Shelter
mod sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your my shelter from everything
My medicine
So much better than therapy
I'm swerving in to oncoming traffic then you grab the wheel
I'm turning in to what I hate so broken, but you help me heal
And the night feels like forever
When I am cold and I'm falling apart
You safety pin me back together
You let me in
You're my shelter from everything
My medicine
So much better than therapy
When I'm feeling like shit
Wanna drive off a cliff
When I hate my own skin you take care of me
You let me in
You're my shelter from everything
Suddenly, I contemplate
What it's like to breathe underwater (breathe underwater)
I orchestrate a sad parade
The end doesn't seem so much farther
When all my bright sides are turning so dark (so dark)
And the night feels like forever
When you are cold and you're falling apart
I safety-pin you back together
And you let me in
You're my shelter from everything
My medicine
So much better than therapy
When I'm feeling like shit
Wanna drive off a cliff
When I hate my own skin you take care of me
You let me in
You're my shelter from everything
Oh-oh, oh-oh please, don't ever
Go-oh, go-oh, please, don't ever go
And you let me in
You're my shelter from everything (everything)
My medicine
So much better than therapy
When I'm feeling like shit (like shit)
Wanna drive off a cliff (cliff)
When I hate my own skin you take care of me (you take care of me)
You let me in
You're my shelter from everything
Oh-oh, oh-oh please, don't ever
Go-oh, go-oh, please, don't ever go
The song "Shelter" by Mod Sun is a heartfelt tribute to the person who serves as a source of comfort and security for the singer during difficult times. In the first verse, the singer expresses how their lover has become their metaphorical shelter from everything that worries and frightens them; even more effective than therapy. The second verse goes on to echo this sentiment, describing how the singer feels lost and broken, but their partner helps them heal.
The chorus amplifies the emotions that the singer feels about their partner, proclaiming that they let them in and become their shelter from everything, a medicine that is much better than any form of therapy. The third verse is a contemplative one, with the singer admitting that they sometimes consider driving off a cliff during dark moments. However, their partner takes care of them and serves as the anchor that keeps them grounded.
The song is an ode to finding solace in the arms of a loved one; someone who can help navigate the challenges of life. It speaks to the power of human connection and how it can make a world of difference when dealing with our inner demons.

Mod and Avril sounded like they really had a deep connection to make a song like this. It's sad they broke up so soon after this album dropped
