| UNKLE – Burn My Shadow (feat. Ian Astbury) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Ok bear with me on this one...kinda in a depressed mood at the moment. but. I have burned my tomorrows: You waste every opportunity that life has thrown to you to become something great and spectacular. And I stand inside today: The results of those actions you chose throughout life. Stuck in the realization of the fact that you aren't really anything you hoped you would be. At the edge of the future: There's no turning back. Where you are at is where you are. Back when you were still dreaming of what you wanted to be is right there, but you are at the edge and cant get over there. And my dreams all fade away: You become a stuck in the same old same old. Just going through the motions. Not exactly happy with life. But you do it just because. And everything you dreamed about is slowly leaving you since you are stuck. And burn my shadow away: [[this is where you really have to bear with me]] but. When i hear this song, i think of your shadow as that person you always wanted to be. shadows are always dark spots on the ground. The person in the dark. Who you truly are. who you wanted to be as a child. and now you burn your ambitions and become copacetic with the fact that you are what you are now. and it hurts to think about how much you didnt become what you wanted to. so you burn your shadow away. just my thoughts. |
