Shelter From The Calm

from What It Is, Too by Andrew Newton

/

about

The oldest song on the album, written several years before the rest, but a good taste of what's to come with the new project on the horizon.

Quite often the Sun is used as a metaphor for truth, beauty, the positive, things getting better. For years I fond of the idea of the sun as a hot, deadly, blinding entity. Sometimes life gets too stagnant, we crave change, we crave action, we crave a storm, a shelter from the calm.

lyrics

Leaves begin to fall with the autumn wind
The howl of a siren song
Engages me again, like an ocean floor
To a ship, and its course gone wrong.

Lead me out the door, and my face is cold.
My eyes harbour freezing tears.
Man against the chill, and the violent storm.
The rage of a thousand years.

Carry me, carry me
To a shelter from the calm.

Clouds begin to fade into clear blue skies
And all the birds begin to sing.
Calmness overhead, and I can't deny
The pain that the sun can bring.

Carry me, carry me
To a shelter from the calm.

Ocean to the mountain, prairie to the ice.
Safe from the dullness of time.

Time to take me home to my lover's arms.
That's where the answer lies...
