Shadow Walk
Embracing Shadows: DZ Deathrays' Journey of Obsession and Liberation
Lyrics
What kind of hell I raised?
Questioning the consequences or impact of one's actions and choices.
Obsessed till I'm d.e.a.d.
Expressing an intense level of dedication or fixation, even to the point of death.
The more I try to embrace it
Acknowledging an attempt to accept or adapt to a situation.
The more it tries to swallow me
Highlighting resistance or struggle against the situation, which seems overwhelming.
As soon as I walk away
Noticing the persistent connection or influence of one's own darkness or flaws.
My shadow follows me
Emphasizing the inescapable nature of personal challenges, symbolized by the shadow.
As soon as I walk away
Reiterating the constant presence of inner struggles, even when trying to move away.
It follows me around
Stressing the continuous impact of personal issues on daily life.
Count down, look around
Encouraging self-reflection and awareness by counting down and looking around.
Hands up like I'm drowning in the sea
Feeling overwhelmed and raising hands in a metaphorical drowning scenario.
More attention, reinvention
Desiring more attention and a need for reinvention, but facing constant challenges.
Nothing will ever just let me be
Expressing the difficulty of finding peace or solitude due to external factors.
Ever since I was a child
Reflecting on challenges faced since childhood.
Left to the wild
Describing a childhood left untamed or unrestrained.
Like a dog let off its chain
Comparing oneself to a dog off its chain, suggesting freedom and rebellion.
It tries to set me free
Expressing the desire for freedom, despite the challenges faced.
But then it captures me
Acknowledging the paradox of freedom, as it can also be confining or problematic.
I live to play the game
Stating a willingness to engage in life's challenges, framed as a game.
