This song is about the weight of loneliness; its about the struggle to overcome your lonely tendencies. The idea is that your shadow will never let you go, or hurt you, and can be a great friend in a time of solace. However, its hard to move on when your only peer is your own loving shadow. You'll convince yourself that you're never ready to show your true colors, and that no one would ever understand them anyhow. This is a very powerful cycle, kin to powerful emotions which is symbolized by the waterfall. But regardless of how strong any of your feelings are, even if living this way makes you feel better, you'll always be moving slow and steady past the monsters in your head. You'll never become anything better if you stay cooped up, with the lights out, somehow dancing still with your shadow.
