Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Girl I love you I tell you every time
Dash front flipped down I just switch sides
Back down ends I wait on your 9
Love you again I’ll tell you this time
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
I’ll give you something to think about
Just so I know you all around
I wanna know you upside down
I wanna see you take my crown
I never wanna see you down
Try turn me upside down
Girl I love you I tell you every time
Dash front flipped down I just switch sides
Back down ends I wait on your 9
Love you again I’ll tell you this time
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
Shadow's in my room that's where I stay
The lyrics of O. Chapman feat. Faith's song Shadows evoke an atmosphere of introspection and contemplation. The repeated line "Shadow's in my room that's where I stay" hints at a sense of entrapment and an unwillingness to confront the outside world. The shadows, symbolizing the darker aspects of the singer's psyche, seem to be all-encompassing, perhaps reflecting a state of emotional turmoil.
However, amidst this internal struggle, the singer's love for someone is a constant bright light that shines through. As he repeats "Girl, I love you I tell you every time," there is a sense of reassurance and comfort, as if this love is a source of stability and hope in an otherwise confusing world. Some of the lyrics suggest playfulness and flirtation, as when he says "I wanna see you take my crown" or "I’ll give you something to think about," creating a nice contrast to the somber tone of the rest of the song.
Overall, Shadows is a song about finding solace in love while struggling with one's personal demons. The repetition of the line "Shadow's in my room that's where I stay" reinforces the sense of imprisonment, while the mention of switching sides and waiting on someone's 9 suggests a desire for change and growth. Through it all, the singer's love for his partner shines as a beacon of hope.

Lyrics
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day and there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying, "Dad, I need you
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancin'
Oh, please, daddy, please"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
Oh, please, daddy, please"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancin'
Oh, please, daddy, please"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

And I need to practice my dancing
Oh please, Daddy, please!"

Who else wanted to see what made Linus Cry?
Andri Egilsson
Can't believe this was it
Randall Danger
I want to call Linus a wuss, but he's a parent so I guess I get it
Gecko.
@Andri Egilsson I feel like this wouldn't touch him even as a parent. Maybe it really was the headphones?
The Jaycaleb Show
Haha yup.
Daniel Kandi Snooker
one good thing came from that video besides seeing that Audio quality CAN and DOES matter for our perception of music... And thats that youngsters that are fans of Linus probably didn't know too much about this incredible singer. And because of that video they got to listen to something that sadly isn't appreciated on nowadays radio. Want more of this on radio!

For those who don’t know, Steven Curtis Chapman had adopted 2 little girls from China. He wrote this song for them. Not long after this, one if his daughters was tragically ran over by a car and passed away. So this song has extra special meaning.
Luis Felipe De la Barra
Oh wow had no idea. I already loved this song before, used to imagine myself dancing with my nowadays little girl, imagining her at her wedding. Cried every time already but yes, this makes it even more special. Thank you very much!
Liberty rider
