Lyrics
All I’ve seen; sharpened teeth in different colours all around me. It’s so easy, so easy for me to be overwhelmed.
Barefoot in snow. You had nowhere else to go, and I’ve been focusing voices in the wind. “Don’t let her in.”
Now your bright and blinding light begins to fade. Lose your colour. Become shade. I know you for what you are, what you’ve seen and what you’ve been through. I can’t excuse you but now I understand; you are sick, you are proud and you are never backing down.
The ripples break and blur, disturb the water. Be still again.
I’m sick of thinking about this. It’s no longer constructive. I’m sick of thinking about you.
Barefoot in snow. You had nowhere else to go, and I’ve been focusing on forgetting. This is the end.

Sharpened teeth in different colours all around me
It's so easy, so easy for me to be overwhelmed
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
And I've been focusing voices in the wind
"Don't let her in"
Now your bright and blinding light begins to fade
Lose your colour
Become shade
I know you for what you are
What you've seen and what you've been through
I can't excuse you but now I understand
You are sick, you are proud, and you are never backing down
The ripples break and blur, disturb the water
Be still again
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
And I've been focusing voices in the wind
"Don't let her in"
I'm sick of thinking about this
It's no longer constructive
I'm sick of thinking about you
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
And I've been focusing on forgetting
This is the end
The lyrics to Trash Boat's "Shade" are both haunting and beautiful, as they describe the struggle of a tormented soul who is slowly losing their light and has nowhere else to turn. The opening lines "All I've seen, sharpened teeth in different colours all around me," paint a vivid picture of someone who has experienced a lot of pain and trauma, perhaps at the hands of others. It is easy for them to feel overwhelmed and lost in the sea of darkness that surrounds them. The imagery of barefoot in the snow further adds to the sense of vulnerability and isolation.
The singer seems to have some connection to the tormented soul, perhaps even a past love or a friend. They speak of focusing voices in the wind, warning them not to let her in. It's an intense and emotional scene, as the singer knows the person they care for is sick and struggling but can't seem to help them.
The song's lyrics also hint at the idea that sometimes, no matter how hard we try to hold onto our light, we all eventually fade into shade. As we lose our color and start to feel the weight of our past traumas, we become overwhelmed and unable to see a way out. The chorus, "now your bright and blinding light begins to fade, lose your color, become shade," echoes this sentiment.
Overall, "Shade" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that explores the dark side of the human experience. Through its powerful lyrics and haunting imagery, it offers a message of hope and understanding for those struggling with their own demons.

All I've seen, sharpened teeth
In different colours all around me
It's so easy, so easy for me
To be overwhelmed
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
And I've been
Focusing voices in the wind
Don't let her in
Now your bright and blinding light begins to fade
Lose your colour, become shade
I know you for what you are
What you've seen and what you've been through
I can't excuse you but now I understand
You are sick, you are proud and you are never backing down
The ripples break and blur, disturb the water
Be still again
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
And I've been
Focusing voices in the wind
Don't let her in
I'm sick of thinking about this
It's no longer constructive
I'm sick of thinking about you
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
Barefoot in snow
You had nowhere else to go
And I've been
Focusing on forgetting
This is the end

Kind of been underwhelmed in this scene as of lately, but this is the song I needed to hear. First listen and it's a total banger.
