Shadows
File Transfer Protocol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All this is an illusion that I've made in my mind.
All this is an intrusion that I can't seem to leave behind.

All in this one feeling true
All in this one feeling true

Lost in the light of the fires and only seeking shelter in the shadows
of my mind
Caught in the aim of the liars. I'm only seeking shelter in the shadows
of mankind.

All this is disillusion as I fade from all your kind
All this is a delusion that has left me completely blind

All in this one feeling true
All in this one feeling true

Lost in the light of the fires and only seeking shelter in the shadows
of my mind




Caught in the aim of the liars. I'm only seeking shelter in the shadows
of mankind.
