Diving into the depths of human psyche, this hauntingly beautiful track explores themes of isolation, introspection and existentialism. The lyrics suggest a journey from empathy to apathy, where the protagonist once carried others' burdens but now feels detached. The repeated phrase "shadow on the sun" could symbolize a dark presence in an otherwise bright existence - perhaps depression or inner turmoil. The song also touches upon insanity and mortality, suggesting that these are inevitable facets of life that everyone must grapple with. Overall, it's a poignant commentary on the human condition, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we're not alone in our struggles.
Shadow on the Sun
Lyrics
Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done, never to return
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun
Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun
Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun
Sun, sun
