Song Meaning of “Sanctuary” by Paradise Fears
This song is about searching for a safe haven, seeking refuge from a tumultuous time. It speaks to the human need to be surrounded by security and comfort. The lyrics reflect the idea of journey and a sense of longing for a better life, and for something that can provide peace of mind, a place of comfort: the “sanctuary.”
The narrator is looking for a way to find peace and solace, a sense of purpose and belonging. He reflects on his struggles and fears and how life is constantly changing, yet he is determined to move forward in search of a better life.
The chorus speaks of the possibility of finding that place, that sanctuary from the chaos where he can find his safe place. He’s willing to keep going and take the necessary risk to move on and put the past behind him and move forward.
The song is ultimately a powerful message of hope and strength – that within each of us is an inner strength that allows us to search for and find our sanctuary. Even if it is just an internal sanctuary within us, it can be enough to help us move on to a better, brighter future.
