Shadow On The Sun

to me videos and movies warp the actual meaning of a song but thats just me, and I wont relate it to the movie collateral. having that said i think it is about someone has such a connection with another person that they knew what each other wanted without saying anything.

Once upon a time I was of the mind To lay your burden down And leave you where you stood And you believed I could You'd seen it done before I could read your thoughts Tell you what you saw And never say a word But now all that is gone Over with and done Never to return

Then one of the two was lost to a death or some other cause and the one that was left just felt that there was nothing left to live for and became lifeless, and as for being the shadow on the sun, to me that means when others look at that person all they see is something that could have been brighter but became a shadow due to the loss that was suffered.

I can tell you why People die alone I can tell you I'm A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss Looking for a cause And never really sure Nothing but a hole To live without a soul And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why People go insane I can show you how You could do the same I can tell you why The end will never come I can tell you I'm A shadow on the sun

As for the last verse I believe that it refers to how there is still things going on within that person but he/she shuts everyone out because they feel like they are alone in the world and when they remember (drop of flame) the one that was lost they remember what life was like before the one was lost.

Shapes of every size Move behind my eyes Doors inside my head Bolted from within Every drop of flame Lights a candle in Memory of the one Who lived inside my skin

That is what this song means to me broken down into a few parts, hope this can add to some conversation and give those that have no opinions something to go off of.
