Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be a shadow to this boy
Steal me a listen, steal me a song
Turn the TV on it's side
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know you're alive and doing well
I'll follow you in, I'll be at your [Incomprehensible] worlds collide
Not too long, little can calm the stone you left behind my eyes
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know you're alive and doing well
It's everything for two, don't be a stranger
Don't be a shadow to this boy
It's nothin' but three, a quarter past evenin'
The quarter you live in haunts my eyes
Write a letter, give a call
Let me know you're alive and doing well
It's everything for two, don't be a stranger
Don't be a shadow to this boy
Don't be a stranger, don't be a shadow
Don't be a shadow to this boy
Don't be a shadow to this boy
Don't be a shadow to this boy
The first stanza of the lyrics suggests a plea for communication and connection. The singer addresses someone, urging them to take notice and not remain distant or unfamiliar. The phrase "don't be a stranger" implies a desire for closeness and familiarity, while "don't be a shadow to this boy" suggests not to disappear or be overshadowed in the singer's life.
In the next stanza, the singer asks the person to share something personal and meaningful with them. The lines "steal me a listen, steal me a song" express a desire for the other person to open up and share their thoughts or emotions. The line "turn the TV on its side" could be a metaphorical way of asking the person to change their perspective and look beyond superficial distractions.
The repeated lines "write a letter, give a call, let me know you're alive and doing well" emphasize the singer's longing for communication and reassurance about the other person's well-being. This repetition accentuates the importance of maintaining a connection and staying present in each other's lives.
The final stanza adds a sense of urgency and longing to the lyrics. The singer expresses their willingness to follow the person and be part of their world, despite the potential challenges or obstacles. The phrase "little can calm the stone you left behind my eyes" could suggest that the other person has caused emotional turmoil or left a lasting impression on the singer.
The overall message of the lyrics is a plea for communication, closeness, and not allowing the other person to become distant or forgotten. The repetition of phrases like "don't be a stranger" and "don't be a shadow" reinforces the desire for a meaningful connection and the fear of being left behind or forgotten. It is a plea to remain present and engaged in each other's lives.

Waraenai imi wo tadottatte
kawaranai ima wo norottatte
chuu ni matta kotoba ga
anata wo sukuenai no darou
Todokanai mama no keshiki wo

tooi tokoro e ikeru you ni
Anata no iu “kibou” da to ka
