Why Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard turned inward on ‘Skinwalker’
Tom Rees’s second album moved from the public arguments of ‘Backhand Deals’ towards alienation, self-doubt and the complicated release of asking for help.
About This Track
'Safe' by David Bowie is a 2002 track from the album 'I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002-2016)'. The lyrics sit in a claustrophobic mood, with a speaker pressed against the cold and watching time edge forward, worrying about what comes next. A sense of fragility underpins the refrain, as the idea of being “Safe in this skyline” is treated like a temporary shelter rather than a lasting certainty. The writing balances bleak physical imagery with anxious futurity, then steadies itself in the promise of height and distance.
"Safe" is a track by David Bowie, from the album I Can’t Give Everything Away (2002-2016), released 11th June 2002. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about David Bowie.
