Sanctuary
architect's eye Lyrics

"Sanctuary" by Architect's Eye is a song that paints a picture of a place where the singer can escape the chaos of the outside world. The first verse describes how the singer seeks refuge in this place when the noise and commotion fades away. It's a place where they can truly find peace and rest. However, the second verse reveals that even though the singer has found sanctuary, the outside world still tries to reach them. They can still see the malicious smiles of those who wish to harm them, but they cannot get past the barriers of this sanctuary.

The lyrics in the chorus of the song emphasize that the place the singer has found is a place for those who are rejected and forgotten by the world. It's where forsaken lovers meet, and where the first scene of a long journey was shot. The singer can stay there and hide for as long as they want, but visitors are not allowed. Despite this, the outside world still keeps knocking on the door, but they can't get through.

The final verse reveals that this sanctuary is a place of self-harm, where the singer uses a razor blade to soothe their soul. It may be a dark place, but it's the only place where the singer can find relief. The last lines say, "because there is only one exit," which suggests that this sanctuary is a place that the singer may have to leave someday, either by choice or by force, but for now, it's the only exit from the chaos of the outside world.
