Room Of Shadow And Light
Twilight Guardians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing figures
Movement on the wall
It sears my eyes
Your shadows revolve

Don't cover your ears
From the screams
Don't grind my nails
Under your feet

Wait and see how I'll bleed
Follow me
My room is shadow and light

Rewrite my name
With your purity
Don't keep me restrained
Please don't dissolve me

Don't cover your ears
From the screams
Don't grind my nails
Under your feet

Wait and see how I'll bleed




Follow me
My room is shadow and light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Room of Shadow and Light" by Twilight Guardians depict a mysterious and eerie setting where dancing figures cast moving shadows on the wall. The first verse describes how the shadows sear the singer's eyes, creating a disorienting and overwhelming atmosphere. Despite this, the singer urges the listener not to cover their ears from the screams and not to grind the singer's nails under their feet.


The second verse is a plea for the listener to rewrite the singer's name with their "purity" and not to keep them restrained, begging them not to dissolve the singer. The repeated refrain of "wait and see how I'll bleed, follow me, my room is shadow and light" is a haunting invitation for the listener to join the singer in this unsettling space. The phrase "my room" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's inner world or psyche, where light and darkness are entwined.

Thank goodness for 11 year old videos. Just downloaded warmstered, 2, 3, and genesis or something. Didn't realize it's essentially GOW style game.

I would've played on easy for the story then being I've done enough hack and slashers but I'm having fun and like to see game style progression on these games from 1st to last. Like for some reason I played Darkness which I always wanted to try but would never pay for. Horrible even with quips. Darkness 2 was pretty good even to 2020 standards and light-years better than 1. On that rant thanks and Peace!

once you beat the final boss, can you go back and collect the things you forgot to pick up, or will you have to start a new game?
