Sanctuary
Markus Feehily Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try to picture me
And lonely night? back the years
Pretty much forgotten
In the way our love used to feel
So when you hit rock bottom
I don't to hear is beginning
It's taking some time to find me
Still you have the nerve to try me
'Cause this what I deserve
A lesson to learn for trying
To forget about you
Better without you, so now
My sanctuary is where i'll be
Sanctuary
Restless days memory's on repeat
How can I love the same mistakes I keep
Creepin up behind me, to forever remind me
So when you hit rock bottom
I don't to hear is me you need
It's taking some time to find me
Still you have the nerve to try me
'Cause this what I deserve
A lesson to learn for trying
To forget about you
Better without you, so now
My sanctuary is where i'll be
Sanctuary
No windows no doors, no winning dyme from?
No feelings under the floor
I built my castle of strong nothing can ever go wrong
The only way to be sure
It's taking some time to find me
Still you have the nerve to try me
'Cause this what I deserve
A lesson to learn for trying
To forget about you
Better without you, so now
My sanctuary is where i'll be
Sanctuary
"Sanctuary" by Markus Feehily is a song about finding peace and refuge in oneself after a difficult breakup. The lyrics speak of the singer trying to move on from a lost love and the struggle to forget the memories and mistakes made during the relationship. The chorus emphasizes that the singer has found a place of solace within their own heart, a sanctuary away from the pain and heartbreak caused by the past.
The first verse speaks to the feeling of loneliness and nostalgia that the singer experiences when looking back at their previous relationship. They express that the love shared between them and their partner has been forgotten and lost, but that they still remember the way it felt. The second verse talks about the difficulty of trying to move on, with memories and mistakes constantly creeping up on them. However, the singer asserts that they don't want to hear from their ex-partner when they hit "rock bottom" and that they are determined to find their sanctuary.
The bridge of the song describes the sanctuary as a "castle" built with the singer's own strength and resilience. It is a safe space where they can escape the hurt and pain caused by the past relationship. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the idea that the sanctuary is where they will be staying and that they are better off without their former significant other.
Overall, "Sanctuary" is a powerful song about finding inner peace and taking control of one's own life after a difficult breakup. It speaks to the pain and struggle of letting go and moving on, but ultimately encourages the listener to find their own sanctuary, a place of refuge and strength within themselves.

Close your eyes
Take a moment to visualize
And try to picture me
Imagine my presence
And lonely night? back the years
Bring up memories of past romance
Pretty much forgotten
Nearly erased from memory
In the way our love used to feel
The feelings of our past love
So when you hit rock bottom
When you're at your lowest point
I don't to hear is beginning
I don't want to hear you start over
It's taking some time to find me
It's taking time to rediscover myself
Still you have the nerve to try me
You still have the audacity to reach out to me
'Cause this what I deserve
This is the lesson I need to learn
A lesson to learn for trying
A lesson to learn for trying to forget
To forget about you
To let go of the past
Better without you, so now
I'm better off without you
My sanctuary is where i'll be
My safe haven is where I'll stay
Sanctuary
A place of refuge
Restless days memory's on repeat
Endless days reliving past memories
How can I love the same mistakes I keep
How can I continue to love my past mistakes
Creepin up behind me, to forever remind me
Haunting me to remind me of what I've lost
No windows no doors, no winning dyme from?
A secluded place with no escape, no signs of hope
No feelings under the floor
Hiding emotions deep within
I built my castle of strong nothing can ever go wrong
I built a fortress to protect myself
The only way to be sure
The only way to be safe

When I think of how an Angel must sound like, somehow Mark comes to my mind. You know Mark you really sing with your heart and soul, that was you, since Westlife. I really like the way you sing and I also like that your music is focused on your voice. The simplicity is deep. Honestly, I cant explain the feeling I get when I listen to you (no joke). I firmly stand by the claim that Markus Feehily has the greatest voice in the universe (Sorry Bashers). Way to goo Markus! Keep the songs coming 😆 I love you from the bottom of my heart and will support you forever. Please dont stop singing. Im still waiting for the right time to meet you and hear your voice live here in the Philippines. 😀
