“Shadows” was the second single of Wolves at the Gate’s fifth studio album Eulogies. The song explores Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” through the lens of Christianity.
Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, also called “Plato’s Cave” is a thought experiment written by the Ancient Greek philosopher. It is...
[Verse 1: Nick Detty]
I was staring deep into the dark of a cave
With apparitions dancing slowly on my imminent grave
Six feet down and I'm falling asleep
You know the devil's in the details, so I'm
[Chorus: Steve Cobucci]
Staring deep into the darkness of a cave
Thinking I could only dream about the light and the sun
Just a shadow on my wall
Thinking I would only feel the dark of night
[Post-Chorus: Nick Detty]
Go
[Verse 2: Nick Detty]
These ghosts grab my throat saying this would be all
I'd never know of life, know of hope, all I'd ever know of light
The night fell upon me like the swell of a wave
Until the daybreak sparked the words of light
To turn and face the sun now
[Breakdown: Nick Detty]
As fire fills my eyes
And watch the shadows die
[Chorus: Steve Cobucci]
Staring deep into thе darkness of a cave
Thinking I could only dream about thе light and the sun
Just a shadow on my wall
Thinking I would only fear the dark of night
[Bridge: Steve Cobucci]
Face the sun
And the shadows will all fall behind
Staring deep in the light I now find
All the doubts of the dark and the night
Have been swallowed in light
[Chorus: Steve Cobucci]
Staring deep into the darkness of a cave (Darkness of a cave)
Feel the warmth of light (Feel the warmth of light)
No more shadows on my wall (Shadows on my wall)
You swallowed up the night
I cannot forget (I cannot forget)
The brilliant infinite (The brilliant infinite)
Turned my doubt into sight (Doubt into sight)
And swallowed up the night
Swallowed up the night
[Outro: Nick Detty]
So turn and face the sun now
So turn and face the sun now
