Shadows
Massface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your way
All that you'd feel in real life
Looks like a veil
That falling down
On a Blade of a knife
Watch your steps
Cuz they're hollow and follow your fear
So just keep it clear
They can hide
Things you can't imagine
Secrets in the air around you
So breathe
Watch your steps
Take a look inside your shadow
That you've never noticed
Could your dreams be a map?
But before you decide to start to go
There is no way to go
(It's a trap)
Looks like a veil
Keeps falling down
On a blade of a knife
Watch your steps
Do not fall in shadows
Cuz they're hollow and follow your fear
So just keep it clear
They can hide
Things you can't imagine
Secrets in the air around you
So breathe
Just breathe!
Watch them
They're born with the light
And they die with the light
While they live - they will fight
Look at them
Shadows
They born with the light
And they die with the light
As long as they live - they will fight
The song "Shadows" by Massface is a commentary on the nature of fear and the danger of hiding from one's innermost thoughts and feelings. The lyrics describe how the illusions we create for ourselves through fear appear like a veil that falls over our eyes, causing us to see reality through a distorted lens. This veil can be especially dangerous when we allow it to lead us into shadows, places where we cannot see or understand what is happening around us. The chorus urges listeners to watch their steps and not fall into these hollow shadows, reminding them that they can hide secrets and things that are unimaginable.
The second verse encourages introspection, suggesting that we examine our shadows - the parts of ourselves we may not be aware of - in order to confront our fears and attempt to understand them. The lyrics suggest that our dreams may be a map to overcoming our fears - but the final line of the verse warns that this may be a trap, cautioning against the dangers of being too consumed by our own fears and desires. The song ends with a final warning to watch the shadows around us, to recognize that they are born from the light and that they will fight as long as they exist.

All that you saw
Everything you witnessed
On your way
On your journey
All that you'd feel in real life
The emotions you experience in reality
Looks like a veil
Feels like a covering
That falling down
Descends
On a Blade of a knife
As sharp as a knife's edge
Watch your steps
Be careful where you move
Do not fall in shadows
Avoid getting caught up in darkness
Cuz they're hollow and follow your fear
Because they are empty and influenced by your frights
So just keep it clear
Stay aware
They can hide
Obscure
Things you can't imagine
Unthinkable objects
Secrets in the air around you
Mysteries within the environment
So breathe
Slow down and relax
Take a look inside your shadow
Explore your dark corners
That you've never noticed
Which you haven't ever recognized
Could your dreams be a map?
Are your aspirations guiding you?
But before you decide to start to go
Before taking any course of action
There is no way to go
There might not be a clear path
(It's a trap)
(Beware of getting trapped)
Keeps falling down
Continues to descend
Watch your steps
Be mindful of your footing
Cuz they're hollow and follow your fear
Because the darkness is empty and influenced by your anxieties
So just keep it clear
Stay vigilant
They can hide
Conceal
Things you can't imagine
Unimaginable things
Secrets in the air around you
Mysteries that surround you
So breathe
Keep calm and collected
Watch them
Observe them
They're born with the light
Born from brightness
And they die with the light
They disappear when light fades
While they live - they will fight
They struggle with existence
Look at them
Ponder on them
Shadows
Darkness
They born with the light
They come from light
And they die with the light
They expire when light goes away
As long as they live - they will fight
They contend with survival

Ну тут сказать нечего. Настолько красочная палитра гармонии. Всё живенько , брейкдаун мощь , припев 🔥 И переходы меж куплетами и припевами не ощущаются вообще , настолько всё гармонийно. Это прям мощное течение.
