Audioslave - Shadow On The Sun Lyrics






Once upon a time
I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before

I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now all that is gone
Over with and done
Never to return

And I can tell you why people die alone
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

And I can tell you why people go insane
I can show you how you could do the same
I can tell you why the end will never come
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within

Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin

And I can tell you why people go insane
I can show you how you could do the same
I can tell you why the end will never come
I can tell you I'm a shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Sun!
Sun!

    Uma vez
    Eu costumava a querer aliviar sua dor
    Te deixar onde você estava
    E você acreditava que eu podia
    Você já viu acontecer antes

    Eu poderia ler seus pensamentos
    Te dizer o que você via
    E nunca te falar uma palavra
    Agora tudo isso se foi
    Terminou e sumiu
    Nunca para retornar

    Eu posso te dizer por que
    As pessoas morrem sozinhas
    Eu posso te dizer que eu sou
    Uma sombra no sol

    Encarando a perda
    Procurando pela causa
    E nunca tendo certeza
    Nada além do vazio
    Viver sem uma alma
    E nada para ser aprendido

    Eu posso te dizer porquê
    As pessoas ficam loucas
    E posso te dizer como você poderia fazer o mesmo
    Eu posso te contar porquê
    O fim nunca vai chegar
    Eu posso te dizer que eu sou
    Uma sombra no sol

    Formatos de todos os tamanhos
    Se movem atrás dos meus olhos
    Portas na minha cabeça
    Parafusadas por dentro
    Cada pingo de fogo
    Acende uma vela lá
    Memória da única
    Que vive por baixo da minha pele.

  37. A.... A....

    The NUMBER 1 MOST UNDERRATED band of all-time. Audioslave, primarily in most part thanks to Chris, is one of the greatest bands of All-time, but for some odd fucked up reason, they are rarely mentioned outside of their hardcore fans. Audioslave rivals any band you can think of. And I am a huge fan of many. I don't care if you're a heavy metal elitiest, thrash elitest, punk elitest, or whatever. Audioslave is as good if not better than Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Metallica, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Pantera, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Credence Clearwater Revival, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Aerosmith, Eagles, The Beatles, R.E.M, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Pusifer, etc, etc, etc.



    I don't care what genre you can throw in there. Audioslave rivals them. The vocals, lyrics, the melodies, the guitars, the drums, the solos, however you want to critique it Audioslave is almost as perfect of a musical band as you can get.

    I listen to this song for the one 'who lived inside my skin'. I lost him to one of the rarest types of blood cancer on July 16, 2016 which was a month after our daughter turned a year old. He had known since the previous November but kept it all to himself. No matter what those 6 years I had with him I will forever be grateful for. I loved him yesterday, I love him today but never as much as all my tomorrow's.... until I see you again, Christopher.

    v.... ....

    my condolences

  39. K.... O....

    Danielle, I will forever Love You!

  40. C.... E....

    Memory of the one
    Who lived inside my skin...

  58. E.... C....
