SAFE TO LAND

Safe To Land

Getting tired from all this circling
Not much grace left on a broken wing
I feel the wind trying to push me down
It happens every time I get to town

I search for shelter near the mines we swept
I guess forgiveness hasn’t happened yet
There are no words that I can say to you
That turn this careless sky from black to blue
So I’m asking you is it safe? Is it safe to land?
‘Cuz I’m not going far on an empty heart
Is it safe? Is it safe to land? It’s the long fall back to earth is the hardest part

I’m in no weather for apologies
I need your runway lights to burn for me
And if you say that I can come around
I’ll love you right, yea I won’t let you down, I won’t let you down

‘Cause I’m coming home, if these wheels touch down
I’m coming home I’m waking you up in the middle of the night I’m not giving up
I’m gonna stay ‘til we make it work
We’re not going down even if it gets worse
We’ll work it out. Yeah we’ll work it out.
I need light to guide me in
Oh, Yeah is it safe?


Tradução


Getting tired from all this circling (Estou ficando cansado de tanto rodear)
Not much grace left on a broken wing (não há mais tanta graça em uma asa quebrada)
I feel the wind trying to push me down (sinto o vento tentanto me derrubar)
It happens every time I get to town (isso acontece sempre que chego à cidade)

I search for shelter near the mines we swept (Procuro por abrigo próximo das minas que escavamos)
I guess forgiveness hasn’t happened yet (acho que o perdão ainda não aconteceu)
There are no words that I can say to you (não tenho palavras que eu possa lhe dizer)
To turn this careless sky from black to blue (que tornem estes céus indiferentes e escuros em um céu azul)
So I’m asking you (portanto eu lhe pergunto)
Is it safe, is it safe to land? (É seguro, é seguro aterrissar?)
‘Cause I’m not going far on an empty heart (pois não irei longe com um coração vazio)
Is it safe, is it safe to land? (é seguro, é seguro aterrissar?)
‘Cause the long fall back to earth is the hardest part (pois o longo retorno à terra é a parte mais difícil)

I’m in no weather for apology (O clima não está para desculpas)
I need your runway lights to burn for me (Preciso que suas luzes na pista se acendam para mim)
And if you say that I can come around (e se você disser que eu posso me aproximar)
I’ll love you right, I won’t let you down (amarei você da maneira correta, sim, não vou lhe decepcionar)

I won’t let you down (Não vou lhe decepcionar)
‘Cause I’m coming home, if these wheels touch down (Pois estou voltando para casa, se essas rodas tocarem o chão)
I’m coming home, i’m waking you up (Estou voltando para casa, eu vou te acordar)
In the middle of the night, I’m not giving up (no meio da noite, não vou desistir)
I’m gonna stay, till we make it work (Ficarei até conseguirmos acertar)
We’re not going down even if it gets worse (Não afundaremos mesmo que a situação fique pior)
We’ll work it out, yeah, we’ll work it out (Daremos um jeito nisso, sim, daremos um jeito nisso)
I need your light, guide me in (preciso de sua luz, para me guiar)
Is it safe? (É seguro?)

Sobre a Letra:

Dan Haseltine: “Muitas bandas escrevem músicas sobre estradas -- como a música ‘Faithfully’ do Journey -- sobre como é sentir falta da família quando se está na estrada -- mas ninguém escreve canções sobre como é voltar para casa depois de estar na estrada e tentar reconectar-se com sua família. Uma das partes mais difíceis de se viajar como artista é que, se você é casado e tem família, você acaba criando esses mundos diferentes. Você tem que criar, pois sua família tem que prosseguir e continuar a viver enquanto se está fora e você tem que encontrar uma forma de existir, enquanto está longe de sua familia. Então quanto se reencontram, parece ser um quebra-cabeca totalmente novo, tentar entender como você se encaixa com os demais. Portanto, essa musica faz esse tipo de pergunta, "Como você reconquista sua estabilidade como família, depois de tanto tempo separados?"

HEADPHONES

Headphones

I don’t have to hear it, if I don’t want to
I can drown this out, pull the curtains down on you
It’s a heavy world, it’s too much for me to care
If I close my eyes, it’s not there

With my headphones on, with my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

We watch television...but the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt
I take in the war-fires, and I’m chilled by the current events
It’s so hopeless, but there’s a pop song in my

Headphones on, in my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on

At the Tube Stop, you sit down across from me
(I can see you looking back at me)
I think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
I want to tell you (It’s a heavy world)
Everything will be okay
You wouldn’t hear it (I donÂ’t want to have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways…

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
I don’t wanna be the one who tries to figure it out
I don’t need another reason I should care about you
You don’t want to know my story
You don’t want to own my pain
Living in a heavy, heavy world
And there’s a pop song in my head
I don’t want to have to hear it

WEAPONS

Weapons

Hallelujah, we can finally hear
It's a miracle we feel anything at all
Things we planted on the worst days of the year
Grew to fingers that rip at the joy
And set our backs against the wall.

Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There are no enemies in front of you.

Hallelujah, we can finally see
How the bitterness was bruising on our skin
We didn't notice that grace had run so thin
Till we're falling apart and the cracks in our hearts let the truth sink in.

HERO

Hero

One spot on an empty canvas
One chair in an empty room
No place for a revolution
No hope if the signs are true

We stand at the edge of something
Will we ever know what it is
Hold on 'cause the wind is rising
And we can't get away from it

We’re in shock from the failed emotion
No cause in a shadow land
We sing while the city's burning
No room, no escape, no plan
We all never thought it would end this way

And we need a hero
To save us from ourselves
We need a hero
To save us from ourselves

Save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

We hide on our knees in silence
Maybe God doesn't hear at all
And the wait overtakes the violence
And we watch as the giants fall
We're not gonna let it end this way

DON'T STOP

Don't Stop

You told them that I hung the moon
It was a lonely sliver hanging from the sky
I said I put it there for you
I didn’t think that it would make you cry

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now

My recurring dream of you
Starlight in your eyes and music everywhere
I am dancing close to you
There are no days or nights we’ve left behind

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
When you’re running, you’re running far away
And you don’t know what to do with all my love
Don’t stop for me now

Why is it so hard to say that you need me
The way that I need you

There are no days, there are no nights, we’ve left them all behind
And you can run so far that I won’t reach
There are no places I won’t find you

Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
You keep running, yeah you’re running far away
When all I want to do is be with you my love
You can run so far, run so far, my love
By the light of the moon I will get to you somehow
So don’t stop for me now
