The Day Your Shadow Became A Friend

from Alone Together by MEÜTE

/

lyrics

At the autumn of my thoughts, I reckon the cold
The overwhelming mist that covered my lie so well I trusted it
Frozen to the bones but so thrilled at your side
I’d never forsake the warmth of your smile.
I enjoyed so much our long walks at dusk
The only moment I couldn’t discern
Our shadows on the frozen ground
Pale and blurry, like they were one
Like we were one.
At the autumn of my thoughts, I reckon the cold
The overwhelming mist that covered my lie so well I trusted it.

A will to be blind
A need to shut down
That black light of mine
A vow out of spite.

It might have been some kind of satisfaction
Knowing my bias for self-depletion
Getting me crawling around
I befriended your shadow only to make it mine
To form a distorted version of a us
The reflection of a monster
I’d never meet, a lovely beast.
I still cherish those prompt but lovely hours
Where, the eyes fixed on the pavement,
I could happily observe
That shadows never overlap
They just melt
No matter the proximity
I fed that lovely beast on purpose
But I got devoured by its greed
I became the ever hanging shadow behind your back
The one you never asked for.
