No Shelter
Seether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today
You seem a little far away
I hate that I don't have the words to say:
I'm bored of all the little games you play
A cage is never gonna make me stay.

If we don't help ourselves, we'll fall
I find no comfort in this world.

I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine
No shelter for me ?

Awake
I need a little comforting
I break
My mind is sick of wandering
I'm yours
I love it when I'm suffering
Too late, I don't believe in anything.

If we don't help ourselves, we'll fall
I find no comfort in this world.

I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine
No shelter for me ?

There's no shelter here
There's no shelter
No way out of here!!!

I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me
I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine
No shelter for me ?

I'll never find my way
And I'm broken by...
No shelter for me




I'll never compensate
Just to keep you mine.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Seether's song "No Shelter" depict the struggles of a person who is feeling emotionally trapped and suffocated by their relationship. The singer begins by acknowledging a sense of distance in their current situation, remarking that they are tired of the "little games" played by their loved one. It becomes clear that the relationship has become a kind of "cage," and that the singer is determined not to stay confined within it.


Throughout the song, the singer's sense of isolation and despair is apparent. They express a need for comfort and reassurance, but at the same time, they feel trapped and unsupported. The repeated refrain of "no shelter for me" is an indication of how lost and alone the singer feels. In the end, they seem to resign themselves to their predicament, admitting that they will never find their way and that they are "broken."


Overall, "No Shelter" is a poignant and powerful exploration of love and loss, and the ways in which relationships can become suffocating and overwhelming.
