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

Shadowgraphs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave all your words behind again
If you're falling through the cracks where you don't belong
Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
In your mind
And if you're dreaming of the time we met
well I was too oh how I can't forget
I tried soo hard to fall into your eyes
your eyes
Run for your life alone, alone
Leave all your words behind again
If you're falling through the cracks where you don't belong
Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
In your mind

Line by Line Meaning
Run for your life alone, alone
Flee to escape the danger of losing yourself amidst the chaos of the world and face it all by yourself
Leave all your words behind again
Forget all the past negative experiences and memories and believe in the power of silence
If you're falling through the cracks where you don't belong
If you feel like you're losing yourself in the crowd without any purpose in life
Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
Ditch the superficiality of life and search for something authentic and genuine
In your mind
The journey towards new beginnings should start with changing your perception and mindset
And if you're dreaming of the time we met
When you remember the past and think of a time where things were different and hopeful
well I was too oh how I can't forget
At that time, I was also hopeful and excited for the future, and that memory still lingers on
I tried soo hard to fall into your eyes
Trying your best to connect with someone and be understood
But my whole life couldn't fit inside your eyes
The realization of not being able to make others understand or fit in with their expectations
Run for your life alone, alone
A reminder to prioritize self-preservation and individuality over conformity and the opinions of others
Leave all your words behind again
Leaving behind the negative emotions and focusing on the future with clarity of mind
If you're falling through the cracks where you don't belong
Rephrased for repetition purposes
Sacrifice your plastic life for something real
Rephrased for repetition purposes
In your mind
Rephrased for repetition purposes
