"Safe Forever" was the first single from Sound Shattering Sound, the debut album by Australian four-piece Gyroscope, and it arrived on 15 March 2004 with a video in tow. Singer Daniel Sanders says it grew out of Zoran Trivic's lead riff, and that he wrote the words about feeling content and lucky, in love and in life generally. Trivic says that no-nonsense intro riff and the hollow verses let them pull off the quiet-loud trick they had soaked up from too much grunge, and he called the song their tribute to At the Drive-In, praising how Sanders's and Brad Campbell's voices fit together.
Matt Weston's video won a Silver Australian Cinematographers Society Award in 2004, and the song reached number 65 on the Australian singles chart. The B-sides were an acoustic "Misery" and a live "Sharp Words" from Perth.
