Shadow
The Last Void Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You keep on believing you're somehow immortal
That no one can touch you, and life isn't for real
You proclaim your existence, convince yourself that you can
But when push comes to shoves, you won't run the distance

You like to think that you're so fucking perfect
You parader yourself around walking strong and tall
but everybody knows

CHORUS
You don't know
How far you've gone
You're involved in things you can't control
You lost grasp of reality
Who are you now, you don't know

I'm tired of all the lies
Your continuous contradictions
You got lost in your act
Can no longer find your truth

CHORUS

You're just a shadow of what was
I once knew somebody else
Whose eyes am I staring into now
You've got to wake up from this
Farse

I don't know who you are anymore
I don't even know your name
I don't want to see your face anymore
I want you to go away

CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Last Void's song Shadow are about a person who believes they are invincible and can handle anything, but in reality, they are lost and don't know who they are anymore. The first verse talks about the person's false sense of immortality and delusions of grandeur. They believe they are unbeatable but will crumble under pressure. The second verse describes how the person is too focused on appearing perfect and strong, which is just a front for their true inner turmoil. The chorus talks about how the person is in over their head and has lost their grip on reality. They no longer know who they are or what they stand for.

The bridge talks about how the singer is tired of the person's lies and contradictions, how they have lost their way, and how the singer no longer recognizes who they are. The song ends with the line "I want you to go away," indicating the singer's desire to distance themselves from the person and their destructive behavior.

Overall, Shadow is a powerful exploration of the human experience of perspective and self-awareness. It's a reminder that even when we think we have everything under control, we can still get lost in our own delusions and lose sight of our own reality.
