From The Shadows Where I'm Low
Night Verses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe I let her go
Yeah well I guess that's heavy life
It's heavier than snow melting like lovers' polar ice
Never wanted to be cold or fall ghost from deafening tones
Now I've risen from below patient and waiting by the phone

Breathe in! barely alive yeah we're barely alive
Save me from the shadows where I'm low

Give me your hand: I've been lost but I'm back from the grave
When will you learn?
I deserve this disease but I'm back to you to prove I can change





Let me back in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Night Verses's song "From The Shadows Where I'm Low" explore themes of regret, redemption, and the weight of life's struggles. The singer in the song is reflecting on how they let someone they loved go and is now grappling with the consequences of that decision. They acknowledge that life can be heavy and difficult, but also recognize how painful it is to be alone and cold like the melting snow. The line "fall ghost from deafening tones" suggests that the singer has been ghosted or abandoned by someone they cared about, possibly due to miscommunication or misunderstandings.


Despite the pain and loneliness they feel, the singer has not given up hope. They have "risen from below" and are patiently waiting for a chance to reconnect with the person they let go. The image of waiting by the phone suggests that they are desperate for communication and connection. The refrain of "barely alive" adds to the sense of weariness and struggle, but the plea to be saved from the shadows speaks to a persistent hope for rescue and healing.


The second half of the song shifts to a declaration of intent. The singer is asking for a second chance and promising to prove that they can change. The line "I deserve this disease" is a powerful admission of guilt and self-doubt. The disease could be a metaphor for the singer's emotional struggles or could represent society's judgment upon them. Regardless, the singer is determined to overcome it and to be worthy of the love they lost. The final line, "let me back in", is a direct appeal to the person they miss and a poignant expression of longing.
