“Shadow on the Ground” [Verse 1] Streetlights burning in the dead of night, Concrete glowing underneath the light, I’m standing still but the shadow moves, Like a silent story that I can’t lose. A wooden fence, a quiet street, The sound of nothing underneath my feet, One lonely figure stretched out long, Following me like an old-time song. [Pre-Chorus] I look behind, but there’s no one there, Just a dark reflection in the midnight air, Maybe it’s the past I left behind, Or maybe it’s the person I’m trying to find. [Chorus] I’m chasing my shadow on the ground, Trying to hear what it’s saying without a sound, Every step that I take, it follows me, A darker side of who I used to be. Under the moon, under fading light, It stretches forever through the night, I can run, but I’ll never know How far my shadow’s gonna go. [Verse 2] There’s something strange in an empty road, A thousand memories in a heavy load, The world feels still, the sky feels wide, But my shadow never leaves my side. Maybe tomorrow when the sunlight comes, I’ll finally see what I’ve become, But tonight I’m just a silhouette, Living with the things I can’t forget. [Bridge] If the darkness is a part of me, I’ll stop running and finally see, Every scar, every broken dream, Every piece of who I used to be. [Final Chorus] I’m chasing my shadow on the ground, Trying to hear what it’s saying without a sound, Every step that I take, it follows me, A darker side of who I used to be. And when the morning takes the night, Maybe I’ll finally step into the light, No more running, no more fear— My shadow’s been with me all these years. [Outro] Just a shadow on the ground… Following me home. I’m not alone.
