Shadow
Soil and Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looked almost the same just more illusive
Not sure where she's gone
Where she's gone
Used to love a girl who loved me right back
Shadow in the day but she'ed glow at night
Here silhouettes gone
Yeah it's gone
Hoping to see you
Hoping to feel you
Make these rooms bright
Hoping you show up you got me fucked up
Girl you always moved in silence yeh
So I sleep with the light on hoping you'll reappear
And we'll
Touch touch touch
'Cos seeing you ain't enough
Wish that I could just hold you one more time
So I sleep in the day and wait for you at night just to
Touch touch touch
Used to hold a girl who wouldn't let go
Now I walk around chasing her shadow
Tryna catch the sun
Being outrun
Yeh I shined a light
Hoping to see you
Hoping to feel you
Make these rooms bright
Hoping you show up you got me fucked up
Girl you always moved in silence yeh
So I sleep with the light on hoping you'll reappear
And we'll
Touch touch touch
'Cos seeing you ain't enough
Wish that I could just hold you one more time
So I sleep in the day and wait for you at night just to
Touch touch touch
The song "Shadow" by Soil and Ash is an emotional ballad about lost love and the desperate longing to be reunited with someone who has disappeared. The lyrics describe a past relationship with a girl who was elusive and almost mysterious in her presence. The singer expresses his love for her and the pain he feels at her absence. He remembers how she would glow at night and how he used to hold her tightly, but now he is left chasing her shadow.
The chorus of the song is the most poignant part, where the singer expresses his yearning to be reunited with his lost love. He sleeps with the light on, hoping that she will reappear and they can touch, as seeing her is not enough. The lyrics are simple yet heartfelt, and the slow tempo of the song adds to the melancholic mood.
The song conveys a universal feeling of loss and reminds us of the power of love to move us deeply. It is a reminder to cherish the ones we love, as we never know when they may disappear from our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
Used to know a girl like you once I did
I remember a girl who was like you in the past
Looked almost the same just more illusive
You look similar but you are more elusive
Not sure where she's gone
I don't know where she went
Used to love a girl who loved me right back
I used to be in love with a girl who loved me in return
Shadow in the day but she'ed glow at night
She was like a shadow during the day, but at night she would shine
Here silhouettes gone
Her silhouette has disappeared
Yeah I shined a light
I tried to find you
Hoping to see you
I hoped to catch a glimpse of you
Hoping to feel you
I hoped to feel your presence
Make these rooms bright
I tried to make the room brighter to see you better
Hoping you show up you got me fucked up
I was hoping you would appear, but I was wrong
Girl you always moved in silence yeh
You always moved quietly and discreetly
So I sleep with the light on hoping you'll reappear
I sleep with the light on hoping to see you again
And we'll
And then
Touch touch touch
We will touch each other
'Cos seeing you ain't enough
Just seeing you is not enough
Wish that I could just hold you one more time
I wish I could hold you again
Used to hold a girl who wouldn't let go
I used to hold a girl who didn't want to let go
Now I walk around chasing her shadow
Now I wander aimlessly trying to find her
Tryna catch the sun
Trying to catch something unattainable, like the sun
Being outrun
Failing to catch up, being left behind
Yeh I shined a light
I tried again to find her
Hoping to see you
I hoped to catch a glimpse of you
Hoping to feel you
I hoped to feel your presence
Make these rooms bright
I tried to make the room brighter to see you better
Hoping you show up you got me fucked up
I was hoping you would appear, but I was wrong
Girl you always moved in silence yeh
You always moved quietly and discreetly
So I sleep with the light on hoping you'll reappear
I sleep with the light on hoping to see you again
And we'll
And then
Touch touch touch
We will touch each other
