about

There are three parts to this song:
Part 1 tackles the need to have your very own space, whether it is in your head or whether it is in a certain room. It's about having a dojo where you can be yourself, and nobody can really question what you do.

Part 2 is meant to calm the slightly paranoid view of the lyrics by saying that there are some horrible people, but overall, we should have to fear them. Some of them don't want us to. Some invite the real us, while others can't seem to process it.

Part 3 is Rosie Teaflower tying the song's theme of community vs. protection through reclusiveness with a quote where she talks about the fact that despite who people think we are, at the end of the day, it matters less because we can be our own family.

lyrics

I'll run and hide
From the sharpest knives
That'll carve my dreams to nightmares
I'll sacrifice
My social life
As if they'd even care
Everything's here

My memories here
My freedom is here
Even I'm here
Sometimes, I dread the day I leave this place
I call my sanctuary

Decorate my temple
Preserve my fragile mental
Make this my world
I'm dreading with annoyance
The ones who will destroy this
A place I call home

Nothing to explain
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain
Everything's the same
That's how it will maintain




I'm visiting the ones I love
Take a road down to the ones I love

Ain't no love like the one you have for yourself. No protection like the ones you have for your own being. Just remember people respond to the distance you give them. Give them an inch, they don't want it. They want the amount of inches that'll bring themselves closer to you. You shouldn't at all be worried about the ones who aim to come to you with attacks. They're looking for someone to break, just so they won't feel like the only broken ones there. Someone to shatter. The ones that matter are the ones who sees you as a work of art, even when you are damaged. Who knows you are a fixer upper, but doesn't use you as merely a project for their needs. They see you.
