In the Shadows
Embracing Shadows: Unspoken Struggles in the Night
Lyrics
We both take the hardest punches
We both endure significant challenges and difficulties.
And collect black eyes just to prove it
We intentionally face hardships, even physical ones, as a way to prove our strength.
Still we pass by just like strangers
Despite our shared experiences, we pass each other like strangers.
And we speak just like the closest enemies
We communicate in a hostile manner, similar to how enemies would, despite appearing close.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
We navigate through the darker aspects of our lives.
We can fall into the night unscarred
We can face challenges in the night without being emotionally wounded.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
Similar to line 6, reiterating the idea that we can handle difficulties in the shadows.
We can never let it go this far
We must not allow things to escalate to an irreparable extent.
Somehow my words are rendered useless
Despite speaking, my words have little impact or meaning.
Still I pull my lip down to my chest
I express frustration or helplessness through physical gestures.
Just to show you how my jaw is
Showcasing the physical toll of waiting to express important sentiments.
Tired from waiting to say the things that you should hear (you should hear)
Tired of waiting to say crucial things that you need to hear.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
Reiteration of facing challenges in the darker aspects of life.
We can fall into the night unscarred
We can go through difficulties at night without being emotionally scarred.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
Similar to line 16, emphasizing the ability to handle challenges in the shadows.
We can never let it go this far
Warning against allowing situations to reach an irreversible state.
After all we're still the same
Despite everything, we remain unchanged or unimproved.
These empty promises seem to never change
Repeated disappointment in promises that never seem to be fulfilled.
there's a smile on my face and it's 2:55 AM
Describing a moment with a smile at an odd hour, possibly indicating irony or hidden emotions.
and this cramp in my wrist puts me back asleep till it all comes around again
Physical discomfort (cramp) distracts, temporarily alleviated by sleep until the cycle repeats.
WITH A CLOSED FIST!
Repetition of "WITH A CLOSED FIST!" suggests frustration or aggression.
WITH A CLOSED FIST!
-WITH A CLOSED FIST!
-WITH A CLOSED FIST!
-Woah, in the shadows of our life
Reiteration of facing challenges in the darker aspects of life.
We can fall into the night unscarred
We can confront difficulties at night without lasting emotional harm.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
Similar to line 31, emphasizing the ability to handle challenges in the shadows.
We can never let it go this far
Warning against allowing situations to escalate to an irreversible extent.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
Reiteration of facing challenges in the darker aspects of life.
We can fall into the night unscarred
We can navigate through difficulties at night without being emotionally scarred.
Woah, in the shadows of our life
Similar to line 36, emphasizing the ability to handle challenges in the shadows.
We can never let it go this far
Warning against allowing situations to reach an irreversible state.
