“Safehouse” is an intense alternative rock song with hip-hop influences. It’s an emotional and vulnerable track that captures the grief and pain of surviving a life-threatening event. The song describes the situation as an apocalypse from which they are trying to run. Even as they flee the chaos, they don’t know if they are completely safe. The repeated line “tell me that we’re safe now” indicates their desperation for reassurance that everything will be okay. Toward the end of the track, the artists cry out for rain as they exclaim “it’s getting harder to breathe here.” Rainfall is their last hope to bring the burning to an end. However, there is nothing they can do except leave their home behind and watch it burn.
