Shadow
The Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagine the surprise, we finally let him know
He has the Devil's eyes, and that's unhealable
In between mean shadows

Sit back, relax, let your mind flow
Forget your worries, all your troubles, let them free now, let them go
In no time you'll be haunted by my words
In no time you'll be stoned like two dead birds

You know I am all you need
Bound to the top of your family tree
And I'll be there everyday
So kick and scream if you feel better, but you'll never get away

You're gonna be surprised, well I've got to let you know
You've got the Devil's eyes, now you're casting out his shadow

Sit back, relax, enjoy the show
Why you rushing? What's your hurry? You ain't got nowhere to go
Just focus on the sound of my voice
No you ain't buying hocus pocus, but I ain't selling you no choice

And you know I am all you need
Bound to the top of your family tree
And I'll be there everyday
So kick and scream if you feel better, but you'll never get away

Don't you turn out the light, don't plan on shutting my eyes




Don't you turn out the light, some things go bump in the night
Afraid of my shadow, afraid of my shadow

Overall Meaning

The Legend's song Shadow is a haunting and eerie track that delves into themes of possession, fear and control. The first verse talks about someone finally realizing that they have the Devil's eyes, a trait that cannot be healed, and how they exist in between mean shadows. This can be interpreted as the realization of being possessed by something dark and sinister which is causing them to dwell in a place of darkness and fear.


The chorus continues this theme and emphasizes the idea of being under someone's control. The voice in the song is telling the person listening to let go of their worries and relax and that soon they will be haunted by their words. This could be seen as a warning that once they let their guard down, they may be susceptible to being overtaken by something else. The voice also asserts their dominance by telling the listener that they are all they need, and that they are bound to the top of their family tree. The end of the chorus warns that the listener can kick and scream if they want, but they will never be able to get away.


The second verse is similar to the first, discussing the idea of casting out the shadow of the devil's eyes. The chorus continues the same theme and warns the listener not to turn out the light as there are things that go bump in the night. The song overall creates a sense of unease and discomfort as the listener is made to feel like they are being watched or controlled by something beyond their control.

Sorry to say, but this song is like 100 times better than many songs from theses popular groups... So sad that they doesn't receive enough attention!

@blackrose5862

dont say sorry xD is just so good but you know not everyone has the same taste of music xD

@millminn

it's a good song but it doesn't sound as professional to me and it isn't as well structured as many songs sang by popular groups that have higher budgets

@kathypark3875

@denisasabac3320
