Shadows
Neelix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dark, in the darkness
Follow you like an accomplice
In the dark, in the darkness
Follow you like an accomplice
In the dark, in the darkness
Follow you like an accomplice

Feel me in the dark, in the darkness
My shadows they follow you like an accomplice
Lost all of your dreams, the night is heartless
My shadows they follow you
My shadows they follow you

Can I go back?
Can I go back?
Can I go back?
Can I go back?

Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back

Feel me in the dark, in the darkness
My shadows they follow you like an accomplice
Lost all of your dreams, the night is heartless




My shadows they follow you
My shadows they follow you

Overall Meaning

In Neelix's song "Shadows," the lyrics depict a theme of darkness and the haunting presence that accompanies it. The repetition of the lines "In the dark, in the darkness, follow you like an accomplice" emphasizes the idea of being pursued or followed by something sinister or shadowy. The phrase "like an accomplice" suggests that these shadows are not only present in the darkness but also actively working alongside the listener, perhaps to cause harm or perpetrate misdeeds.


The lyrics continue to explore the connection between the shadows and the listener, with the line "Feel me in the dark, in the darkness, my shadows they follow you like an accomplice." Here, it is implied that the shadows represent some deeper part of the listener, a part that lurks in the darkest corners of their mind or soul and participates in their actions and experiences. The shadows are portrayed as relentless companions, constantly by the listener's side, highlighting their influence.


The phrase "Lost all of your dreams, the night is heartless" introduces a sense of despair and emptiness. It suggests that the shadows have consumed the listener's dreams, leaving them feeling empty and devoid of hope. The night is portrayed as heartless, emphasizing the cold and unforgiving nature of the darkness and the shadows that accompany it.


The repeated question "Can I go back?" adds a sense of longing or nostalgia. It conveys the desire to return to a previous state or time, possibly before the shadows and darkness became so prevalent in the listener's life. This longing for a way back hints at a longing for innocence or a desire to escape the sinister presence that the shadows embody.


Overall, the lyrics of "Shadows" by Neelix convey a haunting and introspective exploration of darkness, shadows, and the inescapable presence they have in the listener's life. The song's repetition and imagery create a sense of foreboding and unease, as the shadows follow closely, leaving the listener longing for a return to a time when they were free from their influence.

Neelix is magical with those vocals.. every song is amazing

@davidkps7270

Nope, the neelix from 5-6 years ago was amazing
I Don t understand how people are enjoying the new soft proggy neelix
That's just disappointing

@Elite-999

@@davidkps7270 well to each their own, i think neelix just changed style because he liked it/thought it would be better for him, i personally like these songs but i respect ur opinion

@sebcontent5669

Old 2008-2012 neelix was mental but New neelix is also good

@davidkps7270

@@Elite-999 what do you think about Fabio Fusco? His drops are amazing and makes your soul explodes in 1000 fractals

@TheHereWeGoAndAction

@@davidkps7270 I dont get comments like yours. People, mindsets, just everything is changing ~ always!...I listen to goa/trance/electronic music for more than 30 years. Of course, and fortunately music is not stuck at one specific timepoint....you dont have to like the recent sound, but saying it was better in the past is just superficial/ just your personal idea of how music/things have to be (edit btw: i personally find the new fabio productions super cheesy ;)

Endlich ein neuer genialer Song, vor allem mit diesen vocals!😍Ich bin noch nie so lange am Stück abgegangen, wie bei Neelix live. Und den ganzen Abend hatte ich Tränen in den Augen, weil ich so viel mit diesen Songs verbinde. Danke Neelix, für dieses Lebensgefühl, das uns deine Songs geben. Du bringst uns zum lachen, weinen, schreien und vor allem zum tanzen. ♥️
