At first I thought she was saying "oh, someone listening in the shadows," which sounded to me like she was so lonely that she was speaking to random strangers. But then I heard "dear someone in the shadows" and "I only talk to you sometimes/And though I ask for help in riddles/It is clearer in my mind, clearer in my mind" led me to believe that the person in the song is talking to God. (Also, I myself am an atheist, so no, I'm not just projecting. ;])
