Shelter
Tenfold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been thinkin'
Maybe you're the one
Don't wait hesitate
Before this has just
Begun

Would you let me
Come and walk with you?

I know, you know, we know
This can grow
Give it cover, wonder
What we have done

Can you feel it
It is strong




Feel it
It is....strong!

Hell yeah, I found this band when looking for team sleep and deftones. I remember on my first deployment, I would look for new tunes and found this band. They were on every single play list I had on my ipod at the time.

Haha I got it from limewire name swaps lmao it was genius marketing, just too believable to actually think to look up who it actually was, in my case . Most were labeled as some sort of derivative of members from bands like: Deftones, Tool, Glassjaw , Trust Company , Flaw . .. All of which were subject to swap and covers of each other. Now to think of it, no wonder puberty was so confusing for me hahah

Many were stolen Death Star Plan Protoypes under different names , now that I'm trapped in this rabbit hole. Even today youtube will autocorrect post entering your search and give you the actual finished song. Maybe under user hashtags or something.
