Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just a shadow
In your dreams I walk away
you won't recognize my face
in the place we used to lay
threre's a call you can't erase
in the corner of your eye
in the darkness of the night
I'm just a shadow
alone on empty streets
you can barely move your feet
find a memory of peace
but it's just out of your reach
in the corner of your eye, in the darkness of the night,
im just a shadow x4
im just a shadow
I'm just a shadow
Shadow,
I'm just a shadow
The song Shadow by Tyler Hunt paints the picture of someone who is no longer present in the life of the person they once shared a deep connection with. The singer is now reduced to a mere shadow, only appearing in the other person's dreams and memories. The lyrics "in your dreams I walk away, you won't recognize my face, in the place we used to lay" suggest that the separation between the two was not entirely amicable. The phrase "a call you can't erase" further emphasizes the haunting effect the singer has on the other person, as they are unable to fully forget their past relationship.
The second verse of the song reinforces the feeling of being a shadow, as the singer walks alone on empty streets. The other person's memory of the relationship is out of reach, like a distant memory that they can't quite grasp. The repetition of the phrase "in the corner of your eye, in the darkness of the night" creates a sense of eeriness and suggests that the other person can't escape the singer's presence even when they are no longer physically there.
Overall, the song Shadow by Tyler Hunt is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a relationship and the lingering emotions that can haunt someone long after it has ended. The imagery of being reduced to a shadow is a powerful metaphor for the feeling of being forgotten, yet still present in some way.
