Peter Silberman of The Antlers explained the song's meaning to The Line of Best Fit: "With 'Refuge,' I was really trying to write what home is, what that idea is. Home is kind of a feeling, more than it is a place. It's a different location for every single person. For instance, someone's house might not be their home. Home is just created like a state of mind that you carry with you. When you feel far from home or that safety, then it's kind of a scary place to be in life.
