Shelter
Melanie Fontana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you keep me somewhere safe
And if the cold winds chase me to the edge
I will feel your warmth ahead
So bring on the storm
Come on, bring on the thunder
I'll take shelter in your arms
When the sky's crashing down
When the world's stripped of color
I'll take shelter in your arms
You'll take shelter in my heart
You'll take shelter in my heart
I'm not scared of darker hours
When your heartbeat is my power
Just like seeing shooting stars
I've waited such a long, long time
And now, here you are
So bring on the storm
Come on, bring on the thunder
I'll take shelter in your arms
You'll take shelter in my heart
When the sky's crashing down
When the world's stripped of color
I'll take shelter in your arms
You'll take shelter in my heart
So bring on the storm
Come on, bring on the thunder
I'll take shelter in your arms
You'll take shelter in my heart
When the sky's crashing down
When the world's stripped of color
I'll take shelter in your arms
You'll take shelter in my heart
In these lyrics, Melanie Fontana conveys a sense of emotional security and comfort that comes from being in a loving relationship. She begins by declaring that she doesn't need saving because her partner keeps her somewhere safe. This illustrates the trust and stability that exists within their partnership. Even when faced with difficult times, symbolized by the cold winds and the edge, she knows that her partner's warmth awaits her, offering solace and protection.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of finding refuge in each other during tumultuous moments. Fontana welcomes any storms or thunder that may come their way, as it is in her partner's arms that she finds sanctuary. The repetition of "I'll take shelter in your arms, you'll take shelter in my heart" underscores the reciprocity and mutual support that exists in their relationship. It highlights the understanding that they can lean on each other when the world becomes overwhelming.
The second verse further emphasizes the singer's fearlessness in the face of challenging times. She finds strength in her partner's heartbeat, which acts as her guiding light during darker hours. This comparison to shooting stars accentuates the rarity and significance of finding someone who offers such a powerful connection. Fontana conveys that she has waited a long time for this person, and now that they are together, she is unafraid to confront any obstacles that may arise.
The chorus is repeated once again, reiterating the idea of seeking refuge in each other's arms and hearts. Fontana wants to assure her partner that she is there for them just as much as they are for her. No matter how chaotic the world may become, their love will provide a haven of stability and support. These lyrics ultimately speak to the deep emotional bond that exists between two individuals and the reassurance they find in each other during challenging times.

Ophelia is such a fucking great label, quality release after quality release. I've really started liking Jason's dubstep stuff now, this is gorgeous.

That drop glides so smooth into a euphoric heavenly bliss.
@attackonshawn7836
It's strange saying Shelter without pouring one out for the homie, Porter. This song is so good though! I really love the lyrics here, and the drop is sooo pleasant to the ears.
