Thanks God and our drummer Lukas who gave rise to us. It was actually his idea and dream to play the Nightwish music, which came true when he met Iveta- our very talented young singer. Our very first song was Sleeping Sun, where Iveta proved her exceptional voice and talent . During the following months, we practised one song per each rehearsal, which was not an easy process. Except the instruments and singing, there were many things to be done, such as the instrumentation of the whole orchestra. However and therefore, we are now a kind of "unique" cover band of Nightwish. The very first concert we had took place at Dlouhe Zahony in Upice, 30th April 2007. Since then, we have plenty of other succesful concerts with lots of new and satisfied fans. We are looking forward to next concerts but the most to YOU, our fans. Without you we're nothing… Thank you! And stay tuned…

Shadows
Wishmasters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sad and alone
Can't carry on
Running to unknown
All hopes are gone
My soul has died
I'm asking what I have done

The price was too high

We lived in a lie
Why didn't you tell me the truth?
You were all my life
Betrayed me enough
Tell me - Who am I now?

I want to know
From me you made the beast
All the days with you flying away
To shadows

It was a big shame
You fed me with pain
I didn't have any choice
She was my friend
And now it's the end
She's guilty just like you

Tell me, my dear
How can I stop tears
When this life changed to fear?
Have no place to go
With my wicked soul
Tell me - Who am I now?

I want to know
From me you made the beast
All the days with you flying away
To shadows

Why did you betray me?

What have you done to me?
I have to escape from the burning past

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wishmasters' song "Shadows" convey a sense of despair, betrayal, and confusion experienced by the singer. The opening lines indicate that the person is feeling sad and alone, unable to carry on, and running towards the unknown. The singer ponders over the cause of his current predicament and laments that his hopes are lost, and his soul has died. He asks, "What have I done?" The chorus highlights the fact that the singer's world has changed, and he can only see shadows where there was once light. He feels like he has been made into a beast and can't escape or understand his new identity.

The second verse delves deeper into the singer's sense of betrayal, and he questions why he wasn't told the truth about his life's reality. He speaks about how someone he considered his friend has also betrayed him and laments that he didn't have any choice in the matter. He continues to ask his betrayer how he is supposed to stop the tears and the fear that has now replaced his life. The singer feels lost and abandoned, with nowhere to go and nothing to hold on to. The song concludes with the haunting line that suggests that the singer has been scarred by the past and feels like he has to escape it.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm sad and alone
Feeling a great deal of despair and solitude

Can't carry on
Unable to persist

Running to unknown
Moving towards an area of obscurity

All hopes are gone
There is no longer any optimism

My soul has died
The essential part of existence has perished

I'm asking what I have done
Searching for reasons and explanations

The price was too high
The expenditure was excessive

We lived in a lie
We resided in a state of falsehood

Why didn't you tell me the truth?
Inquiring about deceit and secrecy

You were all my life
You were the entirety of my existence

Betrayed me enough
Deceived to a considerable degree
