Alec Benjamin – Shadow Of Mine
The song will repeat
[Verse 1]
Booked a trip to Texas, thought I’d start again
Switched all my addresses and ghosted all my friends
Thought I could escape what I could not transcend
Found myself back in the same old place again
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn’t matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I’ve come to realize after all this time
I can’t escape my shadow, I can’t escape my shadow
[Verse 2]
Maybe on the nexus, the common threat that binds
The problems in my hеad and the world that lives outside
I thought I could еscape but it’s fate, I’ve come to find
My devil is the devil that’s inside
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn’t matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I’ve come to realize after all this time
I can’t escape my shadow, I can’t escape my shadow
[Post-Chorus]
It won’t ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won’t ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine)
We grapple, we battle, but we
Are shackled for eternity
We grapple, we battle
We’re shackled, we’re shackled, we’re shackled
[Chorus]
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn’t matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I’ve come to realize after all this time
I can’t escape my shadow, I can’t escape my shadow
[Post-Chorus]
It won’t ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won’t ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine(of mine)
Another amazing song, can’t wait for the album!
His voice and talent never fail to amaze me. I mean, I geniunely think nobody would ever dislike him for a valid reason.
Haven’t heard an Alec Benjamin song that I didn’t like. He’s definitely one of my faves ❤️
Alec has a way of describing what everyone feels at least once in their lives.
This guy deserves more recognition.
One of Alec’s greatest talents is the way he manages to transform his hopes, fears, and musings of his surroundings into something that feels grander than its separate components yet wholly relatable. Btw, this song is epic🎉🎉🎉
Another track to listen to when I’m at my worst headspace. Thank you Alec, you mean the world to me. Everytime my demons are calling me, I just put my earphones on and shuffle play all your songs. Your songs literally saved me, I thank you for that.
The way the light would move (especially in the room with the piano) was a very nice touch. It felt (for me) that it was like a symbol to time passing, insinuating that as time passes you still can’t escape. You’re left with just your shadow because (as said in the song) he moved away and ghosted people so he didn’t have anyone to talk to but even so there was something lingering inside that reminds him of everything. Everything you do follows you like a shadow and it will be there forever whether in the dark or brought to light.
И снова, Алек затрагивает душу и призывает не бояться себя, своей темной стороны и всегда стремиться к лучшему
Every work of his is a masterpiece and talks to me on a deeper level 😭🤧
It’s been 4 days and I’ve already listened to it already more than 100 times
I absolutely love this. You can tell he’s been doing some form of self work. Something many people refuse to do in these times. I love it.
Amazing vocals Alec, big fan! A BTS to this music video would be amazing, such visually mesmerizing and stimulanting shots!
When I Listen to your songs, I feel as if the melody is in harmony with the words, and in addition to your angelic voice, this prompts me to repeat the song many times.
Alec, WTF. I have this on loop and dont have plans on stopping. Why did you make it so good? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
It just came out and I’ve already listened to it so many times 😩 He’s so talented <3 Keep up the good work Alec! <33
Somehow, this song feels like a continuation of Outrunning Karma. Like a shadow, your issues will chase you until the end of time. It’s up to you to turn around and face them. Alec’s tracks are always worth the wait.
I have been listening Alec’s songs since 2019, and each time he releases a song it’s incredibly relatable to me and that’s why I love him so much, he never disappoints 🙂
I relate to his lyrics, feels like I’m reading some kind of fiction, but in reality, a true life. It’s sad to think about how I feel about myself but can’t do anything. But then there’s this kind of MUSICs that give hope. I live for these.. nothing more.
How can this guy always make songs which sound so best……
