All three were born and raised in a small, industrial town in Western Pennsylvania, where the only escape from the monotonous life was through music. The band was officially formed in 2010, when the friends were facing the challenges of adulthood. The name Anguished Symptom symbolizes their struggle with their inner demons and their desire to express their feelings through music. Their unique sound is a reflection of their pain, resilience, and hope.

Title:

“Shadows of Yesterday”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1- C, Am, F, G)
In the corners of my mind, I fight the darkness (C, Am)
Struggling to leave the past behind (F, G)
The echoes of laughter, the whispers of pain (C, Am)
In the shadows of yesterday, I remain (F, G)

(Chorus- Am, F, C, G)
Shadows of Yesterday, don’t you fade away (Am, F)
You’re the scars that remind me, of my yesterdays (C, G)
In the silence of the night, you’re my only ray (Am, F)
Oh, Shadows of Yesterday (C, G)

(Verse 2- C, Am, F, G)
Bleeding through the pages of time, are my memories (C, Am)
With every heartbeat, echoes a rhyme (F, G)
A symphony of sorrow, a melody of regret (C, Am)
In the shadows of yesterday, I’m stuck in a silhouette (F, G)

(Chorus- Am, F, C, G)
Shadows of Yesterday, don’t you fade away (Am, F)
You’re the compass that guides me, in my darkest days (C, G)
In the echoes of the dawn, you’re my only fray (Am, F)
Oh, Shadows of Yesterday (C, G)
