blinded sight
You'd say for I came from a fish
You mock the place where I exist
[Chorus x2]
That world is calling
So I'm crawling back to sea
Against the surge of waves that held us
With that ancient grip beneath
Retreat to safer waters
[Outro]
This city's saving grace
But whoever knows, nobody knows
