Page 1: Safe and sound   first reaction to lyrics

I remember tears streaming down your faceWhen I said, "I'll never let you go"When all those shadows almost killed your lightI remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyesThe sun is going downYou'll be alrightNo one can hurt you nowCome morning lightYou and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,Everything's on fireThe war outside our door keeps raging onHold on to this lullabyEven when music's goneGone

The fact that Taylor is outside may be referring to the ‘war’ – always lonely so where is everyone else?

Feeling of loss, sadness.

Referring to the lullaby that is used in The Hunger Games films

Isolation

Protective over something/someone

Talking about the film (Rue dying)

Starts song on a personal level

Overwhelming darkness killed someone's personality (?)

Metaphor for something killing off something/someone beautiful/ everything is slowly dying?

Page 2: Safe and sound   first reaction to lyrics

Just close your eyesThe sun is going down

You'll be alrightNo one can hurt you now

Come morning lightYou and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyesYou'll be alright

Come morning light,You and I'll be safe and sound...

Why the video is mostly in a low key lighting?

Contrast of the video being half filmed in a cemetery and the rest in a house with the fire on

Once the darkness has passed everything will be okay and “safe”

Who/what was trying to hurt the person Taylor is referring to?
