The lyrics of Wagon Christ's song Shadows are open to interpretation, but they seem to be evoking a sense of darkness and foreboding. The repetition of the word "shadows" creates a mood of unease, as if the singer is being followed by unseen terrors. The line "you walk beside a shadow" adds a personal element to the song, as if the singer is warning the listener that they too may be pursued.
The use of the word "darkness" adds to the sense of threat, as if the shadows themselves are malevolent. The line "follows quiet shadows" suggests that the danger is silent and stealthy, and that the singer is in danger even when there seems to be no immediate threat.
Overall, the lyrics of Shadows are minimalist but effective in creating a mood of menace and suspense. The repetition of the word "shadows" is particularly effective in establishing a sense of unease, while the line "you walk beside a shadow" adds an element of personal vulnerability to the song.
