Music Monday: SAFE By New Medicine

Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. Bjørn and I will pick a song alternatively on each Monday and share our thoughts about them. Timy’s pick this week is SAFE by New Medicine.

New Medicine is one of those bands that kind of snuck up on me over the years. Their music has been popping up on my playlist since 2020 at least (they just came out of a long hiatus at the time). They just released an album this year – a double one at that! Seems like they collected their singles from the past 5 years and also added a lot of new ones, much to my enjoyment.

SAFE is one of the new ones, and I instantly connected with it when I first heard it. And I think anyone who has anxiety will feel the same. I also added it to my WIP’s playlist as I’m pretty sure Damien can relate as well. I wonder why that might be…

Wish that I could stop and take a breath
But I’m too busy being fucking stressed
Thinking everything good thing will fall apart
How’d I even get this far?

Always waiting on the other shoe to drop
Whether what I’m feeling’s even’s true or not
Paranoia’s got me against the ropes
Crushing my dreams and my hopes

I just wanna feel
Safe
Safe
Wish I that I could give my heart a
Break
The truth is my anxiety’s been whispering to my brain
Don’t you go get comfortable, it all could go away
That’s why I never ever feel
Safe
Safe

Wish that I could stop
Thinking bout worst case scenario
Why’s it always where my stupid mind goes
Yeah I know
I spiral
I spiral
It’s an irrational fear
It’ll all disappear
Day after day after day

Safe to trust
Safe to breathe
Safe from future misery
So I can stop running
Armageddon’s not coming

It’s why I never feel safe
Wish that I could have a little faith
The truth is my anxiety’s been whispering to my brain
Don’t you go get comfortable, it all could go away
Safe
Safe
Safe
Safe
