The lyrics to "Sanctuary" from Kingdom Hearts 2 paint the picture of a unique, fantastical land that exists between two people. The singer and the subject of the song find themselves transported to this new realm where their fears and lies disappear. The idea of angels in flight adds to the mystical feeling of the land. The lyrics throughout the song are written in what appears to be reversed text, which is a stylistic choice that reflects the otherworldly feel of the song. The line "What's left of me" is repeated, emphasizing the idea that the two characters are coming together in a new form.
The line "My heart's a battleground" adds a layer of complexity to the overall theme of the song. The singer sees their own heart as a place of conflict, yet their sanctuary is found when they are next to the subject. The juxtaposition of the two thoughts creates a sense of tension, but the resolution is found in the peace of the sanctuary.

After everything I've been through, all that remains is a broken and incomplete version of myself
I watch you fast asleep,
As you sleep soundly, I am filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the peacefulness of your slumber
All I fear means nothing
In your presence, all of my fears and worries are insignificant and powerless
My heart's a battleground
My emotions are in constant conflict with each other, waging war within me
You show me how to see,
Through your guidance, I am able to see the world in a new light and gain a greater understanding of myself and others
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken,
The world is neither perfect nor shattered, but rather a complex web of beauty and brokenness
My fears, my lies Melt away...
In the sanctuary of our love, my fears and deceptions melt away, leaving behind only purity and truthfulness

I'm nearing 30 and this shit still hits like when I was in my teens. Wow. Life flies fast, take care of yourself everyone!
Update: I lost my dad 2 weeks ago. Really, take care of yourself and each other. It's unfortunate that we will see days like this but we have to be strong.
