Safe Here

LP's song 'Safe Here' delves into the complex emotions of seeking comfort amidst chaos and uncertainty. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of nights filled with endless activities and rule-bending, yet there's an underlying sense of isolation. The artist acknowledges the presence of friends and the non-stop nature of their adventures, but also reveals a feeling of being an island—alone and lost in thought. This duality sets the stage for a deeper exploration of emotional struggles and the search for a safe haven.

The chorus of the song is a plea for healing and reassurance. LP sings about wanting to feel cured and leave the past behind, but days filled with doubt and uncertainty always seem to find them. The repeated line 'I feel safe here' suggests that despite the turmoil, there is a place or state of mind where they find solace. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for finding comfort in familiar patterns, even if those patterns are not entirely healthy. The idea of opening a door and handling 'one more' indicates a willingness to face challenges, bolstered by the feeling of safety.

The song also touches on the struggle of loving a 'sinking feeling' and the difficulty of breaking free from it. The lyrics 'Crazy can be comfortable but, baby, that don't make it right' highlight the paradox of finding comfort in chaos. LP's raw and honest portrayal of their emotional landscape resonates with anyone who has felt trapped in a cycle of uncertainty and sought refuge in familiar, albeit flawed, places. The song's repetitive structure and haunting melody reinforce the cyclical nature of these emotions, making 'Safe Here' a poignant reflection on the human condition.
