Shadows Lyrics

Lyric discussion by elasticheart 

Cover art for Shadows lyrics by Ryan Adams

I feel a bit weird being the only one commenting (so long after the song came out) but man, this is such a heartbreaking song. I think it's pretty clear it's about watching someone wither away before your eyes and die. So hauntingly beautiful.

My Interpretation

@elasticheart I think it’s about regret before you die. Feeling like you don’t know how much time you will have before the regret sinks in.
