In Her Shadow Lyrics
She is at the end chasing her own fading light
Running from her shadow in the name of living
Searched for worth in the lust of men
Paid in blood in different beds
Reading sex as true love
They never meant a thing
Her addiction brought her a world
Of coward boys and of cheater girls
Looking for an easy way out of being ordinary
So she boarded their sinking ships
And crossed their red needle sea
Drowning truth to live her lie
That she was ordinary
In her fading shadow
Running from her shadow in the name of living
Searched for worth in the lust of men
Paid in blood in different beds
Reading sex as true love
They never meant a thing
Her addiction brought her a world
Of coward boys and of cheater girls
Looking for an easy way out of being ordinary
So she boarded their sinking ships
And crossed their red needle sea
Drowning truth to live her lie
That she was ordinary
In her fading shadow

Great kind of "interlude" song... it kind of calms you down before 'Eagles Become Vultures' rips your face off.
yeah, i agree, but this is probably my favourite song on the albumn, i love the steady build up...then eagles become vultures comes on and you have the urge to tie your boss down to his desk...
Amazing lyrics. Jake just nails it, lyrically and vocally. The instrumental part is also top-notch. A good song that slows the breakneck pace of the album, then it goes back to pounding your head inside out.
