Sanctuary
Gareth Emery feat. Lucy Saunders Lyrics

Gareth Emery's song Sanctuary is a beautiful and metaphorical representation of finding comfort and safety in the presence of another person. The opening lines "Between the spaces where we long to be, beyond together and alone" indicate an emotional state of limbo many people find themselves in while searching for companionship. It emphasizes the human desire for companionship and love, where beyond that emotional turmoil and the deep edge of one's personality, one can find solace in someone else's companionship. The lyric emphasizes that although we may feel lonely and isolated at times, there is a gentle comfort when we are together.

The line "And at the edge where you fade into me, We find the shelter we call home" emphasizes the idea of merging souls, where the two individuals become one, and the boundary between them disappears. The line indicates a sense of eternal belonging and satisfaction in the presence of the soulmate, who provides security and understanding. The idea of finding a sense of belonging through another that helps ground you is relatable and one that most people can easily associate with, thus making the song more relatable.
