A Shadow Falls on Me
Eternal Shadows: Gary Numan's haunting journey through longing and resilience
Lyrics
Every time I felt that I understand
Expressing a sense of understanding or clarity in certain moments.
A shadow falls on me takes it away
A sense of darkness or negativity interrupts the understanding or clarity.
Every time I try to walk away
Attempting to distance oneself, but encountering a metaphorical shadow that prevents it.
A shadow falls on me tells me to stay
The shadow, representing an unseen influence, advises or compels to stay rather than walk away.
When will it end? When will it end?
Pondering and questioning when the cycle of disruption and shadows will come to an end.
Every time I dream you will come home
Dreaming of a return or reunion, but the shadow interferes, leading to waking up alone.
A shadow falls on me, wake up alone
The shadow falling on the dream causes a solitary awakening.
Every time I scream for someone to blame
Screaming for accountability or someone to blame, yet the shadow intervenes, leading to isolation.
A shadow falls on me, whispers my name
The shadow, with a whisper, associates itself with the speaker's name during moments of distress.
When will it end? When will it end?
Repeating the question of when the disruptive influence and shadows will cease.
Every time I wake, locked in this room
Upon waking, feeling confined or trapped, with the shadow dictating that it's too soon to be free.
A shadow falls on me tells me too soon
The shadow continues to influence and guide, even in moments of awakening.
Every time I die, lead by your cry
Death is accompanied by the cry of someone significant, and the shadow ensures the speaker remains alive.
A shadow falls on me and keeps me alive
The paradoxical concept of the shadow preserving life even in the face of death.
When will it end? When will it end?
Reiterating the desire for an end to the persistent influence of shadows and disruption.
