Shadowlands
Mos Generator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadows of the specters destroying living worlds
Well the words are hiding somewhere deep inside you
Tell me what your thinking I really gotta know
Watch the beams of light, to help, to guide you
Stranded in dark corners trapped by gods of suicide
If you die inside the sun will come to save you
I've walked alone too long
And my heart feels not that strong
These shadows grow so tall
Will I ever find my way
Find my way, yeah
Here in the Shadowlands
There is no light to guide you
There's only dark
Will you give your hand to me
I'll be the saviour, someone to set me free, yeah
I've walk alone too long
And my heart feels not that strong
These shadows grow so tall
Will I ever find my way
Rise above the shadows
And rid your heart of all this pain
Rise above the shadows
And rid your heart of all this pain

The lyrics yearn for the listener to express their thoughts and tell the singer what they are really thinking, so they can connect and understand each other.
The song's chorus talks about the Shadowlands, a place where there is no light to guide the listener, and they are trapped and alone, unable to find their way out of the shadows. The lyrics describe a dark and painful place where the gods of suicide trap the stranded in dark corners, and the darkness grows tall. The lyrics reveal the singer's loneliness and vulnerability and their heartfelt plea for someone to reach out and help them escape. But the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer calling for hope and redemption. They urge the listener to rise above the shadows and rid their heart of all the pain. In essence, "Shadowlands" is a song about finding hope and redemption in the darkness, with the help of others.

I have traversed in isolation for far too many moments
And my heart feels not that strong
My heart is feeble and vulnerable
These shadows grow so tall
These shadows loom prominently and menacingly
Will I ever find my way
Will I ever discover my path
Here in the Shadowlands
In this region of obscurity and despair
There is no light to guide you
There is no illumination to lead the way
There's only dark
There is solely obscurity

Will you extend your hand to me
I'll be the saviour, someone to set me free, yeah

Rise above the shadows
