Safe Passage Lyrics
well everybody i know
has one good chance to die
to be swallowed whole by the big blue empty sky
feel the heavens stare
with a cold hard look in it's eyes
to hear the sound of something awful on the rise
so pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
you know that nobody in this room
wants to hear you cry
and if nobody goes for help
baby you're gonna die
it came and went so fast
you'd almost thought you'd missed
a chance to shake your head and say
how did it come to this
pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by the sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
we sold our souls
we sold our souls
has one good chance to die
to be swallowed whole by the big blue empty sky
feel the heavens stare
with a cold hard look in it's eyes
to hear the sound of something awful on the rise
so pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
you know that nobody in this room
wants to hear you cry
and if nobody goes for help
baby you're gonna die
it came and went so fast
you'd almost thought you'd missed
a chance to shake your head and say
how did it come to this
pray for safe passage through the night
you'll be humbled by the sounds of daylight
and this is an endless search
to find how much is enough
this could be so much worse
but we sold our souls for gold
we sold our souls
we sold our souls

this is almost like rape zombie part2..but from the point of view from a different frame of mind, if that makes any sense

I don't think so... Great song though. I'm not sure what it means...
i agree with No One Really because the songs are similar. a lot of the songs on this album talk about drugs and partying. this one is basically the story of someone being on the verge of an OD and everybody else being too high or selfish to care. The person is afraid they're going to die so they "pray for safe passage through the night" and hope that they survive until morning. It seems like this might be an experience that would change the person's drug habits and lead them to living healthier and taking care of themselves, but Matt calls the addiction an "endless search" and it doesn't seem like there is much chance for change or improvement because they sold their souls to their addictions.
rape zombie is more about creeps who drug women in bars or wait for them to get extremely drunk so they can date rape them (eventually leading to a girl dying in the song) but it's also about how the women choose to drink and act really loose... atleast it felt that way when i saw them on warped tour. Matt introduced the song by talking about how "Their are zombies in this world, and those zombies are looooose" something to that effect...
