Shades
Tales in Space Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawling in my space
Safe from all those eyes
That look at me that way
I try to get a .
Of what we really are
Now think we're too fall down
Until someone calls me out
Could it fell this good
All the time
Could it fell this good
I call it in my dreams
And shades who make belive
That that way I can see
What sepparates reality
From these messages I get
What happend to my friends
They left me out again
So I break out on my own
And I'm coming, love
Could it fell this good
All the time
Could it fell this good
All the time
Could it fell this good
I think I found
A place to I count out
And I could stare the days, the days
Even I'm on my own
Could it fell this good
All the time
Could it fell this good
All the time
Could it fell this good
All the time
I'm coming, love
The lyrics of Shades by Tales in Space seem to be exploring the idea of self-discovery and finding a safe space in the midst of social pressure and scrutiny. The opening lines, "I'm falling on my arms, Crawling in my space," suggest a feeling of vulnerability and the need to retreat from the world to find a sense of safety. The following lines, "Safe from all those eyes, That look at me that way," further emphasize the pressure to conform to societal expectations and the discomfort that can come from feeling constantly scrutinized by others.
The chorus of the song, "Could it feel this good, All the time," seems to be expressing a desire for the feeling of safety and self-discovery to be a constant state rather than a fleeting moment. The line "I think I found, A place to count out," suggests that the singer has found a safe space to explore their identity and escape the pressure of society.
The final line, "I'm coming, love," could be interpreted as a declaration of the singer's return to the world, confident in their newfound sense of self.
Overall, the lyrics of Shades seem to be a commentary on the pressure to conform to societal norms and the importance of finding a safe space to explore one's identity.
