Sanctuary
Methods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I take your hand?
I'm facing my fears again
But assuming I can't
Can I run to you?
Tell me why should I let you in my home?
For you to use me until you're off again to roam
I think you know
And if I don't want you to come back
What would you have to say?
You know I had a feeling you would ask
I guess I'll walk away
If I can't run to you
She won't let me stay the night
What would you want me to say?
When you're the one running away
Leave me back here on my own
I think that you've got me all wrong
You trust me to not move an inch
Is that why you seem so unhinged
I waited for you every day
In "Sanctuary," Methods explores themes of vulnerability, fear, and trust in a relationship. The song seems to depict a repetitive pattern where the singer is facing their fears but feels uncertain about seeking comfort and support from their partner. There is a sense of hesitation and doubt, as the singer questions whether they should allow their partner back into their life, knowing they might only be used again and then left to deal with the aftermath.
The lyrics suggest a longing for emotional refuge, as the singer asks if they can run to their partner, seeking solace and understanding. However, there is a conflict between their desire for comfort and their realization that letting their partner in might lead to more pain and disappointment. It becomes apparent that the singer has been hurt before, which intensifies their internal struggle.
The song also touches on the dynamics of power within the relationship. The line "She won't let me stay the night, what would you want me to say? When you're the one running away" reveals a power imbalance where the partner seems to control the situation, making it difficult for the singer to find stability and a sense of belonging. The last line, "I waited for you every day," conveys a sense of longing and dedication, despite the chaotic nature of the relationship.
Overall, "Sanctuary" portrays the complexities of trust, fear, and vulnerability within a relationship and delves into the struggle of seeking solace while guarding oneself from further pain.

Well it seems like we are here again
It feels like we have returned to the same situation once more
Can I take your hand?
Can I hold onto your support and guidance?
I'm facing my fears again
I am confronting my anxieties once more
But assuming I can't
But let's say I am unable to do so
Can I run to you?
Can I depend on you for comfort and solace?
Tell me why should I let you in my home?
Explain to me why I should allow you into my personal space and life
For you to use me until you're off again to roam
So that you can exploit me until you decide to leave once more
I think you know
I believe you are aware
Why I run to you
The reasons why I seek refuge in you
And if I don't want you to come back
And in the event that I no longer desire your return
What would you have to say?
What response would you have?
You know I had a feeling you would ask
You are aware that I anticipated this question from you
I guess I'll walk away
I suppose I will choose to depart
If I can't run to you
If I am unable to seek comfort in you
She won't let me stay the night
She refuses to allow me to spend the night with her
What would you want me to say?
What do you expect me to communicate?
When you're the one running away
Despite you being the one escaping from the situation
Leave me back here on my own
Abandon me here by myself
I think that you've got me all wrong
I believe you have misunderstood me
You trust me to not move an inch
You have faith in me to remain steadfast and unchanged
Is that why you seem so unhinged
Is that why you appear mentally disturbed or unstable?
I waited for you every day
I patiently anticipated your presence each day
