Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to think we were so complete.
I can't believe you'd throw it away.
Used to feel we had it made.
Used to feel we could sail away.
Can you imagine how I feel today.
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one.
Do you know what you've done.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
it's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
Well it really doesn't matter to me.
I guess you're leaving was meant to be.
It's down to you now you want to be free.
Well I hope you know which way to go you're on your own again.
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one.
Remember what you've done.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk.
The song "Don't" by Shadow is an emotional journey about the breakdown of a relationship, the feeling of betrayal, and the acceptance of certain realities and moving on. The song begins with the singer expressing how sweet he thought life was and how perfect they were together. However, that sweet illusion is shattered when his partner decides to end the relationship. He cannot believe they threw all their struggles and hard work away. The singer used to think that they had it all, but now it seems like a distant memory. The song highlights the feelings of the singer who is hurt and angry about the relationship's end.
The singer's tone changes in the second verse to one who tells his partner that they are now the lonely one. The singer was the one who used to be lonely, but now his partner is the one who is alone. The singer of the song almost seems to speculate his partner's fate, knowing what may follow her decision. In the second half of the song, the singer starts to sound indifferent about the failed relationship. The singer is not losing any sleep; they are not counting sheep over ending their relationship. In essence, the singer accepts the reality that the course of the relationship has ended, and he is ready to move on with his life.
