I'm selling heavenly sketches
A wormhole out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity
To fill the holes inside
An ever moving stream
With glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to past lies
And I know, I should let go
Tamed with confidence of a brighter future [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/in_flames/my_sweet_shadow_correct_version.html ]
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out
Fuelled
These new shores burn
Dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow
To you I look no more
Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded?
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger
In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain echoes fade
This song speaks about how one person finds peace in regret, by looking into the beauty of one's self. The shadow is a form of representing one's self and a symbol that your not alone. A beautiful peace of finding one's self and that being yourself is not bad even if your mind could be filled with pain or hate it's just you.
