NOTHING BUT SHADOWS

from Light Horizon by Adam McLean

/

about

This is the trial run in a collaboration that is over 25 years in the making... two artists on opposite sides of the country hurling their imaginations via technology at each other...

This is just the first... HAND OF GOD will be next...

lyrics

NOTHING BUT SHADOWS

(BE HERE NOW… be here now…)
Alone now I wait as shadows through a curtain
Taunt me with a glimpse of what we had
This abbreviated rendering fails to compare to the emotive lust for life we shared
We were afraid to take that fateful leap, to take what life could give
So we waited for a perfect chance to live
And so we waited and time was no stranger

I never really felt the way they described this cold sensation
I never could relate to their claims of emphatic boredom
Feeding on alluring scraps of enigmatic fantasy
Crushing through our lifelong dreams we forged a new theology

(BE HERE NOW… be here now…)
For we are alive
But for a short time

An antagonistic nightmare paling through the years
Merely enduring - my deepest fear
There are no second chances; no way can we reclaim
Decades wasted hoping for a better aim
Nothing but shadows of memories and it is done
