Shadows
The Poodles Lyrics

Don't say it, because you must.
You want to say something, but you're not sure if it's the right thing to do.

Destroy the beautiful, from love to dust.
Love can be destroyed and turned into nothing, even though it was once beautiful.

A promise, like hearts of steel.
A promise can seem strong, but it's not always easy to keep.

Can break so easily, when love's not real.
When love isn't genuine, promises can be easily broken.

We don't make much sense without it.
Love is an important part of life, and without it, things can seem confusing.

Is this the end?
When things go wrong, it can feel like it's the end of the world.

It's a new evasion.
You're avoiding the problem in a new way.

A complication.
Things are getting more complex and difficult.

We need a simplification.
You want things to be easier and less complicated.

I need your love, just like the shadow needs the light.
You need love in your life, just like a shadow needs light to exist.

Temptation.
You're being tempted by something that might not be good for you.

A sudden transformation.
Something has changed unexpectedly and drastically.

Is this a massive oration.
The situation feels like it's a big, dramatic speech or performance.

And I've become the sudden shadow in your life.
You feel like you're an afterthought or a shadow in someone else's life.

You're falling, away from me.
Someone you care about is drifting away from you.

I'm right in front of you, still I can't reach.
You're physically close to the person you care about, but emotionally distant.
