What do you think of my interpretation of Bob Dylan’s song, “Shelter From the Storm”?

Asked by gondwanalon (22873points) June 29th, 2022

Others have said that the song reflects sadness of not knowing what you’ve got until it’s gone.

I think it’s about refusing to give in when the going gets tough.
The storm represents life’s struggles. The pain and sacrifice we go through in efforts to reach goals and achieve our dreams.

To take shelter from life’s storm is like giving up and escaping life’s reality.

Over and over we get tempted to take our eye off our goals and take shelter form life especially when pressure and pain mount up on us. Just like in the song there’s a voice within us that tells us to stop and take shelter from the storm. But if we do then we give up and become weaker.
