This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Now that you're here
It seems every one of us seems to take the wrong way home
Now that you're safe with me
Trying to get a handle on the name of love
Safe and sound
So safe for now
You're safe and sound
So safe for now
Safe and sound
So safe for now
We're safe and sound
So safe for now
How does it taste to when you're screaming away your loved man
Doctor said, "son, you should carry a gun, all right?"
But it's the way that you talk
And it's the way that you move
Gravity's one thing
And gravity's something
But how's about coming down
It's a time and place in which to be alone
But lately it just don't seem so alone
You're no good night, oh right
Your other plane is skipping on, you must get flown
Safe and sound
So safe for now
You're safe and sound
So safe for now
Safe and sound
So safe for now
We're safe and sound
So safe ah, ah
Here, watch your back from here
It seems every one of us seems to take the wrong way home
Now that you're safe with me
Trying to get a handle on the name of love
Safe and sound
So safe for now
You're safe and sound
So safe for now
Safe and sound
So safe for now
We're safe and sound
So safe for now
How does it taste to when you're screaming away your loved man
Doctor said, "son, you should carry a gun, all right?"
But it's the way that you talk
And it's the way that you move
Gravity's one thing
And gravity's something
But how's about coming down
It's a time and place in which to be alone
But lately it just don't seem so alone
You're no good night, oh right
Your other plane is skipping on, you must get flown
Safe and sound
So safe for now
You're safe and sound
So safe for now
Safe and sound
So safe for now
We're safe and sound
So safe ah, ah
Here, watch your back from here

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Ok, I'll comment because you seem like you really want someone to, but I don't really know what the song's about. I think the abuse interpretation is a bit of a stretch. Nowhere in the song does it say that the person is reluctant to go home, it just says, "Every one of us seems to take the wrong way home." I think that line is basically saying that everyone wants the same things in life (happiness, satisfaction etc.) but they don't know how to get them. I do agree with your interpretation of the parts about gravity, "how about coming down," and "your elevator..." I think it is trying to say that the person is avoiding reality, living in some sort of fantasy land, isolating themselves, and the speaker thinks it's "no good" when they're "not around" (in their own little world). There's a time and place to be alone, but you can't do that all the time. The safe and sound part also fits in with that because when people just stay in their security zone all the time it seems like everything is fine but really there is a claustrophobia involved, it's like you're trapping yourself. I think that's why the song, and the lines "safe and sound" in particular sound so doomy and gloomy - not what you'd expect from a love song. I also like your insights on the title. I never thought of it like he already tried to communicate this to her six times. That explains further why he sounds so demoralized. I like this song, it's great.
