In the opening stanza of “Safe And Sound,” some feel that this is Katniss signing to her younger sister Primrose promising to protect her from from harm and telling her that no matter what she will protect her. This has already been established since Katniss has taken the place of her younger sister in the games.
Others feel that the song is sung to Peeta since Katniss joins forces with him during the games and actually cares for him and nurses him back to health from near death in the movie. You could say it’s a song of undying love that will always persevere and survive no matter what might happen.
And lastly, many feel that the song is what Katniss sings to the character Rue as she dies. Katniss developed a brief allegiance with Rue during the games and is stricken with sadness when Rue is killed before her.
