Kyosuke Himuro feat. Gerard Way - Safe and Sound

Safe and Sound

"Safe and Sound" is a new ending theme created for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. It is sung by Kyosuke Himuro, who performed the original theme song, "CALLING", and Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance fame. The song was composed by Way who also wrote the lyrics, and was arranged by Himuro. Drums are performed by Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails), bass is done by Dan Rothchild, and guitar by Tim Pierce.

Oddly enough, the song was only used in the Japanese release of Advent Children Complete, with all international versions using the original "Calling" theme, even though "Safe and Sound" is presented in English, whereas "Calling" is presented in Japanese.

A part of the song was used in the second trailer for Advent Children Complete.

The song has been available on iTunes since April 29th 2010. It was released on the Bang The Beat/Safe and Sound single.

Lyrics[]

The following lyrics were taken from the track on Spotify.[1]

And all my hopes and dreams
Aren't for anyone
I keep them safe and sound
And all these victories
Not yours anymore
But can you hear me now?
The dead stop dreaming
I'll set ablaze this life
Your shadow keeps me bright
So try and stop me
Or suffocate this light
'Cuz I can burn all night
Until my heart stops beating
You'll never hear me say
I'm backing down
If I say, it's lost it's meaning
If I can't find my way
It's over now
But I won't walk away
'Til the day (Whoa, whoa)
Never backing down (Whoa, whoa)
And hear me say (Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and
This hopeless feeling
This fear of falling down
But I'm not crashing now
For all this bleeding
It wasn't worth the sound
A million screaming out
And still
The earth comes reeling
The curtain calls my name
I'm not afraid
And I know
You may not miss me
But I am not ashamed
The choice I've made
But I can't let this go
'Til the day (Whoa, whoa)
I'm never backing down (Whoa, whoa)
Just hear me say (Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and
Like a crashing car
Or a dying star
That's racing to the ground
Like the final words
Of the passengers
When the engine's giving out
Will the world
Watch us burn?
Until the day (Whoa, whoa)
I'm never backing down (Whoa, whoa)
Just hear me say (Whoa, whoa)
I'll keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound (Whoa, whoa)
Keep it safe and sound
