Only Shadows
Gertjan Wijnalda, november 1999

about this song
after all, we're only shadows in a world we call reality. i kinda liked the visuality of this, seeing the contours of two people in an intimate position as shadows on the wall - which was the last image of those people together and proved to be as fluid as their relationship ...

Only Shadows
(G.L. Wijnalda)

They say that you can never say
Whenever you're ready
They also say that you can never change
Whatever you're feeling

And even though I'd want to
Make things turn the other way
I believe that is not possible
Are they really right ?

All I see is shadows on the wall
Two people together
For the first and the last time
Only shadows on a wall
They're gone when we have disappeared
We're only shadows, aren't we all?
Shadows on a wall

They say that you can never tell
Whenever you're wrong or right
They also say that you can never do
Whatever you're dreaming

Is there anybody out there who fits me like you do?
Is there anybody out there who is the same as you?!

Repeat Chorus

What they say … isn't always right
Shadows on a wall
