Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One with whitened-out windows where no one goes
Lost in an empty space
Where no one else can reach me or hear me cry
But the Shepherd never sleeps
Nor leaves off searching for His sheep
So how can I be afraid?
For You will find my heart again
And I won't be alone
For You will bring me home again
Safe into the shadow of Your hand
I was an only one
Separate and different and so aware
That I was a lonely one
Without a friend to call me to say "Hi"
But the Shepherd knows His sheep
He alone will meet their needs
So how can I be afraid?
For You laid down your life for me
You became the living door
And I won't be alone
I can hear You calling me
Safe into the shadow of Your hand
Here, there is life for me
Life in such abundance from You
Here, there is sanctuary
And entering through you I find Your peace
For the Shepherd knows his sheep
His is the only voice they heed
So how can I be afraid?
Now that You have found my heart again
You who've warmed my fears away
And I won't be alone
Now that You have brought me home again
Safe into the shadow of Your hand
The song "Eden" by Shadow is a heartfelt expression of the singer's journey from loneliness and fear to finding sanctuary and peace in the Shepherd's hand. In the first verse, she describes being lost and alone in a little room with no way out. However, she finds comfort in the knowledge that the Shepherd is always watching over her, searching for her, and protecting her from harm. She trusts that no matter how lost she may feel, she will always be found and brought back into the safety of the Shepherd's hand.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that she was once an only child, separated from others by her differences and awareness. She was a lonely one without any friends to call on. However, she learns that the Shepherd knows His sheep intimately, meeting their every need and laying down His life for them. He becomes the living door that opens up a world of possibilities and friendships she never believed possible.
The chorus of the song expresses gratitude and love for the Shepherd's faithfulness and protection. The singer finds life in abundance and sanctuary in His care, and she feels safe in the shadow of His hand.
Overall, "Eden" is a song of hope and comfort born out of personal experience. It encourages listeners to trust in the Shepherd's love and care, to reach out to Him in their loneliness and fear, and to find peace in His embrace.
