Shelter from the Storm
Alex M.O.R.P.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To our caverns underground
And in our backyard caves
We'd hear the sirens sound
And we took it very well
When then black rains fell
When the dust came down around us
It was baby needs shoes
The PTA and barbeques
And it was two-handed touch
Out on the white house lawn
And we were nobody's fools
Fillin' in the swimming pools
We poured concrete and steel
When the neighbors had gone
Now we all live here together
Yes we all live here as one
Now we all share the comforts of a hole in the ground
And we all remember livin' in the sun
Here in the shelter
We heard nuclear freeze
We heard first-strike strategies
We heard how to pay the taxman
When the big one falls
We heard good guys and bad guys
We heard little lies and big lies
About who comes out the winners
And it's not that bad at all
When a madman gets a gun
He's gonna point it at someone
If it's up in texas tower
Or over there across the pond
And if you step on his pride
Or if he hurts somewhere inside
He might let one fly
When his nerves are gone
Now we all live here together
Yes we all live here as one
Now we all share the comforts of a hole in the ground
And we all remember livin' in the sun
Here in the shelter
The lyrics of "Shelter from the Storm" describe life in underground bunkers during a time of threat from nuclear war. The first verse paints a picture of people retreating underground during times of warning, seeking refuge from the outside world. The second verse describes life in the days before the threat became imminent, with references to everyday activities such as playing touch football and pouring concrete around the neighborhood.
The chorus, "Now we all live here together / Yes we all live here as one / Now we all share the comforts of a hole in the ground / And we all remember livin' in the sun / Here in the shelter," reflects a sense of camaraderie among the inhabitants of the bunkers - they are all in this together, and their shared experience gives them a sense of unity. The third verse is more ominous, acknowledging the realities of living in a world where war is a constant threat. The people in the bunkers have heard all manner of news and rumors about the state of the world outside, including strategies for attack and the possibility of nuclear holocaust. The song ends by returning to the chorus, hammering home the idea that the inhabitants of the bunkers are in a unique situation, isolated from the rest of the world but united with each other.
Overall, "Shelter from the Storm" is a haunting depiction of life during a time of war and uncertainty. The lyrics speak to the primal human urge to seek shelter and protection, but also to the resilience and camaraderie that can be found in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Well we all go down
We all retreat to underground shelters
To our caverns underground
We seek security in underground caves
And in our backyard caves
We create shelters in our backyards
We'd hear the sirens sound
We are alerted by the sirens when danger is approaching
And we took it very well
We adapted to the situation calmly
When then black rains fell
When there were catastrophic events, we endured them
When the dust came down around us
We were surrounded by debris and destruction, but we were unharmed
We were safe and sound
We were secure and protected
It was baby needs shoes
We prioritized basic necessities for our families
The PTA and barbeques
We engaged in community activities
And it was two-handed touch
We played recreational sports
Out on the white house lawn
We enjoyed outdoor activities on our lawns
And we were nobody's fools
We were not easily deceived or manipulated
Fillin' in the swimming pools
We took measures to secure our property
We poured concrete and steel
We reinforced our shelters with strong materials
When the neighbors had gone
We took action when our neighbors were not prepared
Now we all live here together
We are united and coexist in our underground shelters
Yes we all live here as one
We are a community with a shared goal of survival
Now we all share the comforts of a hole in the ground
We have found safety and comfort in our underground shelters
And we all remember livin' in the sun
We reminisce about our previous lives before the disaster
Here in the shelter
In this safe haven where we protect ourselves
We heard nuclear freeze
We listened to discussions about stopping the use of nuclear weapons
We heard first-strike strategies
We learned about aggressive military tactics
We heard how to pay the taxman
We received information about paying taxes for government support
When the big one falls
In the event of a major disaster
We heard good guys and bad guys
We learned about the conflicting interests of different groups
We heard little lies and big lies
We heard both minor and major deceptions
About who comes out the winners
We were informed about who gains advantage from different situations
And it's not that bad at all
Despite living in a shelter, life is not as miserable as expected
When a madman gets a gun
In cases of lethal violence
He's gonna point it at someone
The perpetrator will target someone with his weapon
If it's up in texas tower
Referring to the infamous incident on the University of Texas campus in 1966
Or over there across the pond
In foreign countries or regions
And if you step on his pride
If you provoke the attacker's ego
Or if he hurts somewhere inside
If the perpetrator is struggling with emotional issues
He might let one fly
The attacker may resort to violent acts
When his nerves are gone
When someone is pushed to their limit

@efraim.
You are the one who fills me up with colours,
Who burns the sky for me,
Boy, don’t you see,
Sun shines brighter when you are near…
But it’s like no one else on the earth,
Your smile, your touch, your lips,
The hopes I was thinking in,
Your love was given me…
To the heaven…
@honeybear4003
Technically and Melodically probably one of the best Trance Productions ever made !!
@DJFish8051
Alex M.O.R.P.H you have done it again goosebumps all over my arms listening to the beautiful melody and vocals what true trance should be
@MartiniMike
RIP ZYZZ... always with you brah.
@LeSaggiatore
M.A.S.T.E.R.P.I.E.C.E !
Alex Morph is so underrated :/
@ashwinchakilum8468
Good guy Alex M.O.R.P.H.
Doesn't give in to the big room EDM fad and instead sticks to what he's best at, producing classic, uplifting Trance music.
Are there really so many people disliking this? If you seriously prefer big room house over this, then you truly have low standards for music.
@Hlemguard
Never doubt uncle Alex. People dislike this beacause mainstream music is easier to digest, from which I believe most of them lack IQ (yeah, sorry). You know the drill: eat, spleep, rave, repeat.........
@kennethbartholomew7449
sticking to one genre seems to be boring
@ashwinchakilum8468
Well, this genre certainly has higher quality, more creative music than big room/commercial EDM that most electronic dance musicians have moved on towards.
Besides, Trance is kinda the thing you'd expect Alex M.O.R.P.H. to do, and do well. I'd be psyched if he tried to take on other styles like Liquid DnB/Dubstep. I can imagine him executing that very well, just as long as he doesn't confirm to the god awful commericial/big room EDM that's being produced by the once great Trance artists nowadays.
@matheusab
Ashwin Chakilum I wouldn't say it's more creative, but the quality is, indeed, higher.
@ThatGuy-ep7xq
Ashwin Chakilum I don't think this is uplifting trance.
