Shelter
Finding Refuge: Personal Atlas Unveils a World's Collapse
Lyrics
After the lights are out
Reflecting on a time after the lights have gone out, possibly a metaphor for a dark or challenging period.
Amidst the soot and rubble
In the midst of destruction and debris, contemplating the aftermath of a significant event or crisis.
I sit and marvel at
Taking a moment to appreciate or wonder at something amidst the chaos.
How fast the world crumbled
Expressing awe at how quickly the world has fallen apart or changed.
I asked the sun advice
Seeking guidance or wisdom from the sun as a symbolic figure.
Some sort of countermeasure
Looking for a solution or preventative measure against challenges or difficulties.
But he just turned away
Experiencing disappointment as the sun metaphorically turns away, possibly indicating a lack of help or answers.
Remarked upon the weather
Observing the sun commenting on trivial matters like the weather instead of providing meaningful guidance.
When the rain falls
Describing a specific weather condition - rain falling and the sky having a distinct color.
And the sky is colored
Highlighting the atmospheric conditions during a significant moment.
I will give you shelter
Promising protection or support when challenges arise, using the metaphor of providing shelter.
I will be your cover
Committing to being a protective shield or refuge for someone in need.
I found you lying there
Discovering someone in a vulnerable state, possibly emotionally or physically.
Dressed in your fine apparel
Noticing the person's outward appearance and their state of distress, possibly after a difficult experience.
Battered beyond belief
Describing the extent of the person's suffering, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
Reading the New York Herald
Identifying an activity, reading the New York Herald, that the person was engaged in despite their condition.
As I held you close
Holding the person close, expressing care and concern for their well-being.
Asked how to make you better
Seeking advice on how to help or improve the person's condition.
You smiled and turned away
Encountering a response where the person turns away, possibly indicating a reluctance to accept help or discuss the situation.
Remarked upon the weather
Noticing a diversion to trivial topics, such as the weather, instead of addressing the more significant issues.
When the rain falls
Repeating the description of rain falling and the sky having a distinct color, possibly emphasizing its importance or impact.
And the sky is colored
Reiterating the atmospheric conditions, reinforcing their significance in the context of the narrative.
I will give you shelter
Restating the commitment to providing shelter or protection during challenging times.
I will be your cover
Affirming the role of being a covering or refuge for someone in need, maintaining the theme of support and protection.
