Songfacts®:

  • This song is about a misanthrope who strives to distance himself from humanity. Said lead Singer Pete Loeffler: The guy is really sick of being a part of the human race, so he says he's crawling back to sea. It's taking an evolutionary mindset. He can't stand being on the earth, so he's basically going back home to the water. >>>

  • J.j. from AzDefinitely one my favorite songs and albums. HATED the album at first but I paid $20 at Sam Goody at the mall so I forced listened every song through the album. 2nd go around was amazing. How they change through the years. Lyrics are always mysterious but put together well... Chevelles pepper cuts on all albums is what hooked me for life. One of the most underrated and underpaid groups with how popular they were in the beginning.
  • Carl from Payson AzAbsolutely love this song...and album... Thank you Chevelle!!!
  • Marina from Denver, CoThis is my least favorite album of theirs, but they're my favorite band too, so it's still better than everything else out there.
    I never would have guessed that Saferwaters is about a misanthrope. I guess I can make this my anthem, then.
  • Jon from Enumclaw , WaI really love this song and album it's chevelle's best album at least to me.
