1. Shadowgraphs is a neo-psychedelic band from Portland, OR, comprised of internationally known collage artist Bryan Olson and fellow German cosmonaut Charles Glade (Wils). Both ends met after being introduced through a mutual friend who thought the two shared similar musical interests. Bryan and Wils instantly sparked a connection and songs began to emerge. The two would experiment late nights with tape machines, sharing music and production ideas, and writing songs. After only four months of meeting, an EP titled “Return to Zero” was written and the band was officially born with Ethan Ricks on Bass and Cody Hare on Drums

2. Shadowgraphs rose from the ashes of New Haven-area indie trio Eschellon. Sonic experiences take influence from Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie and the Beach Boys; expect tightly-orchestrated tracks, brilliant composition, and addictive melodies.
Before the Time
Shadowgraphs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You walked in my life
I was so blind
Thought that I knew
was running from the truth
Just another excuse
Maybe I missed the point
Crack open my skull
Have a look inside
What will you find
When you've lost your mind
Searching fo something you'll never find
Hidden in the depth of the night
End it before the time
How was I living before the time
I was just waiting for a sign
How was I living before the time
I was just waiting for a sign
Without a doubt the word is out
And now I can feel like a human being
Was I even breathing?
Yes it was justified
I had to go
Carry my own
And rightfully so
When you know you really know
When you've lost your mind
Searching fo something you'll never find
Hidden in the depth of the night
End it before the time
In "Before the Time," Shadowgraphs sings about a transformative experience that changes their perception of truth and allows them to see the world more clearly. The beginning lyrics suggest that before this time, the singer was "blind" and "running from the truth," but after meeting someone, they realize they were just searching for "another excuse." The lines "crack open my skull, have a look inside, what will you find?" speak to the idea of self-reflection and examination of one's own thoughts and motivations. The chorus urges listeners to avoid losing their minds and searching for something they'll never find, implying that it's better to "end it before the time."
Line by Line Meaning
Before the time
Before you came into my life
You walked in my life
You entered my life and changed everything
I was so blind
I didn't understand what I was missing until I met you
Thought that I knew
I thought I had everything figured out
was running from the truth
I was avoiding the truth about myself and my situation
Just another excuse
I was making excuses instead of facing reality
Maybe I missed the point
Perhaps I didn't understand the situation or my own feelings
I dressed the part
I was pretending to be someone I wasn't
Crack open my skull
Look deeper into my mind and thoughts
Have a look inside
See what's really going on in my head
What will you find
Discover what's truly going on in my life and thoughts
When you've lost your mind
When you feel like you're going crazy
Searching fo something you'll never find
Looking for something that you'll never be able to achieve or attain
Hidden in the depth of the night
Buried deep within one's own thoughts and emotions
End it before the time
Stop before it's too late and irreversible damage is done
How was I living before the time
Reflecting back on life before meeting someone who made a big impact
I was just waiting for a sign
I was waiting for something to happen or for some sort of direction
Without a doubt the word is out
The truth is known and out in the open
And now I can feel like a human being
Now that everything is out in the open, I can finally feel like myself again
Was I even breathing?
It felt like I wasn't truly living until now
Yes it was justified
My actions and decisions were justified because they had led me to where I am now
I had to go
I had to leave something behind
Carry my own
Take responsibility for myself and my actions
And rightfully so
It was the right thing to do
When you know you really know
When you're sure about something, you just know it
