Shadow
Unveiling the Secrets of Being Someone's Shadow
Lyrics
Next time I won't try too hard to try
Will not exert excessive effort in attempting
But I guess that I don't care or really mind
Indifference or lack of concern
But I really want to stand out from the crowd
Desire to be distinctive or noticeable in a crowd
Before it's too late and I'm awake, tonight
Before the opportunity is lost and realization sets in
Silhouette, you will regret
Regret from seeing a vague, dark image of oneself
When the sun sets and I won't help you, no
Refusal to assist when circumstances change
I won't try next time to try
Not making an effort in the future
Cause you're a sore for my poor eyes, oh
Someone unpleasant to look at
I've hidden you
Kept out of sight or concealed
You're gone away
Departed or no longer present
When lights are at play
When there's a playful atmosphere with illumination
I'm your shadow now
Identifying with being a shadow, a follower
I'm your shadow now
Reiteration of identifying as a shadow
Clocks tick back and lights are blurred
Time reverses, vision becomes unclear
'Cause you're so hard to see (I can't see)
Difficulty perceiving or understanding
When I asked if you want to stay
Inquiring about desire to remain present
You said to me, "Not particularly"
Expressed lack of specific interest in staying
You're a sore for my poor eyes
Reiteration of being visually unpleasing
Next time I won't try too hard to try
Future decision not to exert excessive effort
When the day is low and long
When the day feels extended and tiring
And you're longing for the light
Longing for brightness or positivity
To come back
Desire for illumination or clarity
