Shadow and Soul Lyrics

This is not for you
You don't belong here
Caught in my soul
Caught inside the shadow
Buried, I kept you
Helpless, I'm reaching out

Waiting for me
Lost between

Shadow and soul
My untold still waits
Find me in the dark
I'll meet you below
Shadow and soul

My darkest love
You live in secret
My heart unknown
It calls, it cries to reach you
Hunger, abandon
I hid you right beneath

Dying darkly (suffer)
Arise, my only

Shadow and soul
My untold still waits
Find me in the dark
I'll meet you below
Shadow and soul

Dark and light
Caught between, caught between
Endless night
Underneath, underneath
Hunger
My untold, I'm waiting
Find me inside, the endless night
Our endless night
My furtive soul
A heart unknown
It's buried alive
The boundary fades between

Shadow and soul
My untold still waits
Find me inside
The endless night
Our endless night

Cover art for Shadow and Soul lyrics by Red

This is about someone who is sinning and they are telling God to leave because they dont want him to see the crimes they are committing. God ends up trying to help that person, and they finally break down to where they are trapped between "Light and dark" wanting to let go of sin, but just not ready yet.

My Interpretation

@Evanecence2001 Very great interpretation and I love that you don't dodge around "the God topic" like a lot of Red's listeners tend to, though Red has said very explicitly they are Christians. I've always heard this song very similarly, but I feel like the song is also trying to represent how much time seems to have passed since the person was living in darkness, based on the "endless night" line.
