Safe Without Lyrics

Cover art for Safe Without lyrics by Interpol

My guess is that he's "Safe Without" the other person's advice/suggestions, and he's tired of hearing what they have to tell him and molding to what they want.

I'm not the hero out the gates: nobody is perfect

So much to feel so much to gain: you have to experience things for yourself

My higher reason will take aim: I can judge and decide for myself

I'll be ok I've got my shapes: I know what is right and wrong for me

We are not alone we share our stake: There's other stuff out there to behold

I think the winter will be wonderful: I look forward to something new, something different, change

I like what Black mantis says best. I'm not sure what i think this song means though. I feel with it though. I am safe without it is such a powerful statement and it resonates deeply with me. I am safe without a lot of things. my mother's overprotectiveness. This fucking town. without my body or mind or heart. in other ways cigarettes. I look forward to seeing something new is the part that strikes the deepest as i have been for years to the point that it's wearing on me and this song feels like the release...
