About Shadows Lengthen

"Shadows Lengthen" delves into the initial realization during adolescence that time is fleeting and life is changing. The song uses the metaphor of lengthening shadows to represent the transition from the innocence of youth to the awareness of adulthood and mortality.

Shadows Lengthen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Golden hues fade into gray
Footsteps echo far away
Staring at the crimson sky
Questions surface, drifting by

[Pre-Chorus]
Endless days now move so fast
Hold on... tight...

[Chorus]
Shadows lengthen on the ground
Whispers lost but now they're found
Time reveals the hidden lines
Youthful heartbeats trace designs
Shadows lengthen, we begin to see

[Verse 2]
Leaves that fall and seasons change
Faces unfamiliar, strange
Mirrors show a different face
Searching for our own true place

[Pre-Chorus]
The sun dips low, the light retreats
We feel the pulse of life's heartbeat

[Bridge]
Questions we never thought to ask
Emerge from underneath the mask
The road ahead both dark and bright
Guided by the fading light

[Final Chorus]
Shadows lengthen on the ground
Echoes of a distant sound
Embracing all that we can be
Unveiling our identity
As shadows lengthen, we begin to see

[Outro]
That twilight paints the world anew
A canvas touched by every hue
In the dusk, we find our voice
At the crossroads, make our choice

[Transition to "Crossroads and Choices"]
