shame 25,360 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 A while ago, I rediscovered an artist called Allie X and developed a pretty strong emotional connection with her song "Sanctuary". Every time I hear it, my gay heart explodes with pride.Ā The lyrics talk about seeking comfort with a special someone and how love can make one invincible despite what others say or do. Imo, I think it's very symbolic of the stigma and discrimination gay couples must persist against all around the world, and howĀ it's much easier to cope when we have someone to share our love and experiences.Ā When they're throwing stones There's a place I know I can always go To my sanctuary, baby, where I run And when the streets are burning baby And I know If they come with torches Cause they don't like the truth They can't hurt me when I'm with you You're my sanctuary, baby And I know I'm home, I'm home If Iām beside you Our hearts are enemy proof Nothing's getting through Spoiler Or actually, "sanctuary" can just be a symbol of da gheyĀ clubĀ Anyway, the lyrics always get to me and I just feel so free and fearless when I jam to it. What are some songs that you feel a strong connection to or develop your own interpretation of? angels forever, forever angels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trxstan 1,568 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Honestly, this is probably one of favorite songs because you can tell she's singing with such a passion and energy that usually isn't in studio versions. I've always interpreted this song as 'do you want to know me for who I am' sort of thing, like will you accept me for who I am. It feels so powerful and angry and I live for that. Plus I was officially a stan in ARTPOP and it was the first album I've ever bought so it has a special meaning to me.Ā Spoiler or it's just another song about sexĀ Ā woop hey there keep scrolling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
