Shelter
[LYRICS] Porter Robinson & Madeon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Have you noticed I've been gone?
'Cause I left behind the home that you made me
But I will carry it along
And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
When I'm older, I'll be silent beside you
I know words won't be enough
And they won't need to know the names or our faces
But they will carry on for us
And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
Until you're gone
Oh it's a long way forward, trust in me
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
Until
"Shelter" is a touching song about a person reflecting on the home they left behind but will always carry with them. It centers around the theme of shelter, both physical and emotional, and the idea that the love and support we receive from others can uplift and sustain us through difficult times. The lyrics are sung from a place of great appreciation for the singer's former home, with memories and feelings of safety and warmth coursing through every line. The singer acknowledges the necessity of moving forward but also wants to honor the past by paying it forward.
The song is melancholic yet hopeful at the same time. The singer assures the person they left behind that they will continue to give shelter to others as their loved one did for them. This line speaks to the idea that we all have the ability to create safe harbor for others, no matter where we come from or where we end up. The final line of the song is particularly poignant, as it suggests that even after the loved one is gone, their legacy of shelter and love will continue to live on through those they cared for.
Overall, "Shelter" is a touching tribute to the power of home, love, and shelter in our lives. It reminds us that we all have the ability to create a sense of safety and comfort for those around us, and that these acts of kindness and compassion can have a lasting impact on the world.

"It only took a few typing a day for these work"
How amazing, how much someone can achieve by literally just writing one comment a day ...
Writing one bit of something a day
And by the end of a time period, being left with a book.
Literally or figuratively.
Our lives are stories.
I
I love this all

Was surprised lol.
I didn’t know people were that bored being stuck at home.
I actually like it since I get to see less people and don’t have to meet some annoying people in life.

Day 365: Well it is time, I have completed the 365 day challenge. It was a long journey, a journey I loved, a journey where you guys got to know me, and where I got to know you guys. This is one of the best things I ever did and I’m glad we took this journey together. But you know what they say, all good things come to an end. I loved this journey and will take a small break now. But this isn’t the last time you guys see me commenting on this song. Before I go I wanna say, I love each and everyone of you guys ❤️❤️.
