The lyrics of Wagon Christ's song Shadows are open to interpretation, but they seem to be evoking a sense of darkness and foreboding. The repetition of the word "shadows" creates a mood of unease, as if the singer is being followed by unseen terrors. The line "you walk beside a shadow" adds a personal element to the song, as if the singer is warning the listener that they too may be pursued.
The use of the word "darkness" adds to the sense of threat, as if the shadows themselves are malevolent. The line "follows quiet shadows" suggests that the danger is silent and stealthy, and that the singer is in danger even when there seems to be no immediate threat.
Overall, the lyrics of Shadows are minimalist but effective in creating a mood of menace and suspense. The repetition of the word "shadows" is particularly effective in establishing a sense of unease, while the line "you walk beside a shadow" adds an element of personal vulnerability to the song.

Luke Vibert is the best sampler in history. His ability to sample is off the chain. Shadows, is a masterpiece. I've played that to people and they cannot conceive of what he's done. Music creates a lot of emotions. Rock, classical, folk etc. It can make you happy or sad. Luke's music is the only electronic music I've heard that's brought a lump to my throat. It ticks a box deeper than the surface
