Sanctuary
Finding Solace Beyond Chaos: Sanctuary in Despair
Lyrics
I'm treading water
Feeling stagnant or barely staying afloat
I can't touch the ground
Feeling unable to find stability or security
My heart is an anchor
Emotions weigh heavily, dragging down
Weighing me down
Causing a sense of burden and hindrance
Pulling me under
Being overwhelmed, unable to perceive external stimuli
I can't hear a sound
Perception of complete silence or inability to hear
Lost in the silence
Feeling lost, disconnected from surroundings
I'll never be found
Feeling isolated or invisible
Where we can leave behind
Creating a place devoid of inner struggles
The demons in our minds
Referring to internal conflicts or struggles
So leave the world outside
Suggesting a desire for seclusion or escape
And hide away with me
Inviting someone to seek refuge together
This sacred space will be
Describing this joint space as sacred and safe
Our sanctuary
Symbolizing this space as a protective refuge
Hey-oh hey-oh
Melodic interjection, possibly for emphasis or rhythm
Hey-oh hey-oh
-Hey-oh hey-oh-ah
-The oceans have broken
Metaphor for destruction or chaos in life
They've swallowed the land
Describing a situation of devastation or loss
There's nothing that's left of
Alluding to shattered dreams or plans
The future we'd planned
Reflecting on haunting fears or anxieties
All of the nightmares
Highlighting past fears that can't reach this place
That swam in our heads
Reiterating past fears and worries
They do not dare follow
Emphasizing the inability of fears to influence here
Us down to the depths
Embracing a place where fears can't penetrate
Where we can leave behind
Continuation of seeking relief from inner struggles
The demons in our minds
Emphasizing the desire for seclusion from troubles
So leave the world outside
Reiterating the invitation to find refuge
And hide away with me
Encouraging escape or seclusion together
This sacred space will be
Emphasizing the sacredness and safety of the space
Our sanctuary
Repeating the sanctuary as a safe haven
Hey-oh hey-oh-ah
Repetitive melodic interjections, likely for emphasis
Hey-oh hey-oh-ah
-Though I am drowning
-I'm drowning with you
-Slowly we're fading
-Into the blue
-Where we can leave behind
-The demons in our minds
-So leave the world outside
-And hide away with me
-This sacred space will be…
-Hey-oh hey-oh-ah
-Hey-oh hey-oh
Reiteration of the desire to leave inner demons behind
Hey-oh hey-oh-ah
-Hey-oh hey-oh-ah
-Where we can leave behind
-The demons in our minds
Continued emphasis on escaping internal struggles
