Shadow Lyrics

Please take my body
Take my state of mind
Fool me with a cheap surprise
Gets me every time

Please take a second
To wash away the pride
Don’t even leave me
With an emptiness inside

I am nothing…

Under the ocean
Lies my bitterness (lies my bitterness)
Sea of desperation
Leaves no evidence (leaves no evidence)
Give me the bottle
Filled with turpentine (filled with turpentine)

Take me from this hell I have
And leave this world behind

I am nothing…

See me fade away
Watch me disappear
Lost without a trace
I’m everything I feared
Can anyone find a way
To help me ‘cause I’m
Nothing but a shadow

I feel so wounded
Kick me when I’m down
I search the dirt below
And look at what I found
I… I am nothing…

See me fade away
Watch me disappear
Lost without a trace
I’m everything I feared
Can anyone find a way
To help me ‘cause I’m
Nothing but a shadow

‘Cause I’m nothing
But a shadow

I, I, I, I

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I reckon this song is about feeling like no one cares about you, and that when u die no one will remember you, he feels like he is empty and there is nothing for him here

It's about Layne Staley's death.
