About This Track

'Shadow' by TEN is a 2024 track from the album 'TEN'. The lyrics circle around absence, with the speaker fixated on an “empty shadow” that continues to feel present, echoing through unanswered questions and uneasy sleep. There is a sense of bruising persistence, as though a past presence still exerts control even when it is not there, turning grief into a series of repeating visions. The song moves between direct address and haunted recollection, framing the shadow as both image and influence.

"Shadow" is a track by TEN, from the album TEN, released 13th February 2024. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about TEN.

Lyrics

Shadow

[Intro]

Living in your empty shadow

Your voices echo

Why, why do I still see your shadow?

[Verse 1]

She's just the silhouette I see

I don't know if it's real

Tell me

I've been having vicious dream

That won't last long

When you're not even here

How you still got power over me?

The more I try, the harder it's to leave

I know your shadow creepin' over me

[Pre-Chorus]

One step ahead of time, yeah

You always have the key

You keep me up all night

Bringing all these memories

Nothing's really changed

It's always the same

Look what you've done to me

[Chorus]

(Shadow)

Living in your empty shadow

Your voices echo (Shadow)

Why, why do I still see your shadow?

See your shadow? (Shadow)

Running away from your shadow (Shadow)

You'll always follow (Shadow)

In, in the night when I feel hollow (Shadow)

See your shadow (Shadow)

[Verse 2]

If I go paint the world in black

Will I still see your face? (Ooh)

Said I won't ever double back

But I'm circling the track

Can't bare to think

That you're with someone in the moonlight

Should've been two of us, just you and I, no

Want you to feel this pain (Feel this pain)

[Pre-Chorus]

One step ahead of time, yeah

You always have the key

You keep me up all night

Bringing all these memories

Nothing's really changed

It's always the same, yeah

I always keep on falling

[Chorus]

(Shadow)

Living in your empty shadow

Your voices echo (Shadow)

Why, why do I still see your shadow?

See your shadow? (Shadow)

Running away from your shadow (Shadow)

You'll always follow (Shadow)

In, in the night when I feel hollow (Shadow)

[Bridge]

I'll be chasing after light

I don't wanna see you in the dark

But I'll keep turning back around

Baby, you are my only weakness

And it keeps pulling me down

[Chorus]

Living in your empty shadow

Your voices echo

Why, why do I still see your shadow? (Woah)

See your shadow? (Shadow)

Running away from your shadow (Shadow)

You'll always follow (Shadow)

In, in the night when I feel hollow (Shadow)

See your shadow

[Outro]

You're still on my mind (Shadow)

You're still on my mind

You're still on my mind (Shadow)

Living in your empty (Shadow)
