A Haze In The Shadow
Mechanical Moth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guide me through my dream
Don't know where you are
Don't know where I am
Night is my shelter
I only need you there
Don't know if you felt me
Morning agitates me
Almost gone is my time
I feel your mind around me
Can you hear my plea
Just a second
Is a pleasure inside
Please take my hand
Back into the light
Follow me
In my dreams you're so real to me
Can't you see
That I carry on to breath until I sleep
Just a haze in the shadow
Reminds me of (your touch)
That my dream
Is my life tonight
The Mechanical Moth's song "A Haze in the Shadow" talks about painful memories and how they impact our dreams. The lyrics depict the lead vocalist's feelings of being lost and the desire to reconnect with a person they once loved. The opening lines - "Memories like dust, Guide me through my dream, Don't know where you are, Don't know where I am" set the melancholic tone of the song. The singer is left to grapple with their personal recollections that linger in their mind like "dust." The chorus "Just a haze in the shadow, Reminds me of (your touch), That my dream Is my life tonight" reveals that the person they mourn is not present, and their memories are all that they hold onto. They're lost, wondering if the person they're thinking of even cares or hears them.
