Casting Shadows
A Thousand Falling Skies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For every ounce of blood I shed
I poured my heart out
On Paper Stenciled Lies (x2)
Shower me with blankets of love
And turn your face and walk away
You will never be part of my life (x2)
FOREVER TEARS FALL (x2)
You'll never be part of me
And i'll never be part of you
I'd pay a lifetime to be by your side (x2)
FOREVER TEARS FALL (X2)
I'd pay a lifetime to be by your side (x2)
The lyrics of "Casting Shadows" by A Thousand Falling Skies express a sense of deep pain and hurt resulting from unrequited love. The lyrics begin with the lines "For every ounce of blood I shed, I poured my heart out, on paper stenciled lies," which can be interpreted as the singer investing all their emotions and love into something that ended up being false or deceitful. The lines that follow, "Shower me with blankets of love, and turn your face and walk away, leave me with shadows off in the distance," further reinforce the sense of betrayal and abandonment the singer is feeling.
The refrain of "You will never be part of my life" echoes the message of separation and the acceptance that things can never be the way they were. The lines "I'd pay a lifetime to be by your side" express the longing and desperation of the singer to be with the person they love, despite the impossibility of it happening. The repetition of the line "Forever tears fall" strengthens the overall theme of sadness and heartbreak.
Overall, "Casting Shadows" is a powerful and emotional song that explores the pain and longing that comes with unrequited love.
