Just When You Thought It Was Safe

Liner Notes

#alternative #alternativerock

The song emerged from the verse riff and progressed from there, it’s probably a bit high for me to sing, learning it as we went along. I think the first verse has a different voicing to the second voice which isn’t ideal.

The story I was working with was of someone hesitant to leave their comfortable home. They have a dream that someone is destroying their house from the inside and forcing them outside.

Thoughts and feelings from the recent horror film The Heretic were on my mind - not directly influencing, but lurking in the background, gently stroking the path of the song.

Lyrics

You sit inside and spend the whole day trying to find your way outside
Through your door the sounds implore you to explore
A timid roar heard from the top floor

Your nails dig deeper into the plush interior
you chose from the store
A calm sensation
As noise from the station
Shakes the ground around
Foundations found

Clouds here
Parted
The night never started
Hang your coat
On a golden rope
That Means you could never leave

When the walls come caving in
It’s not the words your missing
It’s the sky you’re kissing at last
When the walls come caving in
It’s not the sky that’s falling
Not the sky that’s falling in on you

Sift through the wreckage
Searching for a message
help it all make sense
Your neighbours stressing
That without their blessing
shared the whole contents
Of your open essence,

Clip your
Own wings
The day it is starting
Our lives are made
From an unread page
The innocence of thieves

When the walls come caving in
It’s not the words your missing
It’s the sky you’re kissing at last
When the walls come caving in
It’s not the sky that’s falling
Not the sky that’s falling in on you

Just when you thought it was safe to invite another
Just when you thought it was safe
