Discover the story of the song > Shadow – Alexandra Burke

The protagonist sings about how everything around her has changed. The birds and trees don't sing anymore and the autumn leaves have fallen to the ground. She compares her former love to mister love, saying that it's fading away. She doesn't want to break down, but it feels like her love is going up in flames. She realizes that she is running down the wrong path and swimming in shallow love. She wants a deep love like the sea. Despite this, she can't let go of her partner's shadow. She clings to everything she once loved, but knows that love doesn't live here anymore. She urges herself to let go and set herself free from this unfulfilling love.
