Shadows
Stefanie Heinzmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it's all a race for the spotlight
Everybody's talkin', talkin'
But we're never really talkin', talkin'
Feel like a wheel in the system
Do we wanna keep it real or distant?
Everybody's talkin', talkin'
But are we really talkin', talkin'?
And I got something new
Spinnin' in my head, spinnin' in my head
Found my brand new tune
And now I'm done chasin' shadows
These shadows, they're all over me
I'll take my chances
'Cause chances is all that we need
Feelin' like kids in the summer
Feel like we can do what we wanna
Dancin' with shadows
These shadows
All we gotta do is fall in love (ayo, ayo)
All we gotta do is fall in love (ayo, ayo)
You can be all you wanna be
You can make a choice in a heartbeat
You can hear it callin', callin'
I'm sure you hear it callin', callin'
Come on take a ride on this new road
And I think we were wrong, so let it go
Just keep on walkin', walkin'
We never stop walkin', walkin'
And I got something new
Spinnin' in my head, spinnin' in my head
Found my brand new tune
And now I'm done chasin' shadows
These shadows, they're all over me
I'll take my chances
'Cause chances is all that we need
Feelin' like kids in the summer
Feel like we can do what we wanna
Dancin' with shadows
These shadows
All we gotta do is fall in love (ayo, ayo)
All we gotta do is fall in love (ayo, ayo)
Try to see the little things
Your heart tells you everything
Love comes 'round and 'round again
Try to see the little things
Your heart tells you everything
Love comes 'round and 'round again
And now I'm done chasin' shadows
These shadows, they're all over me
I'll take my chances
'Cause chances is all that we need
Feelin' like kids in the summer
Feel like we can do what we wanna
Dancin' with shadows
These shadows
All we gotta do is fall in love (ayo, ayo)
La la la la la (ayo, ayo)
All we gotta do is fall in love
The song "Shadows" by Stefanie Heinzmann is about finding oneself and embracing individuality in a world that seems to be constantly racing towards the spotlight. The lyrics touch on the pressure that comes with trying hard to fit in and be accepted, but ultimately realizing that the key to happiness is to stop chasing shadows and embrace the uniqueness that makes us who we are. The chorus encourages listeners to live in the moment and take chances, reminding us that love and freedom are all we need.
The first verse talks about how the singer used to try hard, but it never felt right. They were constantly surrounded by people talking, yet no one was really communicating. They felt like a "wheel in the system" and were unsure whether to keep it "real or distant." The second verse encourages listeners to take a chance on a new road and let go of what is holding them back. It encourages us to see the little things that our hearts tell us and reminds us that love will always come around again.
Overall, the song's message is one of hope and encouragement to be yourself and let go of the pressures put on us by society. It encourages us to take chances and find happiness in living in the moment.

Ist halt so. Für ein Lied ist das sssssssoooooooo unterbewertett. Ich meine ernsthaft jetzt, das Lied läuft doch auch die ganze Zeit im Radio, wieso bleibt es dann noch unterbewertet?💔❤️😔
