Shadows of Steel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a dream of years ago, just the only one
I was living for the sun 'til you broke our love
Only shadows on the wall, I can't believe it all
Still I'm waiting for your call but the hawk has flown
Now I'm living for the night, will I never know
If you're trying to recall, tell me why you're gone
My tears are falling
You'll never fly with me
[Solo: Andrew/Andre]
Dreams are rising to the sun of my life
Silver heroes fly
Riding to that land we shall arise
[Solo: Andrew Mc Pauls]
Stand in front the man is waiting
Stand in front the mask is falling
No, you can't be real, you're nor a part of me
Stand in front the man is waiting
Stand in front the mask is falling
No, you can't be me, you can't be me
[Solo: Steve/Andre/Steve/Andre/Andrew]
Will I live or will I die
[Solo: Andrew/Andre]
Alright, I'll die
Echoes in the sky
[Solo: Wild Steel]
Dreams are rising to the sun of my life
Silver heroes fly
Riding to that land we shall arise
The lyrics to Shadows of Steel's song Gone with the Wind appear to be about a relationship that has ended and the struggles the singer is facing in dealing with the aftermath of the breakup. The opening lines describe the person as a dream from years ago and how they were the only one that the singer was living for - indicating that this was a significant relationship. However, something happened to break their love, and despite waiting for the person's call, they never came back. The singer is left with only shadows on the wall and memories of the relationship, lamenting the fact that things didn't work out.
The next stanza talks about how the singer is now living for the night and wondering if the person is trying to recall what they had. However, they are still gone, and the singer's tears are falling. The line "Gone with the wind" suggests that the relationship is over, and the person has moved on, leaving the singer behind. The final stanza seems to reference the singer confronting the reality of the situation and trying to figure out who they are without this person in their life. The "mask falling" could be a metaphor for the false sense of identity the singer had while in the relationship. The song ends with an acknowledgement that the singer may not survive the experience but that echoes of their struggle will remain.
