Shelter Av. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t know
She’s so kind she’s brighter than snow
Cross a mountain
Guess I’m going to find
Have you seen the moon
Running for the shelter
Running for the shelter
Scape from real life
Have you seen a bird up in the sky
You’re so blind
You cannot understand
Cross a mountain
Guess I’m going to find
Have you seen the moon
Running for the shelter
Run but you can’t hide
Running for the shelter
Scape from real life
In the lyrics of Shelter Av.'s song "Shelter," the artist reflects on the search for love and solace in a tumultuous world. The opening lines, "Have you seen my love, I don't know, she's so kind, she's brighter than snow," display a longing for a love that seems elusive and mysterious. The search for this love is compared to crossing a mountain, symbolizing the hardships and obstacles one must face in pursuit of happiness.
The chorus, "Running for the shelter, run but you can't hide, running for the shelter, scape from real life," speaks to the need for escape from the harsh realities of life. It suggests that even though one may try to run away from these challenges, true shelter can never truly be found unless one confronts and overcomes their demons.
The second verse introduces the metaphor of a bird in the sky, representing freedom and perspective. The line "You're so blind, you cannot understand" highlights the idea that sometimes we are blind to the beauty and opportunities around us. Once again, the mountain serves as a symbol of the journey one must embark on to find meaning and purpose.
Overall, "Shelter" by Shelter Av. portrays the universal search for love and shelter from the hardships of life. It touches upon themes of longing, escape, and the need to face difficult realities to find true solace.
