Capital Cities – Safe and Sound Lyrics 11 years ago
No matter how I look at it, the lyrics seem to be speaking of a holy or spiritual belief. I hear the verses as the holy entity promising his people: "I will raise you up...", "I could show you love...", etc. The chorus seems to me like the followers' response, feeling protected no mater what the situation is, including "... even if we're six feet underground, I know that we'll be safe and sound..."

Of Monsters And Men – Mountain Sound Lyrics 11 years ago
In my opinion, it's about someone that realizes that he has entire future in front of him. He plans to get away from his mistakes and move forward with his life. On that road to moving on there's times when one has to fight for themselves, and in that sense finding themselves.
While others are wondering why he's in such a hurry, he believes there wasting their lives "sleeping till the sun goes down" while he wants to venture off, to where his future will take him "deep into the mountain sound".
While he's searching and creating his own path he meets other people with their own set of "scars and scratches. He realizes that everybody truly has their own journey and even "we" are nothing like the rest.
The rest of the song, the repetition, everything, represents traveling on and moving forward; to never falter on your path. No matter how many times he's questioned, he sticks to his story and pushes on forward.
