Lyrics for In The Shadows as interpreted by weerez_geek

In The Shadows Lyrics
No sleep
No sleep untill I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes
I feel I'm going down and so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

In the shadows
In the shadows

They say
That I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I
I'd rather kill myself then turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrow all my life

Lately I've been walking, walking in circels
Watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, feel me
come take me higher

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrow all my life

I've been watching
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been living for tomorrows

In the shadows
In the shadows
I've been waiting

the video pretty much explains the song lol but ill give you a hand. its about this guy/girl who has lead kind of a boring life so they decide to run off and have some fun but they're not really sure what fun is.
(i think lol)

easy listening song ...the remix is pretty decent .

this is finally taking your own advice , life inot your own hands . waiting in the shadows is pretty much you without your control over your own life ..

Actually... the US version of the music video has absolutely nothing to do with this song. The European version of the music video - which my friend saw in the UK and told me about - is full of raven feathers and other gothic stuff... coupled with the lyrics makes this song sound to me like it's about being underappreciated and waiting for things to get better.

I think that this song is about a guy that doesnt have much a social life, thus him "Waiting in the Shadows". He is looking for his break to leave the shadows, he feels alone, he feels like he needs a girlfriend or someone to talk too, and he has been waiting in his own shadows of darkness, and thats what is keeping him from socializing with other people. He probally stays home most of the time and feels lonely. He wants to step out of the shadow and start a new type of life because he is tired of staying in the shadows and watching and waiting, cause it aint going to happen.

Ok, the same rules apply here as with HIM, if you are female and you like this band, you have shit taste in music, if you are male and you like this band, you are a closet homosexual.

And before you start having a go at me, remeber, I didn't make the rules...

The Rasmus are a pile of crap, who seem to believe they are a rock band...

guiffporn...what the hell is wrong with you? I dont mind people voicing an opinion, but how can you say someone is homosexual jst from a song they like? And, how can someone who calls themselves guiffporn call anybody homosexual? that is just screaming gay at us all! so why dont you voice your stereotypical-wannabe veiws somewhere else?
Your wrong, and your trying to act cool by calling people over the internet gay becos of wot song they listen to....well guess what? nobody cares what you think, or if they do they are another worthless peice of crap tht acts tough by calling ppl they will never meet gay.

You're calling us gay for listening to The Rasmus? Your top band is listed as Jane's Addiction. Have you seen those guys?

guiffporn, you cant determine whether or not someone is homersexual because of the music they listen too, there are no rules, people can listen to what ever they want to listen to, i like this band because they remind me of the cure.. well atleast this song does, i havent listened to the others much.

Ok, first off, the gay thing was a joke, obviously the music you listen to has no bearing on your sexuality.
That said, the fact remains that the Rasmus are a huge pile of poppy shit.

WhiteMagic, no I am not jealous, I just hate bands like this, who make meaningless shit, because they know a bunch of dickheads will buy it.

MortalWombat, if you knew anything about Jane's Addiction, you would know that they are about pushing boundaries and pushing peoples 'taste buttons' and Perry Farrell has spent most of his life in bed with several women at the same time.
I'm not calling you gay for listening to the Rasmus, im calling you a twat with no musical taste, for listening to the Rasmus.

Hmm.. I haven't seen the US version of the song (I didn't even know The Rasmus were famous in the US :P), nor the UK version, but in the Nordic version there are basically only shots from the movie "Pahat Pojat" (="bad boys", this song was on the sountrack for that movie), and stuff, I remember correctly...

The songs starts off so sad. Like some one is lost and the need a cure for the pain of life.......and cancer relates to a uncurable thing. and song one lives in the dark side of life. and to me its like you need to kill before you escape the people, yet killing yourself would just make the pain go away.

I am not saying that you shouldn't like The Rasmus or HIM, all I am saying is that if you do, youhave no taste in music at all.

about a guy trapped within himself, trying to find a way out. He's sick of people telling him what to do and how he shoudl do it. Its a song about braking away and feeling liek sh!t lol.
