Fade Like A Shadow Lyrics
You grew wings, on your heart
But you let it out your ribcage,
and it flew into the dark
Like a ghost, just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most..
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday, starting to notice you're fading away
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
You want eyes, in your hands,
and power in your pocket,
as I stop to watch you dance
With your hips swinging they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again..
Got your hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again, again and again, and again
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about you everyday, starting to notice..
Two steps forward and one step back,
Make up in love what you think I lack,
You've got a vampire on your neck,
Everybody knows what happens next
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
But you let it out your ribcage,
and it flew into the dark
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most..
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it everyday, starting to notice you're fading away
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
and power in your pocket,
as I stop to watch you dance
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again..
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, got your
hips swinging, they shake, hips swinging, again, again and again, and again
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about you everyday, starting to notice..
Make up in love what you think I lack,
You've got a vampire on your neck,
Everybody knows what happens next
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow..

I partially disagree with what Wikipedia says about this song:
"The song talks about accepting that a relationship has run its course, with the lovers parting ways."
I think the feeling is one-ended, meaning the other person has already came to this conclusion and the singer is suddenly realizing this, although maybe she still loves them.
"You've got a vampire on your neck, Everybody knows what happens next
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade.. Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow.."
These lines make me thing of the whole Twilight Saga book/movie because when Bella meets Edward she totally leaves behind all of her other friends.
So "You've got a vampire on your neck" is like this person has met someone and they are starting to fade from everyone else's lives by only focusing on the "vampire."
The other person has found someone new, and is therefore fading from the singers life.
"You want eyes In your hands And power in your pocket As I stop to watch you dance"
Anyone, please explain me what does it mean..
This is what it says on Wikipedia: Tunstall expanded on the song to M Is For Music: "The song is about when I met someone who had a really negative effect on me, and even though they were still alive, I experienced these almost visitation-like hauntings that I couldn't shake off. I took to wearing a t-shirt with the person's name on to try and exorcise them, which finally worked."
That explains the like a ghost part. Also, I'm convinced it's "Got your head swinging, your snake head swinging" rather than hips. But I don't know!
