Lyrics
Shadows fall on the wall
Shadows symbolize the hidden aspects of a person's life or emotions.

With the contents in your hand

As you lay back and then we'll go again
Implies a cyclical pattern of behavior, possibly related to a recurring issue.
And I remember how I found
Reflects on the past, recalling a discovery or realization.
You let down
Suggests a moment of vulnerability or disappointment.
And you learned not to make a sound

Get it off your chest

That's casually undressed
