Shadow Man
Embracing Darkness: Maria Hubbel's Shadow Man Unveils a Surrender to Despair
Lyrics
My eyes are open but I just can't move
Feeling paralyzed, unable to move despite being awake.
Taken from reality that I once knew
Separated from the reality that was once familiar.
My body's stuck in place and my heart starts
Physically immobile, experiencing a racing heart.
to race
Anxiety or fear intensifying, indicated by a racing heart.
Cause I know I'm not alone
Awareness of not being alone in the situation.
He's getting closer, I can see him now
Perceiving the approach of the Shadow Man.
His skin is faded and black as coal
Describing the Shadow Man with dark and faded skin.
The Shadow Man is here once again, only this time he's not gonna leave alone
The Shadow Man's return with a more ominous presence.
Go ahead and take my soul, I'm cashed out
Acceptance of losing one's soul, feeling depleted.
Took away all that was left of my sanity
Reference to the loss of sanity, perhaps due to the Shadow Man.
When will someone wake me from this dream
Desire for someone to wake the singer from the distressing dream.
So many waking moments, moments when I think that I've escaped this hellhole
Moments of relief or escape, but still trapped in a challenging situation.
My will is growing weak, there's no fight left in me
Diminished willpower, feeling defeated and powerless.
The time has come to surrender my soul
Acceptance of surrendering one's soul to the Shadow Man.
I'm in the arms of the shadow man
In the clutches of the Shadow Man, implying a darker influence.
He whispers everything will soon be over
Whispers suggesting an impending end to the singer's ordeal.
He tells me not to weep, that my soul is his to keep
The Shadow Man asserting ownership of the singer's soul.
There's no escape from the devil's soldier
No escape from a malevolent force represented by the devil's soldier.
Go ahead and take my soul, I'm cashed out
Reiteration of being willing to surrender the soul.
Took away all that was left of my sanity
Reinforcing the loss of sanity and feeling emotionally drained.
When will someone wake me from this dream
Yearning for release from the tormenting dream.
I don't wanna go
Expressing a reluctance to face a distressing situation.
Please don't leave me now
Pleading not to be abandoned in a difficult moment.
Don't forsake me, don't let me die before I wake
Appeal to not be forsaken and a desire to survive.
Go ahead and take my soul, I'm cashed out
Reiteration of willingness to surrender the soul.
Took away all that was left of my sanity
Recalling the loss of sanity and emotional depletion.
Come and take what's left of who I was
Inviting the Shadow Man to take what remains of the singer's identity.
Hey yeah, Shadow man
An acknowledgment or direct address to the Shadow Man.
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Repetition of acknowledging the presence of the Shadow Man.
