In Your Shadow
Condition K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the glory days
All the things that made me hollow
Don't want to feel the pain
Nothing left to gain
Searching for a perfect sorrow
All the tides will change
Even in your world so shallow
It'll be okay
Don't be afraid
Your father lost his soul
Yea - your mine
Hail to the father
Hail to the mother
Falling forever
In your shadow
Hail to the father
Hail to the sinner
Burning forever
In your shadow
Im gonna give away
Burning all that scathes
Love is bitter
When i follow
Don't wanna feel the pain
I've only lost my way
Its my soul that you will swallow
I'm gonna bring you down
Gonna steal your crown
Even if theres no tomorrow
It'll be okay
Don't be afraid
Your father lost his soul
Yea - you're mine
Hail to the father
Hail to the mother
Falling forever
In your shadow
Hail to the father
Hail to the sinner
Burning forever
In your shadow
We ... fall ... in your shadow
Get away feel no pain another day in your shadow
At its core, "In Your Shadow" is about the pain and trauma caused by a toxic relationship, with the lyrics detailing the struggle to break free from the grasp of someone who has caused deep emotional wounds.

The second verse takes a more aggressive approach, with lines like "I'm gonna bring you down, gonna steal your crown" conveying a sense of empowerment and a willingness to fight back against the person who has caused so much pain. The bridge of the song is particularly haunting, with the repeated refrain of "Hail to the father, hail to the mother" almost sounding like a ritualistic chant.
Overall, "In Your Shadow" is a powerful song that explores the complexities of toxic relationships and the emotional scars they can leave behind.
