Shadow My Side
Inviting Shadows: A Tale of Mellowed Moments and Unexpected Adventures
Lyrics
Stop and stare instead
Pause and observe instead
Sticky seats and worn out dreams
Uncomfortable seats and unfulfilled aspirations
And there's a man with a mullet in a tiger robe
Describes a quirky character in a unique outfit
Pulling straws with his favourite mate
Engaging in a random activity with a close friend
And then the men went and mellowed in the morning sun
Men becoming calm in the morning sunlight
Oh my god, oh my god
Expression of surprise or awe
I'd tell you I went up, you'd think I'd made it up
Suggests a personal experience that may be doubted
Oh my god, oh my god
Reiteration of surprise or awe
Oh my god the green light cut my train of thought
Unexpected interruption represented by a green light
Pulled up on the very next side and I'll bear that in mind
Arrived at the next destination, considering the experience
But there never on time
Emphasizes habitual tardiness
Adventure
Reference to excitement or undertaking
And I'm pipped to the post
Just missed achieving something
I don't really care I'm in a world of my own
Indifference, absorbed in one's own world
And wunt' it be nice
Expressing desire for a pleasant day despite constraints
Sunny little day and you're stuck inside, god knows
Acknowledging the irony of a beautiful day spent indoors
I don't really know where this goes
Uncertainty about the direction of life
I just wanna feel invited
Seeking inclusion and acceptance
Everybody loves that feeling
Desire for the universally cherished feeling
Come on baby shadow my side
Inviting someone to share experiences
My Side, my side
Repetition of the invitation
So stop and stare instead
Reiteration of the suggestion to pause and observe
In a gaze we're all the same
Unity in the act of staring
And there's a kid with a medal and a sherbet straw
Depicts a child with a reward and a sweet treat
Laughing at those men before
Child mocking the men from earlier
But the men they we're made up in the morning sun
Men becoming composed in the morning sun
Oh my god, oh my god
Repetition of surprise or awe
He gave him a smile and the boy gave up
Exchange of gestures between two individuals
Oh my god, oh my god
Reiteration of surprise or awe
Oh my god the green light cut my train of thought
Unexpected interruption represented by a green light
Pulled up on the very next side and I'll bear that in mind
Arrived at the next destination, considering the experience
But there never on time
Emphasizes habitual tardiness
Adventure
Reference to excitement or undertaking
And I'm pipped to the post
Just missed achieving something
I don't really care I'm in a world of my own
Indifference, absorbed in one's own world
And wunt' it be nice
Expressing desire for a pleasant day despite constraints
Sunny little day and you're stuck inside, god knows
Acknowledging the irony of a beautiful day spent indoors
I don't really know where this goes
Uncertainty about the direction of life
I just wanna feel invited
Seeking inclusion and acceptance
Everybody loves that feeling
Desire for the universally cherished feeling
Come on baby shadow my side
Inviting someone to share experiences
I don't really know where this goes
Uncertainty about the direction of life
I just wanna feel invited
Seeking inclusion and acceptance
Everybody loves that feeling
Desire for the universally cherished feeling
Come on baby shadow my side
Inviting someone to share experiences
My Side, my side
Repetition of the invitation
