Evil Is But a Shadow
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That always accompanies the good
You can try to have a world
A world without the shadow
But it will be a dark, dark and cold place world
'Cause it would be a world, a world without light, too
Oh, oh, oh
The light of the true
The light of silence
The light of all I do
The brighter it shines from the mountain
The more evil hides in its hole
Enjoy, so hard to defeat us
A world starting to lose your control
Oh, oh, oh (Troll, lose your control)
(Troll, lose your control)
(Troll, lose your control)
(Troll, lose your control)
Won't stop
We'll let it go, it drop
How'd it get to be so obvious?
I'll have fun
Won't stop
We'll let it fucking drop
Won't stop, oh
I'll have fun
Evil is but a shadow
A shadow in this world
Evil is but a shadow
A shadow in this world
Evil is but a shadow
A shadow in this world
The song "Evil Is But a Shadow" by Miley Cyrus discusses the idea of good and evil and how they are interconnected. Evil is represented as a shadow that always accompanies the good. The singer acknowledges that one may attempt to create a world without shadows, but it would be a bleak and depressing place without the light that shadows create. The song suggests that light and darkness must coexist and that without one, the other cannot exist.
The lyrics also touch upon the concept that evil can hide and grow stronger as good shines brighter. As humans continue to try and create an ideal world, evil becomes harder to defeat and can cause us to lose control. However, the singer refuses to stop and vows to continue fighting against evil, even if it means allowing it to drop or letting go.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the balance of good and evil in life and the importance of not ignoring the darker aspects of the world, but rather learning to coexist with them.
