Niagara Falls - "Slave To The Traffic Light"

It ain't easy street .mp3

"Shelter in the Storm" is a poignant alternative rock ballad exploring love as a sanctuary amid global chaos. Verses paint a world of burning cities, wars, and division, contrasting with choruses celebrating intimate refuge and unbreakable bonds. Building from sparse introspection to anthemic hope, it captures vulnerability turning to triumph.

Lyrics

**Title: Shelter in the Storm**

**[Verse 1]**  
The cities burn under darkened skies,  
Sirens scream through the endless night,  
Leaders fall, and the rivers run dry,  
We're all just shadows chasing the light.  
Screens flicker with a thousand cries,  
Hearts locked away in the digital fight.  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
But in your eyes, I see the break of dawn,  
A quiet fire where the cold winds are gone.  

**[Chorus]**  
You're my shelter in the storm,  
When the world falls apart, you're the calm I hold on.  
In this broken parade, we build our own throne,  
Love's the only home, the only home we know.  
Oh-oh-oh, shelter in the storm!  

**[Verse 2]**  
Wars on the waves, and the ice starts to crack,  
Promises shatter like glass in the black,  
We're drifting alone on this infinite track,  
But your hand in mine pulls me right back.  
Forgotten dreams in the rearview fade,  
Together we rise from the mess that they've made.  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
In your arms, the chaos turns to dust,  
A sacred space where the broken trust.  

**[Chorus]**  
You're my shelter in the storm,  
When the world falls apart, you're the calm I hold on.  
In this broken parade, we build our own throne,  
Love's the only home, the only home we know.  
Oh-oh-oh, shelter in the storm!  

**[Verse 3]**  
Crowds march in fury, the flags tear apart,  
Roars of anger pierce straight through the heart,  
Borders divide what was once beating as one,  
But here in our silence, the battle is done.  
Whispers of hope in the flickering screen,  
Your voice cuts the darkness, the clearest I've seen.  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
When the thunder rolls in and the anchors won't hold,  
Your love is the story yet to be told.  

**[Chorus]**  
You're my shelter in the storm,  
When the world falls apart, you're the calm I hold on.  
In this broken parade, we build our own throne,  
Love's the only home, the only home we know.  
Oh-oh-oh, shelter in the storm!  

**[Verse 4]**  
Stars hide their faces behind smoke and flame,  
Lost in the wreckage, we call out your name,  
Time slips like sand through these trembling hands,  
But your touch rewrites all of our plans.  
From the ashes we carve out a world of our own,  
Two souls unbreakable, forever we've grown.  

**[Bridge]**  
What if the skies never clear again?  
What if the fire consumes every friend?  
We'll stand unbroken, through the pouring rain,  
'Cause in your heartbeat, I find my amen.  

**[Final Chorus]**  
You're my shelter (shelter!), in the storm,  
World falls apart, but we're never alone.  
Broken parade, our throne made of stone,  
Love's the only home... (oh-oh-oh)  
Shelter in the storm!  
(We're the light, we're the fight, in the storm...)

Stash "Ventura" Box Set - 7/30/97 Ventura, CA

In a career spanning thirty years, Phish became one of the most significant live music phenomena of all time. On the basis of word-of-mouth about their performances—with virtually no radio or video support—the band grew from playing club gigs along their native East Coast to drawing 100,000 music fans to remote corners of the country. At every turn, Phish managed to win over newcomers and casual fans as well as maintain the loyalty of their devotees with a singularly broad repertoire, virtuosity, and by making a unique event of each show.
