Shadow
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you so mad?
And I'm so happy
And you hate that
But I love love
And I love life
And I love trippin' in the desert with my best friend
Seein' spaceships in the sky
And I love singin' fuck in all my songs
'Cause the only people who got time to get offended
Are the ones who probably never gotten off
So get your shadow outta my sunshine
Outta my blue skies
Outta my good times
So get your darkness outta my damn way
I'll be dancin' in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
We on God shit
Who's to throw stones?
Live and let live
Or just stay the fuck home
So we could love love (we could love love)
If you love life (if you love life)
Then we can sail this blue dot
Spinnin' endless in the night sky
And if you love partyin' then party on
And if you're here to throw shade
Then you're in the wrong place
Yeah, you're blockin' my sun
Go get your shadow outta my sunshine
Outta my blue skies
Outta my good times
So get your darkness outta my champagne
I'll be dancin' in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
I'll just keep on doin' what I do best
Pissin' off people who wanna be pissed
Hate is the poison, love's the elixir
If you don't like me you can suck my
So get your shadow outta my sunshine
Outta my blue skies
Outta my good times
So get your darkness outta my damn way
I'll be dancin' in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
The lyrics of Ke$ha's song "Shadow" convey a message of self-empowerment and resilience in the face of negativity and hate. The song opens with Ke$ha expressing her happiness and confidence, leading to the question of why others are so mad and hateful towards her. Despite their negative feelings, she maintains her love for life, love, and tripping in the desert with her best friend. The mention of seeing spaceships in the sky adds a touch of surrealism to the lyrics and emphasizes her free-spirited nature.
Ke$ha then addresses the issue of people taking offense to her explicit language in her songs, suggesting that those who get offended are likely those who have never experienced true liberation or enjoyment in life. She encourages those who block her shine and attempt to cast shadows on her positivity and joy to step aside and allow her to continue living her life to the fullest. The lyrics also touch on the theme of unity and acceptance, suggesting that instead of throwing shade and negativity, people should embrace love and live and let live.
Overall, the song "Shadow" serves as Ke$ha's anthem of defiance against those who try to bring her down, promoting self-love, acceptance, and resilience. It celebrates the freedom to be true to oneself and not allowing others' hatred to dampen one's spirit.

LYRICS
I feel so good, why you so mad?
And I'm so happy, and you hate that
But I love love, and I love life
And I love tripping in the desert with my best friends
Seeing spaceships in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
And I love singing "fuck" in all my songs
Cuz the only people who got time to get offended
Are the ones who probably never gotten off
[Chorus]
So get your shadow out of my sunshine
Out of my blue skies, out of my good times
So get your darkness out of my champagne
I'll be dancing in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
[Verse 2]
We all got shit, who's to throw stones?
Live and let live, or just stay the fuck home
So if you love love, if you love life
Then we can share this [?] in the night sky
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you love partying then party on
And if you're here to throw shade
Then you're in the wrong place
Yeah, you're fucking my sun

Pissing off people who wanna be pissed

Came here just to say 'Shadow' is a really really really beautiful song. I wished I had it during my darkest nights, but at least I know it's gonna help those who are experiencing such pain right now, and knowing that, gives me so much love and peace. Thank you Kesha for helping us to not feel alone and for creating music that help us raise again, like you did ❤️❤️❤️.
