Shadow Of The Day Lyrics

Cover art for Shadow Of The Day lyrics by Linkin Park

This song speaks of someone in great pain to me. This speaks of someone who has suffered a severe loss. Someone very close to this person has recently died unexpectedly. The main person in this song is very depressed because of their loss. Their friends remaining know that the main character is depressed and suicidal. That is the verse about friends pleading for the person to stay. The main character comes to realize that he has t go on with his life and that he loves his friends too much to go through with his suicide. The sun sets on his depression of his friends’ death. He moves on with his life with his friends help.
