The lyrics reflect a profound exploration of inner turmoil and existential despair. The narrative delves into the experience of feeling trapped in a cycle of desolation and fear, where shadows symbolize overwhelming negative emotions that encroach upon the individual's psyche. The protagonist grapples with sleeplessness and a mind mired in past tragedies, leading to a sense of insanity and hopelessness. The recurring theme of "resenting the light within" suggests a loss of hope and surrender to darkness. The song also touches on the philosophical conundrum of identity and purpose, epitomized in the phrase "I think, therefore I am," questioning the nature of existence and perceived reality. Ultimately, the embrace of shadows and the yearning for peace through sleep signifies a profound resignation to inner darkness, with fleeting moments of self-compassion restrained by the fear of abandonment.
Shadows
Lyrics
Lost in a cycle,
Born of desolation
Fear has become my only friend,
As the shadows creep up on me,
The sleeplessness ceases to end
In the gloom of the night my mind lingers in tragedy,
Tending to dwell on the past, susceptible to insanity
How did these shadows find me?
What do they want from me?
Though I doubt anything I give will satisfy their needs
I resent the light within me,
Giving in to these shadows
This degradation flows into my very being,
The thought of reparation drains me of all feeling
I think, therefore I am
But what am I supposed to be?
This life has taught my eyes to never truly see
I resent the light within me,
Giving in to these shadows
Holding in my own compassion,
For fear of being left behind
And now I'm broken, I lie in torment,
My world is dead and so am I,
Now I've spoken, so leave me dormant,
Woe is me, O' misery
Staring into this illusion,
Will I be free of my delusion?
Shadows embrace me,
The dark consumes me,
And when I finally sleep,
I will be at peace
I resent the light within me,
Giving in to these shadows
Holding in my own compassion
For fear of being left behind
Left behind
I think, therefore I am
I think, therefore I am
