Box and The Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is aspirin white
I found myself by the window
With my heart beating
Outside the world is sinking
Comets falling from the sky
I find myself by the window
Hand in hand the world like shadows
Drifting blind into the night always leering
Won't be safe this time
But for us, it felt just right
Hand in hand we were like shadows
Drifting blind into the night always leering
Won't be safe this time
But for us, it felt just right
Inside my heart is silent
Nothing echoes anymore
I find myself by the window
With my hope fading
Inside my heart arе ruins
Everything is falling apart
I find myself by the mirror
Hand in hand wе were like shadows
Drifting blind into the night always leering
Won't be safe this time
But for us, it felt just right
Hand in hand we were like shadows
Drifting blind into the night always leering
Won't be safe this time
But for us, it felt just right hand in hand
We were like shadows
Drifting blind into the night
The lyrics of “Shadows” by Box and The Twins describe a sense of detachment and disassociation from the outside world. In the opening verse, the singer sees the world as drowning and everything as aspirin white, suggesting a feeling of overwhelming numbness. The second verse adds to this feeling of chaos with comets falling from the sky. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope as the singer describes feeling connected and safe with another person, like shadows drifting blind into the night. The last verse, though, returns to the sense of internal devastation with the singer’s heart silent, and everything falling apart. Through it all, there is a yearning for connection and safety, even if it is only fleeting.
The theme of this song centers on the idea of feeling disconnected from the world around and finding solace in the shared experiences with someone else; the singer's longing for safety is symbolic of a deeper desire for protection and security. The imagery of shadows, drifting into the night, and leering all give a sense of being lost and without direction but still strangely comforted by the companionship of another. The song's lyrics describe feelings of melancholy, detachment, and a longing for something to hold on to in the midst of chaos.
