Story behind the song
There was a period in my life where I couldn't sleep, and I began to think about why it was. When this would happen, I'd get up and get a drink, and we kept a nightlight in the hall. I'd see the shadows, and think about all the light in my room from my equipment, my clock, my stereo, and the moon, and I began to think about living in a figurative dark, and sinking so low you thought you'd never come out of it. The shadows i saw on my walls got me to thinking about people living in darkness, and not being able to fall into any "sleep" because the shadows haunt them and remind them of what they've done, either for good or for bad.
Lyrics
Shadows No longer here alone The shadows overcome Drag me further into dark And deeper into hate A flash of light is all I have Watching over me I’m running from the thought That I was chasing It’s coming back at me [Chorus] Overcome by darkness Overpowered by hate Sinking into the depths Of shadows and defeat A shadow of my past Is all that’s left of me A phantom life is all you’ll find Buried deep in me. Maybe it’s the reason why I can’t sleep at night Maybe it explains why I can’t shut out the light. But as I try to close my eyes And make sleep come to me Shadows darker than the night Keep me awake, and I can’t flee. [Chorus] [Chorus]
