This song is about drug addiction, the shadow of the wind is literally "smoke".
"And the first one's always free". Could it be more clear?
It has every step from Drug Addiction line after line, even the suffering from the man and his family:
"Every day is an inquisition
Who are you? What are you? Why?
I'm alive, I belong, I'll be back
It's a half truth, still a whole lie".
This is a wonderful song, RJD is a genius song-writer.
