Shadows
Mr. Wonk Lyrics

She said step into the shadow
She invited him to join her in the darkness, away from the brightness of the light.

Come out of the light
She urged him to leave the light and enter into the shadow with her.

She offered me her cigarette
She tried to share her cigarette with him.

I said nah babe you're alright
He rejected her offer to have the cigarette.

She said step into my shadow
She again invited him to join her in the shadow.

I don't bark but I bite
She warned him that she's not harmless, despite her demeanor.

She said she's feeling thirsty
She expressed her desire to quench her thirst.

She needs something tonight
She needs something to satisfy her immediately.

So step into the shadow
She repeated her invitation to him to enter into the dark with her.

I now can't take my eyes off, her lips blood red
He is intrigued by her lips that are redder than usual and can't stop staring at them.

Redder than red
Her lips are very red, more than what he has seen before.

Eyes like moons
Her eyes are very big and round, resembling moons.

Carry me away from here
He wants to be transported away from his current situation.

What could I do?
He is unsure of how to handle the situation with her.

She said let's find a cozy dive bar
She suggested they go to a comfortable, familiar bar.

Or we can do this in the street
She proposed that they can also indulge in their desires in public.

She'll have a bloody Mary
She desires to drink a cocktail called bloody Mary.

I need something to eat
He feels hungry and needs to eat something.

She offered me my future self
She offered him a glimpse of his future with her.

I offered her a light
He returned the favor by offering her a cigarette.

Yeah I wish we never met
He regrets meeting her and getting involved with her.

I wish I never saw you standing there yeah
He wishes he never laid eyes on her when they met.

Your silhouette turned a switch in my head
Her figure made him change his mind and have different thoughts.

A trick in my bed
She played a trick on him in their intimate moments in bed.

You drew blood now it's hard for me to leave
Metaphorically, she hurt him emotionally and now he finds it difficult to move on from her.

Now it's impossible to leave you
He feels trapped and unable to get out of the situation with her.

Death of a salesman, death of a salesman
He references the play 'Death of a Salesman', which deals with depression and suicide, to express his state of mind.

Oh yeah you killed a man
He blames her for causing him emotional pain and suffering.

Yeah, a man on that run
He feels like he's running away from his problems by getting involved with her.

When you tempt me with the passionate, oh, with the passionate, wish we never met
When she presents him with their passionate affair, he regrets ever meeting her.

Now I'm never gonna leave, this is who I wanna be
He gives in to his desires and decides to stay with her, despite his reservations.

Caught me on another side
He is taken to a different world by her presence.

That darker side, that newer side, that suicide
He is lured by the darker, mysterious, and dangerous side of her, and feels like he is giving in to his own self-destruction.
