Shelter
Noisycell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I am standing on the line
The sirens crack my eardrums
Jackhammer in my head
Breaks my control

After you saw me fail you say
"When will you fix your defect?"
Please tell me what you think?
Turn off my pain

People passing are laughing as you fail
There's no escape
There's a look in their eyes that cuts away
Paranoia turns to fear

In a living hell
Because I hate myself
Because I hate myself right now
And it brings me down so low

No one can take me out of here
I can't runaway from here
From all of my mistakes

I don't know why you stop yourself
I will not know forever
What are you really waiting for?

After you saw me fail you say
"When will you fix your defect?"
Please tell me what you think?
Please tell me what you think?
Tell me...

I don't know why you stop yourself
I will not know forever
What are you really waiting for?
Turn off your mind now
It can be your worst enemy
Don't break down
Break out

Turn off my pain
No escape

No one can take me out of here
I can't runaway from here
From all of my mistakes

I don't know why you stop
I will not know forever

So this time what are you waiting for?
Turn off your mind now
It can be your worst enemy




Don't break down
Break out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Noisycell's song Shelter explore the theme of self-doubt and anxiety. The opening lines, "Now I am standing on the line / The sirens crack my eardrums / Jackhammer in my head / Breaks my control," captures the feeling of being on the brink of a breakdown, overwhelmed by the noise of the world and the pressure of one's own thoughts. The following lines, "After you saw me fail you say / 'When will you fix your defect?'" reveal the presence of an external judge or critic who exacerbates this internal turmoil. The repeated plea, "Please tell me what you think? / Turn off my pain," highlights the desire for relief and validation. However, the singer is continually met with ridicule, as "People passing are laughing as you fail / There's a look in their eyes that cuts away / Paranoia turns to fear." In this living hell, the singer hates themselves and feels trapped by their mistakes, unable to escape no matter how hard they try. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope in the face of this darkness: "I don't know why you stop yourself / I will not know forever / What are you really waiting for? / Turn off your mind now / It can be your worst enemy / Don't break down / Break out." It's a call to action - a moment of defiance amidst the chaos - urging the listener to take control of their thoughts and feelings, to stop waiting for external approval, and to push through their pain and anxiety.

有難うございます!!✨嬉しいです😊まだまだですが、二つの方法の組み合わせなんです。実は色々研究してまして、方法は一つのフレーズかパターンの超反復と、毎日新しいフレーズに挑戦することです。新しいフレーズを練習することにより脳から筋肉へ動きを伝える神経が増えてきてそれが増えることにより左手と右手の自由が上がります!!
