Shadow
Aina Abdul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I were to steal all the times that you've been given
I swear I won't waste not even a single moment
But to be in your arms while we still got the chance
Cause missing you like this it hurts so bad

I see myself dying every time I watch you goin'
But there's nothing I could do to change your last decision
I keep asking myself what I'm doing here?
Cause things won't go the way I l've always wanted

You told me that I'm your everything
But why can't you stay and keep fighting for me
Why
Baby
Why

Guess I'll be living in your shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
I want you
Shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
Baby you

If I would've missed all the chances we've been given
Know I'd be living in the world so miserable
Yes I am without you
Yes I do without you

You told me that I'm your everything
Why can't you stay and keep fighting for me
Why
Baby
Why

Guess I'll be living in your shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
Baby you
Guess I'll be living in your shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
I want you

You knew It's gonna hurt me so bad
But why you keep asking me to stay strong for us
As if there's still hope for us
You left me hanging over your text
I feel like I'd die till the day you're fully mine

Guess I'll be living in your shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
I want you
Shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
Why
Guess I'll be living in your shadow
Forever you'll be my halo
I want you
Shadow
Forever you'll be my halo




Baby you
You

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aina Abdul's song "Shadow" are about the pain of loving someone who cannot be fully committed to the relationship. In the first verse, the singer expresses her willingness to cherish every moment if she could steal the time that the person has been given. She longs to be in the person's arms while they still have the chance because the pain of missing them is too much to bear.


However, in the second verse, the singer acknowledges that there is nothing she can do to change the other person's decision, and she questions her own presence in the relationship because things are not going as she had hoped. She wonders why the person cannot stay and fight for their love, even though they have told her that she is their everything.


The chorus repeats the phrases "guess I'll be living in your shadow, forever you'll be my halo," suggesting that the singer is content to be in the person's shadow, but still wants to be near them. She feels like she is missing a part of herself without them, and even though they are not together, she is still holding onto the hope that they will be together someday.


Overall, the lyrics evoke a feeling of longing and unrequited love, as the singer grapples with the pain of being in love with someone who cannot fully commit to the relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

If I were to steal all the times that you've been given
If I could turn back the clock and relive all the moments you've experienced


I swear I won't waste not even a single moment
I promise I would make the most of every single second


But to be in your arms while we still got the chance
I would give anything to hold you close right now


Cause missing you like this it hurts so bad
Being apart from you is a pain that I can barely handle


I see myself dying every time I watch you goin'
Every time you leave, it feels like a little part of me is dying


But there's nothing I could do to change your last decision
I know deep down that you've made up your mind, and there's nothing I can do to change it


I keep asking myself what I'm doing here?
I can't help but wonder why I'm still holding on when it feels like you're slipping away


Cause things won't go the way I've always wanted
I'm starting to realize that things may not turn out the way I've always hoped they would


You told me that I'm your everything
You made me feel like I was the most important person in the world to you


But why can't you stay and keep fighting for me
I don't understand why you can't put up a fight to keep our love alive


Why
I'm desperately searching for an explanation


Baby
My affectionate term of endearment for you


Guess I'll be living in your shadow
I know that I'll never be able to fully escape the memory of you


Forever you'll be my halo
But at the same time, you'll always have a special place in my heart


I want you
I still want to be with you, despite everything


If I would've missed all the chances we've been given
If I had let any opportunities slip by


Know I'd be living in the world so miserable
My life would be empty and full of sorrow


Yes I am without you
I'm lost and incomplete without you


Yes I do without you
But somehow, I need to find a way to continue living without you


You knew It's gonna hurt me so bad
You were aware that leaving me would cause me immense pain and suffering


But why you keep asking me to stay strong for us
Despite your knowledge of how much I'm hurting, you keep insisting that I remain hopeful and resilient for our love's sake


As if there's still hope for us
But I'm starting to think that the hope for us is fleeting or non-existent


You left me hanging over your text
You left me in suspense and uncertainty with your vague message


I feel like I'd die till the day you're fully mine
The longing and desire for you is so strong that it feels like it could kill me


Why
Once again, I'm searching for answers


Guess I'll be living in your shadow
I can't escape your memory, even if I try


Forever you'll be my halo
But at the same time, you'll always be a symbol of light and hope in my life


Baby you
Despite everything, I still love and care for you deeply
