Shade Lyrics

Lyric discussion by EternalTearsOfSorrow 

Cover art for Shade lyrics by Silverchair

I think the songs referring to bottling up the anger inside and going to a dark place (the shade) & shutting down so to speak. The lyrics make reference to talking to someone to help you through the tough times. I also believe it's also about bullying & talking to someone about it as opposed to letting being bullied destroy you as a person.
