Don't Walk Away
Shelter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that you were born for me and I was born for you.
Your soul is old.
Mine is so cold and I know what I right but sometimes it抯 so hard to do.
How many chances I get?
How many crimes you forget?
How many times before you just walk away?
Salty knife in my heart, nothing tears us apart.
What can I say?
You feel betrayed.
How may time before you just walk?
You were born to give,
and I pray I抣l live up to what I want to become and what you need from me.
Layers of mistakes, give the heart a break again.
All you ask me for is some security.
The lyrics of the song "Don't Walk Away" by Shelter are deep and meaningful. The song is about a relationship that seems to be going through a difficult phase. The singer seems to be pleading with their partner not to give up on them yet. The first lines of the song, "Zoom the lens right in, dissect your best friend" give us an idea of the pain and confusion that the singer is going through. He is analyzing the relationship and the people involved trying to decipher what went wrong.
The singer then goes on to confess his love, "You know that you were born for me and I was born for you. Your soul is old. Mine is so cold." He's acknowledging that their souls are meant to be together, but he also reveals that he's struggling with opening up emotionally, probably due to past experiences. He admits, "I know what I right but sometimes it抯 so hard to do," indicating that he's aware of his shortcomings but struggling to overcome them.
The last lines of the song, "All you ask me for is some security," highlights the need for reassurance and stability in a relationship. It's an honest admission that sometimes misunderstandings can cause friction in relationships, but all that is needed is some sense of security to get through them.
Overall, "Don't Walk Away" is a powerfully written song that deals with vulnerability and the challenges of relationships. It encourages us to keep fighting for what we believe in and work through our differences.
