Yet another 80s-reminiscent synth pop offering from Allie X, “Sanctuary” is a touching tribute to someone who offers Allie security and protection from the cruel world. Her sweet, earnest vocals match the warm, fuzzy feeling of the song, perfectly combined with a soft, ethereal atmosphere.
In a Twe...
[Verse 1]
When the leaning tower falls to the ground
When the hearsay is too much to think about
And they think that they've got you figured out
It's a rude world, it's a vicious world
[Pre-Chorus]
When they're throwing stones
There's a place I know
I can always go
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
And the Saints all dance to the trumpet sounds
With apocalypse faces in the crowd
There's only one thing left that matters now
When it's all wrong
I need someone
[Pre-Chorus]
When they're throwing stones
There's a place I know
I can always go
[Chorus]
To my sanctuary, baby, where I run
And when the streets are burnin', 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
[Bridge]
Tied up!
Next to a lightning rod
Lined up!
I'll cross a firing squad
If I’m beside you
Our hearts are enemy proof
Nothing's getting through
[Pre-Chorus]
When they're throwing stones
There's a place I know
I can always go
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Tied up!
Next to a lightning rod
Lined up!
I'll cross a firing squad
If I'm beside you
Our hearts are enemy-proof
Nothing's getting through
