Shelter
Project A.F.T.E.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my shelter
From the storm
And when the sky has no stars
You're my shelter
From the storm
When I don't know what life's for
You're my shelter
And when the world is at war
You're my shelter
From the storm
Let me be
Let me cry in the rain till I can't breathe
And when my knees feel weak
I know you'll be there to carry me
When the world is cold
You're my shelter
From the storm
And when our bodies grow old
You're my shelter
From the storm
When our time here is up
You're my shelter
From the storm
When my mind has had enough
You're my shelter
From the storm
Let me be
Let me cry in the rain till I can't breathe
And when my knees feel weak
I know you'll be there to carry me
You gave me the strength
I needed to find mine
I waited for you to come
The whole of my life
Let me be
Let me cry in the rain till I can't breathe
And when my knees feel weak
I know you'll be there to carry me
Let me be
Let me cry in the rain till I can't breathe
And when my knees feel weak
I know you'll be there to carry me
The lyrics to Project A.F.T.E.R.'s song "Shelter" express a deep sense of reliance and comfort in someone's presence. The singer describes this person as their shelter, their source of protection and solace in times of darkness, uncertainty, and chaos. When the world feels overwhelming, this individual provides a safe haven, shielding them from the storms of life.
The lyrics beautifully capture the idea of vulnerability and the need for emotional support. The singer longs to be allowed to express their feelings, even if it means crying in the rain until they can't breathe. They trust that this person will be there to carry them when their own strength fails, when their knees feel weak. This vulnerability creates a strong bond between the singer and the person they rely on for support.
The repetition of the phrase "You're my shelter from the storm" reinforces the significance of this person in the singer's life. They are not just a temporary refuge, but a constant presence that provides protection in various aspects of life. Whether it's during times of personal turmoil, old age, the end of life, or when the mind becomes overwhelmed, this person remains a steadfast shelter.
Overall, the lyrics convey a deep appreciation for someone who provides unwavering support and comfort in the midst of life's challenges. They celebrate the strength and steadiness that this person brings, giving the singer the confidence to navigate the storms of life.

When my world turns dark
During difficult times, when everything seems bleak and gloomy
You're my shelter
You provide comfort and protection
From the storm
From the chaos and turmoil that surrounds me
And when the sky has no stars
When there is no hope or guidance
When I don't know what life's for
When I feel lost and unsure about the purpose of life
When the world is at war
During times of conflict and unrest in society
Let me be
Allow me to express myself freely and openly
Let me cry in the rain till I can't breathe
Allow me to release my emotions and pain, even if it becomes overwhelming
And when my knees feel weak
When I am physically or emotionally exhausted
I know you'll be there to carry me
I have faith that you will support and uplift me
When the world is cold
When there is a lack of warmth, love, and compassion
When our bodies grow old
When we age and our physical abilities decline
When our time here is up
When our lives come to an end
When my mind has had enough
When my thoughts and emotions become overwhelming
You gave me the strength
You empowered and enabled me to be strong
I needed to find mine
I required strength to discover my own identity and purpose
I waited for you to come
I have been longing and hoping for your presence
The whole of my life
Throughout my entire existence

I just started on a new company as a Project Engineer, and is very frustrating since I started a couple weeks ago and the project I have every turn I take theres something wrong, miss comunication, lack of process documentation, no clear milestones, even the IMS is pretty much nonexistant. It specially frustrating since I don't have the authority to get them to get ther crap together and start working as a team to at least have everyone on the same page and proper documenatation on where we are and where we going. Then I read the title of todays video and I almost said out loud, "I'm trying Adriana, I'm trying"
