Shadows Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're harbouring a private sadness
I still remember all your magic
Even if you don't
The shadows always seemed to find you
Thought no one knows you better than I do
I'll just have to wait here patient for them to go
For I know you'll come back around
I'm looking for a little light
That the shadows cannot find
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd give it all back
If I could just find a way to help you cope
And pull you out whenever they come
The harder I try, yeah, the tighter they hold
I know, I know I should know better
But with you I don't
[Chorus]
Just stay on the line
Give me a little time
I want you and all of thе shadows that walk beside you
Just stay on the linе
I'll be there in time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
[Verse 2]
I try to wrap my arms around you
But someone has already found you
And they won't let you go
The shadows know you better than I do
They seem to know exactly where to find you
I'll just have to wait here patient for them to go
What if you don't come back around?
In this blue twilight
I found a place that we could hide
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd give it all back
If I could just find a way to help you cope
And pull you out whenever they come
The harder I try, yeah, the tighter they hold
I know, I know I should know better
But with you I don't
[Chorus]
Just stay on the line
Give me a little time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
Just stay on the line
I'll be there in time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
[Bridge]
I just need a moment to compose myself
I just need a moment to compose myself
I just need a moment to compose myself
I just need a moment
[Chorus]
Just stay on the line
Give me a little time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you
Just stay on the line
I'll be there in time
I want you and all of the shadows that walk beside you

What did Bear's Den say about "Shadows"?
We had a lot of fun making the song and experimenting with drum machines, building songs around a piano as opposed to guitar and trying to create something that felt really powerful with both a darkness and a beauty to it.
Mental health definitely became an important theme on this record. Hopefully...
What have the artists said about the song?
Andrew Davie:
This is about the idea of being close to someone who’s really struggling with depression, and that’s something I can really relate to in my own life. There’s been multiple friends and relatives who’ve struggled with depression, and I think it’s a very difficult place to be when people...
