Shadow Of The Day
Linkin Park漀 Lyrics

I close both locks below the window
I am locking myself in, trying to shut out the world and avoid any outside interference or influence.

I close both blinds and turn away
I am isolating myself from the outside world by closing the blinds and turning away, trying to block out any potential pain or hurt.

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes the answers to our problems are not easy or straightforward, and it can be difficult to find a way out of our struggles.

Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh
Sometimes the only way to move forward is to say goodbye, even if it is painful and difficult to do so.

And the sun will set for you
Life goes on, and the world will keep spinning regardless of what happens to us.

The sun will set for you
It's a reminder that even the brightest things in life will eventually come to an end.

And the shadow of the day
The lingering sadness or pain of having to say goodbye to someone or something important to us.

Will embrace the world in gray
The world can seem dull and colorless when we are grieving and struggling to come to terms with our loss.

In cards and flowers on your window
Those around us may try to offer us comfort and support in the form of cards and flowers, but it may not be enough to ease our pain.

Your friends all plead for you to stay
The people closest to us may try to convince us to stay and not give up, but sometimes our issues are too complex to be solved that easily.

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Starting over and beginning anew can be challenging and frightening, especially when we are dealing with the aftermath of a painful loss.

Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh
Reiterating that sometimes, no matter how much we don't want to, we have to say goodbye in order to move forward and overcome our obstacles.

And the shadow of the day
Repetition emphasizes the lasting impact of having to say goodbye and the lingering pain associated with our loss.

Will embrace the world in gray
The world will continue to lack vibrancy and color as we come to terms with our pain and loss.

And the sun will set for you
Reiterating that life goes on and we must push forward, regardless of our personal struggles and pain.

The sun will set for you
A reminder that everyone experiences pain and loss, and that it's a universal truth we must all come to terms with.

And the shadow of the day
The shadow of pain and loss will continue to linger over us, influencing our feelings and outlook on life.

Will embrace the world in gray
The world will continue to feel colorless and muted until we learn to move on and find new sources of joy and happiness.

And the sun will set for you
Life goes on, and even in the darkest moments, there is still hope and the promise of brighter days ahead.
