4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Beneath the city lights, another lonely night,
Searching for something, that’s never in sight.
My soul is aching, my heart keeps breaking,
In the realm of shadows, I keep partaking.
(Chorus)
I’m chasing shadows, in this concrete jungle,
Lost in the echoes, of a world that’s crumbled.
In this manic maze, I’m forever fumbled,
Chasing shadows, till I’m humbled.
(Verse 2)
Walking on shards of dreams, stitched by rusty seams,
Dancing with the devil, in his wicked schemes.
Promises broken, words left unspoken,
In the abyss of shadows, I remain awoken.
(Bridge)
In the heart of the city, I bear my cross,
In the labyrinth of shadows, I’m at a loss.
With every echo, with every toss,
I chase the shadows, at my own cost.
(Chorus)
I’m chasing shadows, in this concrete jungle,
Lost in the echoes, of a world that’s crumbled.
In this manic maze, I’m forever fumbled,
Chasing shadows, till I’m humbled.
(Outro)
In the end, it’s just me and my shadow,
In this urban battlefield, narrow and shallow.
Chasing shadows, chasing shadows, till the end,
In this game of life, the rules I’ll bend.
