There’s a guy, just 21, and he’s in a really dark place. He’s got this heavy secret, feeling totally alone. He’s ready to give in, he doesn’t think anyone cares, so he keeps it all inside. But deep down, he’s scared and he’s isolated himself. He doesn’t want to be left alone in that darkness, but he doesn’t know how to reach for help and fears no one will reach back if he does. He made a couple attempts but stopped short of his true feelings, he kept them hidden because it was too hard to let his friends in. He didn’t know how. This represents his shout-out to his friends looking for a sign.
This is for everyone in the struggle, to say it’s time to talk, time to listen, and time to help each other out. It’s okay to ask for a hand to pull you back into the light.
Shadows: My Struggle Within
{to Demons by Imagine Dragons}
When the light is gone,
And all hope feels drawn,
And the heroes that cheered are long withdrawn,
When ambitions crash,
And emotions clash,
At my lowest point when my dreams were dashed.
I want to bare my soul,
Bring you into my fold,
But with the shadows inside,
I want to run and hide.
No matter how hard I try,
This darkness is alive,
This is the battle I wage,
This is my silent rage.
When you sense my despair, look into my heart,
It’s where my shadows dart,
It’s where my shadows dart.
Don’t get to close, please don’t embark,
It’s where my shadows dart,
It’s where my shadows dart.
As the scene unfurls,
It’s the twilight of our worlds,
When the stars fade out, and the darkness swirls.
So I’ve carved my plot,
In this lonely spot,
And they’ll find the chaos, the battles I’ve fought.
I don’t want to pull you under,
But I am torn asunder,
This is all for me,
The dark I cannot flee.
No matter how much I need,
It’s the dark I feed,
This is my soul’s decree,
This is my soul’s decree.
When you sense my despair, look into my heart,
It’s where my shadows dart,
It’s where my shadows dart.
Don’t get to close, please don’t embark,
It’s where my shadows dart,
It’s where my shadows dart.
They says it’s what you make,
I say it’s up to fate,
It’s etched within my soul,
It’s time to let it go.
Your eyes, so fiercely bright,
I wanna hold that sight,
But I can’t escape this now,
Unless you show me how.
When you sense my despair, look into my heart,
It’s where my shadows dart,
It’s where my shadows dart.
Don’t get to close, please don’t embark,
It’s where my shadows dart,
It’s where my shadows dart.
