Take Shelter
Years & Years/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll make it so you never ever know
How much I have messed it up!
We’re running ’round like we don’t care,
It’s gonna leave its marks somewhere,
Do you want to show me something new?
You go now, reached my top anyway)
Just tell me what I have to do,
To keep myself apart from you
All your colors start to burn
I know I wanted far too much,
Then I thought that wouldn’t be enough
All this talk is closing you.
Take shelter,
Take the pressure,
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright,
If you want to get used,
You get used!
Take shelter,
Take the pressure,
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright,
If you want to get used,
Then get used!
I don’t really wanna stop myself
Nobody’s gonna tell me I need help,
Are you coming over soon?
I'll meet you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I’m shy, cannot be what you like.
(You go down, reached my top anyway
You go down, reached my top anyway)
Just tell me what I have to do,
To keep myself apart from you
All your colors start to burn.
And take shelter,
Take the pressure,
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright,
If you want to get used,
Then get used!
Take shelter,
Take the pressure,
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright,
If you want to get used,
Then get used!
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love,
If you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you.
I don’t really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love,
If you wanna find something more
I’ll be the one to run for you!
Take shelter,
Take the pressure,
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright,
If you want to get used,
Then get used!
And take shelter (shelter)
Take the pressure,
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright
If you want to get used!
The lyrics of Years & Years/Musicfire.in's song Take Shelter discuss a relationship that is on the brink of breaking due to one person's insecurities and fear of being hurt. The singer admits to having messed up the relationship in the past and now wants to keep themselves apart from their partner to avoid a repeat of past mistakes.

The repeated refrain of "take shelter, take the pressure" suggests a need for protection and escape from the pressures of the relationship.

I’ll wait until you have to go,
I'll hold on until you have to leave
I’ll make it so you never ever know
I'll hide my mistakes from you
How much I have messed it up!
How much I have messed up our relationship
We’re running ’round like we don’t care,
We're living carelessly and recklessly
It’s gonna leave its marks somewhere,
Our behavior will have consequences
Do you want to show me something new?
Do you want to introduce me to new things?
(You go now, reached my top anyway
You leave now, I've already reached my peak
Just tell me what I have to do,
Give me directions
To keep myself apart from you
To distance myself from you
All your colors start to burn
I'm overwhelmed by your personality
I know I wanted far too much,
I had unrealistic expectations
Then I thought that wouldn’t be enough
Then I thought that my expectations were not high enough
All this talk is closing you.
Our conversations are creating distance between us
Take shelter,
Seek protection
Take the pressure,
Release the stress
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright,
Do whatever makes you happy tonight
If you want to get used,
If you want to be taken advantage of
You get used!
Then let it happen
I don’t really wanna stop myself
I don't want to hold back
Nobody’s gonna tell me I need help,
I refuse to believe that I need help
Are you coming over soon?
Are you planning on seeing me soon?
I'll meet you at the darkest time
I'll be there for you during your worst moments
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
Your touch is so powerful that I have to close my eyes
I’m shy, cannot be what you like.
I'm too reserved to be the person you want me to be
(You go down, reached my top anyway
You leave now, I'm still at my peak
I don’t really need this pressure to go
I don't need this stress to disappear
If you wanna find love,
If you're searching for love
If you wanna find something more
If you're looking for something beyond just love
I’ll be the one to run for you.
I'll be the one to chase after what you want
And take shelter (shelter)
Seek protection
Do what you want tonight, it’s alright
Do whatever makes you happy tonight
If you want to get used!
If you're willing to let yourself be taken advantage of
