Figuring life out

Learning how to cope with rejection

Starting to accept the fact that love is pain.

This lyric highlights the fantasy world we build in our minds when we are infatuated with someone. The repetitive technique of each verse emphasises the persistence and determination of the human mind. We love to convince ourselves we are in love, even if we have not "met [them] yet." The lyric has a slightly comical undertone. The overall vibes/atmosphere of this song is sexy, euphoric and romantic. You are guaranteed a satisfied audience. It fits perfectly into most genres.

This lyric depicts our unwillingness to face our "shadow" selves, hence the title. These are the parts of us that are not necessarily pretty. We push these traumatic, sinful or evil natures to the back of our minds. We hope that they never resurface to avoid feeling guilt and shame. This song addresses that. It is quite direct and real. The vibes/atmosphere of this song are foreboding, dark and contemplative. Its foreshadowing undertone adds to its mystery. You are guaranteed a moved audience. It fits perfectly into most genres.
