Everything Will Be Okay


 Author's Note: I wrote this piece, based soley on my emotions, what I felt while I listened to and read the lyrics of Taylor Swift's Safe and Sound.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Read through these lyrics. What do they mean to you? What do you think Taylor Swift  was trying to portray when she wrote this song? This song, Safe and Sound, is my new obsession, because it has the most emotion in a song that has ever been written. It is about a girl who is talking to the guy that she is in love with, and they are promising each other that they will stay together no matter what happens, because they can’t live without the other person. As they promise each other this, they are sitting inside a shelter, while outside their door a war is going on. When they wake up in the morning everything will be over, and they will be safe and sound. The first time I heard this song I almost cried, because of all of the emotions I felt when I was listening.  almost cried because it was if I were the characters in the song, and it was me in the situation not someone else. This song means a lot to me, because it really makes me feel like if I just believe in myself and someone who tells me that I can trust them, that I really will be safe and sound.
