about
Shadow Self is dedicated to the dark, unconscious side of our personality. Inspired by Carl Jung’s concept of the hidden self, it reflects the parts of us we bury and deny—but still quietly feed when no one’s watching. It’s about losing yourself, becoming someone you don’t recognize anymore. So if you’ve ever danced with your demons, too—this one’s for you
lyrics
Make me loose my decency
Let loose all the worst that lingers within me.
I just don’t know myself
I just don’t know myself
There’s a shade that’s around me
Darker than it never ever used to be
I just don’t know myself
I just don’t know myself anymore
I feel like I am on fire
Burning in dark desire
And when the flames are gone
It’s not you , its not mine, that shadow is me
And this time I‘m waiting
Watching my conscious fading
And when it all is gone
It’s not you, its not me its my shadow self
Make me loose my Modesty
There is all the evil lurking in the deep
And it’s creeping up on me
You’re creeping up on me
I love it when you’re hating me
You hate the Monster I became eventually
Oh you just don’t know me well
You just don’t know myself anymore
