Shadow
Embracing Shadows: A Journey through Darkness and Redemption
Lyrics
I can't get away from the shadow at my door
I feel trapped by a persistent problem symbolized as a shadow at my doorstep.
I'm trying to escape 'cause he's always asking for more
I am attempting to escape because this issue constantly demands more from me.
He doesn't say please 'cause demand is all he knows
The problem is relentless and doesn't ask politely; it only understands demanding.
Demanding my time, my tears, and all of my goals
This issue demands my time, emotions (tears), and aspirations (goals).
He offers his hand, pretends to be something else
The problem disguises itself and I, in ignorance, stand in need of assistance.
Naively I stand, unaware I'm in need of help
I follow its lead, underestimating the potential harm.
Still, I follow his lead thinking how bad could it be
I continue to follow, underestimating the severity of the situation.
Too blind to realize the darkness drowning me
Blind to the darkness engulfing me, I fail to realize the gravity of the situation.
Can't get away
The struggle to escape persists.
But I can't live like this forever
Although I can't escape now, I can't endure this forever.
What's there to do I swear I've tried it all
Despite trying everything, no solution seems apparent.
Again
A repetitive cycle of facing the issue again.
But I'm losing a little of my hope of seeing this end
The ongoing challenge diminishes my hope for a resolution.
He comes late at night when I think I'm all alone
The problem resurfaces late at night or during idle moments.
He comes when I'm bored doing nothing at home
The issue appears when I'm least occupied.
Refuses to leave til he gets that which he thirsts
It refuses to leave until it satisfies its desires.
An eye for an eye but much, much worse
A vengeful exchange, where the cost is much higher than an eye for an eye.
The truth of it is, we both know who is at blame
Both parties are aware of the blame, but it's not straightforward.
The truth pleases one and floods the other with shame
The truth is satisfying for one but brings shame to the other.
Which one am I, I wonder again
The narrator questions which side they belong to, adding uncertainty.
But knowing the truth, this lie never ends
Despite knowing the truth, the deception continues without resolution.
Can't get away
The struggle to escape persists.
But I can't live like this forever
While unable to escape immediately, the narrator can't endure this indefinitely.
What's there to do, I swear I've tried it all
Despite attempts, finding a solution remains elusive.
Again
A repetition of facing the problem again.
But I'm losing a little of my hope
The ongoing challenge erodes hope further.
I'm losing a little of my hope
The narrator acknowledges a gradual loss of hope.
Of seeing this end
The hope for resolution is fading.
