Some things disappear.
The room doesn’t notice.
Shadows On The Wall is about the way someone can remain present long after they have gone. Empty rooms, familiar streets and ordinary nights keep pulling old memories back into view, until letting go feels less like a decision and more like trying to escape something that has become part of the surroundings.
Shadows.. on the wall.. calling me
Empty rooms and flickering light
Your voice still echoes through the night
I trace the lines where you used to lie
But every memory makes me cry
I reach out but you’re not there
Just cold air and my despair
I tell myself it’s over now
But my heart won’t allow
Shadows on the wall, they keep your name
Shadows on the wall, calling me insane
I can’t let go, I can’t break free
You’re still inside of me
Shadows on the wall.. shadows on the wall
(Oh-oh) Shadows on the wall
Streetlights bleed into the rain
I walk these paths again in vain
Your laughter haunts the silent air
A ghost I feel but cannot share
One more night to chase the past
Hoping this ache won’t last
I whisper secrets to the dark
But it tears me apart
Shadows on the wall, they keep your name
Shadows on the wall, driving me insane
I can’t let go, I can’t break free
You’re still inside of me
Shadows on the wall.. shadows on the wall
(Oh-oh) Shadows on the wall
If I could turn the clock around
Would you still be here on solid ground?
Or am I lost in endless night
Holding on with all my might
Shadows on the wall, they keep your name
Shadows on the wall, calling out again
I can’t let go, won’t set you free
You’re the only part of me
Shadows on the wall.. shadows on the wall
(Oh-oh) Shadows.. on the wall
Shadows.. calling me
