🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics describe a quiet confrontation with one’s hidden self, where pain is masked by strength and exhaustion builds from constant motion. Through solitary movement, the shadow becomes a symbol of self acceptance, allowing vulnerability to surface instead of being concealed. By surrendering to the rhythm, the narrator finds freedom in honesty and reaches a moment of self recognition where pretending is no longer necessary.
