Patience, shadow. While you're sick, there's no sight to see.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Closer, shadow, volume strikes, still we're cut free
of this song, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn, take a turn for stars, to my fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Closer, shadow, volume strikes, still we're cut free
of this song, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn, take a turn for stars, to my fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?

Patience, shadow
For all your sight there's no sight to see
Little shadow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key
Little shadow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Closer, shadow, for all your strikes
Still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Paler shade inside, deeper deep we dive
Turn and turn the side to our fantasy
Little shadow, to the night will you follow me?
It looks like it's about a friend/lover who is with you until the end, and the narrator is showing their appreciation for them.
To the night (to the end) will you follow me (will you stay right next to me)?
the night is the end, because the night will erase a shadow.
pretty self explanatory.
Lullaby song from the perspective of a single mother, or a child born into a difficult situation. "Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key" to me means that she is telling this child to use these hardships for his/her advantage. key being a tool that opens doors, and darkened meaning born of hardship. and the usage of the words "little shadows" means to me that the child is a small reflection of her.
"Closer, shadow, volume strikes
Still we're caught between all this sorrow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?" It sounds like she is the child's protection "follow me" because ill keep you safe maybe.
Anyways its a beautiful song and it reminds me of my mother. It also makes me think about my son, so i guess it did its job
In the end, I definitely hear something in the place of
"Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn
Take a turn for stars, to my fantasy"
Kind of sounds like this, but I don't know if they're right... but still, maybe someone can make some guesses based on the sounds/syllables here?
Hey shade inside, dig and deeply die [or maybe, "deepened 'til we die", or "diggin' deep, we die"?]
Turn and turn your sight to a fantasy [pretty positive about this one]
I do think the end makes a bit more sense this way:
Closer, shadow
For all your strides, still, we're caught between
All this sorrow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shade inside, [...]
Turn and turn your sight to a fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?
first three lines = fan staring at her/the band for too long during the opening act, from against the wall, "in the shadows"
next line = wondering if he is dangerously obsessed
next line = common self-defense tactic of using a key in one's fist as a weapon to strike an attacker
lines 8-9 = fan moves up near the front of the stage for the performance, where he is struck with someone's camera on the brow, also where she stage dives.
final lines = pondering/communicating with his inner world
