Dreadful Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot jump that nigh to overcome
Too many hidden ways - their destination is the same
Which way is wrong and which is right
Sometimes I wish I had a choice
To end or to begin
Sometimes I wish I could live on my own
But nothing's breaking through the walls inside
All the dreams remain behind
All the voices fade away
I'm falling into nothingness of life
I don't care about the time
I don't need to understand
There's no confusion in my mind but the clarity is gone
I hope you'll never ask about tomorrow
My abandoned ship is carried by the current
I cannot fight against it and I cannot force it
Sometimes I wish I had a choice
To end or to begin
Sometimes I wish I could live on my own
But nothing's breaking through the walls inside
All the dreams remain behind
All the voices fade away
I'm falling into nothingness of life
I don't care about the time
I don't need to understand
The lyrics to Dreadful Shadows' song "Exile" are intensely introspective and speak to the contradictory nature of the human psyche. The singer laments the "barrier" that exists within his own mind, preventing him from achieving his goals and finding his place in the world. He notes that there are "too many hidden ways" to choose from, all with the same end goal, making it difficult for him to discern what is right or wrong.
The singer expresses a longing for autonomy and control over his own life, wishing he could "end or begin" and live on his own terms. However, he feels trapped within himself and unable to break through the walls that are holding him back. Despite this, he seems resigned to his fate, acknowledging that he doesn't "care about the time" or need to understand.
In the second half of the song, the singer takes on a more fatalistic attitude, stating that there is "no confusion in my mind but the clarity is gone." He expresses a sense of hopelessness, implying that he has given up on attempting to navigate the treacherous waters of life. He compares himself to a ship adrift on the current, helpless to move against the tide. Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of a person struggling with their inner demons and wrestling with existential questions.
