Haven
Flesh Field Lyrics

The lyrics of the Flesh Field's song Haven are a reflection of one's fear and struggle to cope with the complexities of the world outside. The opening lines, "Your face is always clear. It's not difficult to see you. To me, you're just a mirror, Reflecting whom I always knew," portrays a sense of familiarity and comfort in one's own self, which acts as a mirror for the person's perception of the outer world.

The next lines are a reassurance to the individual facing fear, "You're not the only one who's afraid of the world outside. You're not the only one who's given in to fear and tried to hide." This gives a sense of belonging, as one realizes that they are not alone in the world with their fears. The lyrics become darker in the final verse, "My hands are bleeding from the digging, and the building of new barriers and walls that keep me safe from all that I once loved." The singer expresses their constant struggle to cope with the fears and dealing with them in a way that isolates them from what they once loved.

The final lines of the song, "Don't assume I'm blind. I know all about you. Don't leave me behind. I can't survive without you," shows the singer's dependence on someone for their survival. This person is the one that represents familiarity and comfort, as the singer struggles to cope with the outside world. The song ends on a note of desperation and anxiety that one may feel when their haven is threatened.
