Shadow
The Murmurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sit in the corner stone cold by the nightmare
shadow, shadow
convict me for living the lie I was prone to
nothing but empty hearts, empty, empty smiles,
empty dreams, empty cries
I never knew, that isn't true
what was I thinking
was it all drinking
I'd seen enough lies, heared enough lies
what was I thinking
there, there
shadow, shadow
forgive me for letting youy down in this lifetime
shadow, shadow
but you let go long before my chance to save you
the could of's, the would of's
too late for answers
I need you now, I miss you now
I'll love you forever
there, there
baby, baby, baby
don't be scared, it's only me
smile, c'mon let me see you smile
there that's better
The Murmurs's song "Shadow" is a melancholic yet introspective ballad about accountability and remorse for past actions. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been living a lie and perhaps made mistakes that ultimately led to a loss or a separation from a loved one. The line "convict me for living the lie I was prone to" implies guilt and a desire for restructuring one's perspective or habits. The song alludes to the feeling of emptiness that comes with regret and the desire for forgiveness. The lines "nothing but empty hearts, empty, empty smiles, empty dreams, empty cries" indicate the absence of feeling or fulfillment in a life that was lived inauthentically.
The second verse mentions the concept of "what if" scenarios, suggesting that if the singer could go back in time, things might have turned out differently. The lines "forgive me for letting you down in this lifetime, but you let go long before my chance to save you" imply that the relationship or event in question has already come to an end and the singer was unable to reconcile or patch things up. The chorus repeats the word "there" twice, serving as a symbolic placeholder for a lost loved one or a better future.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the intersections of guilt, regret, and hope. It touches on the human tendency to make mistakes, but also the desire to grow and change for the better.
