Shelter
이창섭 Lyrics

The lyrics of "Shelter" by 이창섭 (Changsub) express a feeling of finding solace in someone, a sense of protection and love. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that this light, which can sometimes be painful and exciting, exists within them. In those dazzling moments, they question where they are. They cherish even the smallest traces of their connection, emphasizing that they are in love and they draw the image of their loved one with caution, closing their eyes in the process. The repetition of "woah" and the melodic tone further enhance the emotional intensity of the lyrics.

The chorus conveys a deep desire for refuge and a plea to the loved one to accompany them to a place where no one else can find or hear them. It's an intimate and private space where they want to stay together. The repeated "ooh-woah, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa" serves as a mantra-like expression of this longing and the emotional intensity that comes with it.
