Shelter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't settle for second best in life
And end up like the rest
I know out of thousands
Only one will come forward
A narrow gate that I'm gonna go for
I'll try but I may not succeed
But if I know I took that chance
I'll let the world disagree
But I'm gonna take that chance
The hour glass drops sand
As we waste our time
We stay on standby
As time destroys all in it's way
Wasting days
Be we've got to move
Success and failure in this world
All the same mere games that won't remain
So what's getting ahead unless we transcend?
For that I'm gonna try and try again
The lyrics of Shelter's song Chance reflect the desire of not settling for mediocrity and taking a chance in life, even if it means risking failure. The artist expresses his determination to pursue the path he believes in, despite the odds, and to take the narrow gate to success, which he considers the only way to achieve what he wants. He understands that it will not be easy and that failure is a possibility, but he is willing to try and take that chance because that's what he needs to make progress in his life.
The second stanza of the lyrics is a reminder that time is finite and that we must not waste it on standby, waiting for something to happen. He believes that worldly success and failure are temporary and insignificant if we don't transcend them. They are just mere games that won't remain. According to the artist, moving forward and taking chances is the only way to transcend the worldly games and achieve something greater.
The song Chance is a call to action to everyone who wants to pursue their dreams and make something of their lives. It also highlights the importance of taking risks and not giving up on what you believe in.
