D-Fener Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I take your hand?
I'm facing my fears again
But assuming I can't
Can I run to you?
Tell me why should I let you in my home?
For you to use me until you're off again to roam
I think you know
And if I don't want you to come back
What would you have to say?
You know I had a feeling you would ask
I guess I'll walk away
If I can't run to you
She won't let me stay the night
What would you want me to say?
When you're the one running away
Leave me back here on my own
I think that you've got me all wrong
You trust me to not move an inch
Is that why you seem so unhinged
I waited for you every day
The lyrics to D-Fener's song Sanctuary describe the complex relationship between humans and nature. The sanctuary in this song is a wooded area that once provided the singer with shade and comfort, but has now been destroyed by construction. The lyrics suggest that humans have a tendency to focus on their own selfish desires, ignoring the beauty and importance of nature. The song's message is a warning against the destructive effects of consumerism and the importance of preserving the natural world.
The opening lines of the song describe the sanctuary as a "treasure of trees" and a "shaded sanctuary". The singer reminisces about how the leaves used to shield him from "filtered light". However, the construction of buildings has now destroyed the trees and turned the forest into a "network of sticks framed for a stack of bricks". The singer questions whether his mind is playing tricks on him, suggesting that the destruction of the forest is hard to believe.
The second verse of the song urges the listener to "plant the seed" and "focus on your greed" rather than "too occupied to watch the tree bloom". The lyrics suggest that humans are too focused on chasing material possessions and "chasing the sun" to notice the beauty of nature. The song ends with a plea to appreciate and protect the natural world, describing the sanctuary as a "pleasure of ease" and a haven from the stresses of daily life.
Line by Line Meaning
Shaded Sanctuary, oh treasure of trees
A lush environment, previously protected and covered by trees
Whose leaves used to shield me from filtered light
The leaves of the trees used to block out some of the light, creating a shaded environment
Slightly less shady than before
The environment has changed, and it is not as shaded as it used to be
Leaving specs of sparks representing new parts from years past
The environment is changing and new things are emerging, representing growth or change
Like lightning all in a flash
The change is happening quickly, like lightning
Construction: a clip of what's passed
The environment is changing as old structures are being replaced with new ones
Is my mind playing tricks?
The singer is realizing that their perception of reality may not be accurate
This forest uprooted so quick
The environment has changed very quickly
Now just a network of sticks
The trees have been removed and all that's left are branches and twigs
Framed for a stack of bricks
The trees were removed for the purpose of building something else
Plant the seed, ignore it and focus on your greed
A warning against ignoring the environment and focusing only on one's own desires
Chase the sun as it races with the moon
The pursuit of success or happiness without paying attention to the natural world
Too occupied to watch the tree bloom
Being too busy or preoccupied to notice growth or change in the environment
Track the sky, implore it as the stars say you've tried
Trying to find meaning or guidance in the natural world, but not truly paying attention
So fast has time passed in this dusty saloon
The environment has become dull or uninteresting due to a lack of attention
Too occupied beneath the tree's plume
Being preoccupied with something else and missing out on the beauty of the environment
Shaded Sanctuary, oh pleasure of ease
An environment that used to be peaceful and easy to be in
Whose ceilings used to shield him from stranger's plight
The environment used to protect the singer from problems or concerns outside of it
Slightly less stressed he opens his door
The singer is leaving their worries behind as they enter the natural world
To leave behind the dull parts of his body and mind
Using the environment as a way to escape the mundane or stressful parts of life
While exiting into the lush
Leaving behind one environment and entering a new, lush one
It's frightening to us
The outside environment may be overwhelming or intimidating to some
Just a single brush
Even a small interaction with nature can have a big impact
To him a sight so sure
The artist views the natural world as a reliable and predictable source of comfort
He'd be naïve to call it nature
The singer feels such a deep connection to the natural world that it doesn't feel like a separate entity, but rather a part of themselves
