SHADOW
Lexie Liu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
我很久不再成为我自己 (谬误才拥有怀疑钟声响起)
钟声照常被敲响落日未落下 (钟声响落日未落下)
Audemars, like Mardi Gras
There′s no tomorrow
This so bourgeois
Walk, hit it, I love it, oh
My retro lover
It's a city of sin, don′t you miss me?
未曾说的话
也不必再说了
或许你存在
只是一种设想
像醒不来的梦
却缓慢一些
在世界之巅的星球只有我和你
月球映照着你
Shadow shadow wait for me
Shadow shadow wait
Shadow sh-sh-sh-shadow
我脱下了光影
Shadow shadow wait for me
Shadow shadow wait
Shadow sh-sh-sh-shadow
未知结局掩盖着
超级电脑运行推算
我被拆解的外壳
还有多久才能飞离
我呢还揣着失重心跳快失控了
我呢我怎么还没变成我
Issa party she gon' pop it
Ride, ride love
Now the timeline 'bout to lie in Sci-Fi truck
待命的主机
那荧幕显示正
加载这游戏
让全世界的意识觉醒在这里
漂浮在虚空零重力自由
这就像一场醒不来的梦
在世界之巅的星球只有我和你
月球映照着你
Shadow shadow wait for me
Shadow shadow wait
Shadow sh-sh-sh-shadow
我脱下了光影
Shadow shadow wait for me
Shadow shadow wait
Shadow sh-sh-sh-shadow
未知结局掩盖着
超级电脑运行推算
我被拆解的外壳
还有多久才能飞离
我呢还揣着失重心跳快失控了
我呢我怎么还没变成我
像一场醒不来的梦
无限遍存在
月球映照着你
Shadow shadow wait for me
Shadow shadow wait
Shadow sh-sh-sh-shadow
我脱下了光影
Shadow shadow wait for me
Shadow shadow wait
Shadow sh-sh-sh-shadow
未知结局掩盖着
超级电脑运行推算
我被拆解的外壳
还有多久才能飞离
我呢还揣着失重心跳快失控了
我呢我怎么还没变成我
像一场醒不来的梦
无限遍存在
The song 'Shadow' by Lexie Liu has a mix of different themes, including a futuristic love story, existential uncertainty, and self-discovery. The opening lines "引爆黎明跟随着月亮前行" and "钟声照常被敲响落日未落下" refer to an apocalyptic world where the singer is unsure of their future. The chorus "Shadow shadow wait for me" is a plea for the singer's lover to wait for them as they navigate through their existence. The lyrics "我很久不再成为我自己" talks about losing one's identity and becoming someone they do not recognize. There is also a reference to high-end luxury brands like "Audemars" and "Balenci" in the song, hinting at the bourgeoisie society's influence.
The lines "像醒不来的梦 却缓慢一些" means "like a dream that cannot be awakened but is a bit slow." This highlights the singer's uncertainty about their reality, but they are slowly coming to terms with it. The lyrics "未知结局掩盖着超级电脑运行推算" talks about a supercomputer predicting an unknown future and the singer's fear of being split apart like a computer shell. The bridge of the song, "这就像一场醒不来的梦，在世界之巅的星球只有我和你," reiterates the theme of a surreal existence while only two people (the singer and their lover) remain at the top of the world.
Overall, the lyrics of the song Shadow focus on the singer's search for meaning, identity, and love in a world that is uncertain and surreal.

Why do all her songs sound like straight outta Cyberpunk? Love it!!!
@chrisdoodles
she is the cyberpunk
@brunonominato4478
I feel the same.
@jaredkodiak8160
I was just thinking that when watching this, the lyrics are very cyberpunk
@kylelucien7632
She describes her music as futuristic. I'm just blown away by how she captures the cyberpunk vibe so good.
@fjcg9821
the visuals, the vocals, the fact that she writes and produces all her music and being only 22... she has everything to be a global star! I hope she gets more and more exposure and has an amazing career, she deserves it!
@swedensy
Thats BS.
