Shadowlands
PARKER Matthew ft. Anna Criss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moon and stars are the only light,
to tell us that we're lost,
in the endless darkness all night,
and we can't find a way,
to be free for a blindness desease,
so we can see, what we've been missing.
So send your light...
The only hope in the midnight sky,
is the coming light of dawn.
We're sitting here cold and helpless now,
and all our strength is gone,
with the wind, and it's howling again
in the shadowlands.
Truely need your sunshine,
so send your light,.
into the shadowlands.

Here we are in the dark,
and we can't find a way to fly away.
Oh, here we are in the shadows,
that our sins create. We can't escape.

So saviour save us.




Break this darkness.
Kick those storm clouds from the sky.

Overall Meaning

They're ready to break the darkness and kick the storm clouds from the sky, but they are still waiting for the light to arrive. The singer pleads with the savior to save them and provide the light they need to escape the shadowlands.


Overall, the song is about feeling lost, alone, and stuck in a dark place without any direction. The lyrics express a sense of vulnerability and desperation, while also holding out hope for a better tomorrow.

Dude, this song's been perfect for playing a GIANT game of Pictionary #DPArmy

Sounds a little similar to Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child"

Braden Walker

It does bare some beat similarities. But the chorus is definitely different.
