Shadowman
Unveiling the Shadows: George Murphy's Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Just stop and think what's going on in your life
Reflect on the current events and circumstances in your life.
Stop running away and hiding
Stop avoiding and concealing; confront the issues.
It's getting ya nowhere
Your current actions are not leading you anywhere positive.
Ya get drunk to forget and pretend
Using alcohol to escape reality and pretend everything is okay.
that everything's fine you're too cool to care
Pretending to be indifferent and detached, avoiding concern.
You're a lunatic
Describing the person as behaving irrationally or crazily.
Who are you now
Pondering the identity or state of the person in question.
You're not there, lost in a spell
Expressing a sense of absence or being mentally absent.
You're just a shadow man
Referring to the person as a mere shadow, lacking substance.
So where’d it all go wrong
Questioning when and how things went awry.
Why am I singing you this song
Posing the question of why the singer is addressing the listener with this song.
To bring you back from the brink I think you're losing it
Expressing concern about the listener's deteriorating mental state.
and I'm tired of watching you sinking
Feeling fatigue from witnessing the listener's decline.
Time is flying by but you're standing still,
Time is passing swiftly, but the listener remains stagnant.
clutching on to that little bit of hope, don't let it go
Advising to hold onto the last bit of hope and not let it go.
Who are you now
Reiterating the sense of the person's absence or disconnection.
You're not there, lost in a spell
Emphasizing the idea that the person is under the influence of a spell or mental state.
You're just a shadow man
Reiterating the characterization of the person as a shadow.
And when the shadow turns into the light
Anticipating a positive change when the person emerges from darkness.
and ya step out of the darkness
Describing the transition from darkness to light.
The sun is shining bright
Highlighting a brighter, more positive future.
You will know
Assuring that realization will come with stepping into the light.
You will know-o-ow
Repetition for emphasis on the certainty of realization.
Who are you now
Restating the theme of the person's absence or detachment.
You're not there, lost in a spell
Reiterating the idea that the person is under the influence of a spell or mental state.
You're just a shadow man
Repeating the characterization of the person as a shadow.
