Amanda Cook's song 'No More Shadows' is a reflective piece about leaving behind past mistakes and regrets. The lyrics speak of being haunted by memories and the desire to stop living in the shadow of who we used to be. The song encourages moving forward, embracing the new day, and letting go of what is gone. It conveys a message of personal transformation and hope, rooted in the belief that the old has passed away. The repeated refrain about no more shadows emphasizes a decisive break from the past and a commitment to live freely in the present.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Why are we living in the shadows of yesterday?
The ashes from last night's cigarettes have blown away
Still memories, they haunt us, of the people we used to be
Why, oh why, oh why do we live this way?
Tell me, if the old is really gone and done for now
Why are we living in the new day
As if the old one is a rerun?
Well, I'm done
With no more shadows to hide behind, hide behind
No more rearview mirrors in my mind, in my mind
What's gone is gone and what's done is done
And I'm moving on
With no more shadows
I wish it were as easy as the time it takes to sing a song
They say time heals all wounds, well, let's just move along
Then shall we move along, move along
With no more shadows to hide behind, hide behind
No more rearview mirrors in my mind, in my mind
What's gone is gone and what's done is done
And I'm moving on
With no more shadows
With no more shadows to hide behind
No more rearview mirrors in my mind
What's gone is gone and what's done is done
And I'm moving on
With no more shadows, no more shadows
No more shadows to hide behind
Oh, no more shadows, no more shadows
No more shadows to hide behind
