Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get to know your heart
Time to show your face, time to take your place
In every speck of dust
In every universe,
When you feel most alone, you will not be alone
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
And you will see my shadow on every wall
And you will see my footprint on every floor
It only takes a spark to tear the world apart
These tiny little things that make it all begin
Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
And you will see my shadow on every wall
And you'll see my reflection in your free fall
Ooh, oh ooh, ooh, oh ooh!
Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
Cause when your back's against the wall
That's when you show no fear at all
And when you're running out of time
That's when you hitch your star to mine
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
Oh ooh, oh ooh, oh ooh, oh ooh!
The song "My Shadow" by Keane is a powerful anthem about the importance of taking control of your life and facing your fears. The opening lines "It's time to make a start, to get to know your heart" encourage the listener to start a journey of self-discovery and introspection. The lyricist suggests that it's time to stop hiding and break free to show the world your true self.
The chorus, "Just shine a light on me, shine a light, I'll shine a light on you, shine a light" is like a beacon of hope, and encourages the listener to cast a light on each other to find their way out of darkness. The lines "And you will see my shadow on every wall, and you will see my footprint on every floor" suggest that the singer is always there, even in the darkest of times.
In the bridge, the lyricist says, "Cause when your back's against the wall, that's when you show no fear at all, and when you're running out of time, that's when you hitch your star to mine." These lines encourage the listener to face their fears head-on and not to be afraid to ask for help when necessary. The song's final lines, "We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by" suggest that by facing your fears and moving forward, you can create a new path for yourself.

It's time to make a start
It's time to begin a journey
To get to know your heart
To understand your own emotions
Time to show your face, time to take your place
It's time to present yourself and take on roles that suit you
In every speck of dust
In every tiny detail around us
In every universe,
In every possibility
When you feel most alone, you will not be alone
You're not alone even when it feels like it
Just shine a light on me, shine a light
Let me help you, let's support each other
I'll shine a light on you, shine a light
I'll be there for you, let me support you
And you will see my shadow on every wall
You'll feel my presence everywhere
And you will see my footprint on every floor
You'll see evidence of my support in everything you do
It only takes a spark to tear the world apart
Small things can make a big difference
These tiny little things that make it all begin
Small actions can ignite change
And you'll see my reflection in your free fall
I'm there with you even in tough times
Cause when your back's against the wall
When you're in a difficult situation
That's when you show no fear at all
That's when you need to be brave
And when you're running out of time
When you feel like time is running out
That's when you hitch your star to mine
Let's work together to achieve our goals
We won't be leaving by the same road that we came by
We'll find our own path
Oh ooh, oh ooh, oh ooh, oh ooh!
