Shadows
Maxim Lany Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve thought about you everyday
And this place since
Your presence
How could it be any other way
On this lost highway

Living in the shadow
Living in the shadow

Living in the shadow
Of you now

Living in the shadow

If walls could talk what would they say
Would they get things wrong
If you’re away too long
Can’t see every puzzle piece, was I lead astray
Start to drift away

Living in the shadow
Living in the shadow
Living in the shadow
Of you now

Someone up there is your four leaf clover

Living in the shadow
Living in the shadow
Living in the shadow

Someone up there is your four leaf clover

Overall Meaning

The lyrics ponder whether walls could talk and what they would reveal about the relationship that seems to be fading away. The singer questions whether they were led astray and whether they missed important clues along the way, leading to the drift away from the person they miss. The song leaves the listener with the haunting reminder that someone up there is a four-leaf clover, suggesting that the missed person was lucky and that the singer still feels lucky to have known them.
