About this track
“Safe Distance” describes what it’s like to never have a quiet moment between tension and breaking. No where you can escape the shockwave that’s always coming.
Lyrics
It's been so many years
But I think you finally see
The rot is here
Draped across this moment
You say nobody's here
That cares about
If you live or die
I say nobody was there
That cares about
If I burned alive
Caught in the shockwave
There's no safe distance
Always in harms way
You learn to breathe the dust
You learn to bleed the rust
Home couldn't be a safe space
Even in the memories we made
Still fire if its burning slow
Still fire if its burning slow
Doesn't matter how far I go
Still caught in the undertow
Still fire if its burning slow
Still fire if its burning slow
[Spoken]
Have you ever had one of those memories that you fall into so completely that you get trapped there and it just erases everything you've done since? That's kind of how I think about this place sometimes. Somewhere between the dust and the ash...
Somewhere between the flame
And where I call home
The dust is waiting
Though I tried to walk away
There's still no safe distance here
Even in the shockwave I am breathing
Just trying to hold my shape
Even in the undertow
I'm trying to swim away
Home couldn't be a safe space
Even in the memories we made
Still fire if its burning slow
Still fire if its burning slow
Doesn't matter how far I go
Still caught in the undertow
Still fire if its burning slow
Still fire if its burning slow
