Test of Time
Shade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who never fails to drive me insane
Im the darkness at the end of a day
She was the one to take me away
She was the one to find the key to the cage
We won't fall
We'll build this wall together
And stand the test of time
Rely on one another
Forever we will climb
Some nights I wake from a nightmare in my paradise
I can't save her soul
Or so they say
They only brought my world to an end
I saw her hopes begin to descend
Before my eyes her world was crashing down
We won't fall
We'll build this wall together
And stand the test of time
We won't leave
Rely on one another
Forever we will climb
Some nights I stay up in my castle waiting for my queen
Who never fails to drive me insane
Some nights I wake up from a nightmare in my paradise
I can't save her soul or so they say
The lyrics of Shade's song "Test of Time" paint a picture of a narrator who is deeply devoted to their partner, referred to as their queen.
