Sanctuary
Searching for Home: Unraveling the Emotional Journey in 'Sanctuary' by The D/A Method
Lyrics
Well it seems like we are here again
Expressing a sense of repetition or déjà vu, returning to a familiar situation.
Can I take your hand?
Seeking connection and intimacy by asking to hold hands.
I'm facing my fears again
Confronting and dealing with personal fears once again.
But assuming I can't
Expressing doubt about the ability to confront fears.
Can I run to you?
Asking for support and questioning if it's acceptable to seek refuge.
Tell me why should I let you in my home?
Questioning the trustworthiness of someone entering one's personal space.
For you to use me until you're off again to roam
Expressing a fear of being used and abandoned by the person entering the home.
I think you know
Suggesting that the other person is aware of the emotional impact but continues the behavior.
Why I run to you
Acknowledging a pattern of seeking comfort in the face of fear.
And if I don't want you to come back
Contemplating the possibility of ending the cycle by not welcoming the person back.
What would you have to say?
Prompting the other person to justify their return in case of rejection.
You know I had a feeling you would ask
Anticipating the question and indicating prior awareness of the situation.
I guess I'll walk away
Resolving to distance oneself if the other person insists on returning.
If I can't run to you
Expressing a desire to seek comfort but feeling unable to do so.
She won't let me stay the night
Facing rejection and being unable to stay overnight.
What would you want me to say?
Asking for guidance on what to say in this difficult situation.
When you're the one running away
Pointing out the irony of the person running away while expecting understanding.
Leave me back here on my own
Feeling abandoned and left alone to deal with challenges.
I think that you've got me all wrong
Challenging the other person's understanding of the speaker's intentions.
You trust me to not move an inch
Noting the expectation of trust but questioning its validity.
Is that why you seem so unhinged
Speculating on the emotional state of the other person due to the perceived instability.
I waited for you every day
Expressing a consistent, unwavering commitment despite the challenges.
