Breakfast With My Shadow Lyrics

Lyric discussion by pipeline 

Cover art for Breakfast With My Shadow lyrics by Cloud Cult

As said elsewhere, lead singer/songwriter Craig Minowa lost his 2-year old son previous to this song being written. In interviews he spoke on the time, saying he wrote about 100 songs whilst alone in his home, never leaving, trapped in his own grief.

In the interview he said that the songs would mostly never see the light of day, that there was no way to produce them in any effective way. It seems this is one of them or, at least, of the same mind.

This is a man alone having experiences in his own mind, wishing to %&$^ing God or anyone that if he just could wish hard enough that wish could become true again.

I have a really hard time listening to Cloud Cult.....
