문을 닫고 불을 꺼도 사라지지가 않아
내 뒤를 따라 걷는 너의 기억
어둠에 두 눈을 가리고 몸서릴 쳐봐도 왜 너야 왜
머릿속을 지우고 태워도 네 얼굴만 더 되살아나
Oh eh oh 사랑했던 모습이 떠올라 나를 따라와 매일 괴롭히는 너
Hey oh hey, you're like a shadow, oh eh oh
내 귓가를 맴돌고 맴돌던 네 목소리가 나를 떠나지 않아
Hey oh hey, 도망쳐도 나는 여전히 다시 제자리
Oh, you're like a shadow

손에 쥘 수 없는 기억 더는 의미가 없어
눈 뜨면 바람처럼 사라질 너 yeah eh eh eh
갈수록 길어진 그림자 뒤돌아서 봐도 왜 너야 왜
네 모습을 지우고 태워도 그 흔적만 더 짙어져 가
Oh eh oh 사랑했던 모습이 떠올라 나를 따라와 매일 괴롭히는 너
Hey oh hey, you're like a shadow, oh eh oh
내 귓가를 맴돌고 맴돌던 네 목소리가 나를 떠나지 않아
Hey oh hey, 도망쳐도 나는 여전히 다시 제자리
Oh, you're like a shadow
조각난 기억만 (영원히 함께할 거야)
내 맘 더 깊이 박혀와 (날 지울 수 없어)
다시 뜨는 빛 틈 새로 날 찌르는 your shadow
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la oh eh oh
마지막 네 모습이 떠올라 나를 따라와 자꾸 비웃는 듯해

"Shadow" is a song about a person being haunted by their past memories of someone. The song begins by describing that even when the door is closed and the lights have been turned off, the memories of the person still lingers on like a shadow. The person keeps hearing the voice and feeling the presence of the past love interest. Despite trying to erase their memories and burn their face within their mind, the person still can’t help but remember them.
As the song progresses, the person becomes increasingly frustrated as they feel like they can’t escape this person’s hold on them. Their memories still remain vivid and their image seems to be clearer than ever before. The person describes how even if they tried to turn around and run away, the shadow still follows and doesn't let go.
The song ends with the person wishing they could let go of these memories and move on. However, the past memory still remains engraved deep within their heart like a shadow that refuses to leave.
