Gary Numan - Walking With Shadows Lyrics






All my life
They've been here.
Waiting for you.
Patiently.

All they want is your heart and soul
They want your tears to fall
All they want is your purest sin
They want to welcome you in

They will seem
Innocent,
But they will lead you
Back to me.

All they need is one tortured soul
They need walking shadows
All they need is your last confession
They need your pain to show me

I'm waiting for the unforgiven
Waiting for sleep to come
I waiting for my one obsession
Waiting for you to come home

'Innocence is pain in disguse'
They said.
Now I believe.

  1. A.... d....

    Sinister .

  2. E.... G....

    Been on board numans creativity since tubeway army. Even through those disco laments his fretless bass utilization drove me to play one myself.When I got this on cd. AllI I said was. "SHIT MY STEREO AINT LOUD ENOUGH.! $ends dark angels for you.

  3. N.... ....

    The most honest lullaby

  4. E.... T....

    Top old Times with Gary yeah

  5. D.... L....

    Picked up a LP of him in Uppsala, while studying at the university. Best buy I've ever made of A LP ! :)

    D.... L....

    Was the "Cars" LP though (or one of them)

  6. P.... ....

    This is not the super cool newman vibe of the 80's. This is NIN Manson trendy morbid wallowing, i hate this slow crap. Original newman sound was it's own creation. Trade marked by the long one note sustain ya know?

    P.... ....

    It's 'Numan', not 'Newman'. And it's 'Awesome' not 'Slow crap'!

    P.... ....

    Numan is right, awesome is up to everyone, although, I like this version as well :)

    P.... ....

    So if your the expert do what he did not.And you will be famous.What if you have never known G.Numann's music?And in this day and age it becomes an revelation to you.

  7. H.... S....

    Anybody got the demo of this that has that GREAT keyboard line that didn't make the official version?! Hhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

    H.... S....

    Satan never liked "the keyboard" my man. Try again.  lol

    H.... S....

    +Immortalized1 LMAO

  8. T.... G....

    I just added it to my playlist when it says not aveleble!

  9. r.... ....

    now i believe too.

  10. s.... j....

    Yep. Hands down, my favourite song off Pure.

  11. J.... B....

    @PureExile: Thanks for posting dude. It's a truly excellent piece of work.

  12. J.... B....

    Relax yourself. Mindful listening takes patience.

  13. P.... ....

    I love this song... soo much...

  14. H.... A....

    Is, is, and always will be a 2011 favourite of mine. Thanks for the magnificent upload, Exile.

  15. S.... E....

    true enough...

  16. L.... B....

    Listen to all his songs, you get it. He's dark..but happily married!argh.

  17. B.... ....

    12 years ago.........

  18. J.... S....

    really really good

  19. P.... ....

    @JarrodCook93 He has indeed, Jarrod. See one of my other uploads, Purified - Gary Numan - Part 1 of 8, for Numan's own explanation.

  20. J.... C....

    has he ever explained what inspired this song or what its about?

  21. P.... ....

    @stuart38 You need at least a little foreplay, dude...

  22. S.... E....

    this track was a little too long at the start.nearly 45 seconds before it got started.

  23. J.... C....

    I would almost describe this song as being beautiful.

  24. G.... ....

    Third time listening to this, and counting...

    P.S.--Are all of Gary Numan's (plus the Tubeway Army) available on CD??

  25. T.... ....

    @smattafu the game or the song by gary numan

  26. M.... ....

    Pure was a classic album. He really got himself together after the 90's the 90's was not a good time for music for him. But in comes a new decade and its like 79/80 all over again. I just hope he does not let this decade be like the 90's. He's working with Trent from NIN so should be good.

  27. N.... ....

    Altered states of mind is something people have been experimenting with for their entire existence. Genetics/evolution is accomplishing so much more through a series of leaps like autism and aspergers. -Then again, this is all just my POV. Feel free to throw yourself into a rages and kill your keyboard in the name of getting back at my insolent post, for anyone who disagrees that strongly :) ((HAD TO SEPARATE POST INTO 2))

  28. N.... ....

    @solestars I was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome about 6 years ago.. My dreams tend to be a hell of a lot more vivid than others', perhaps, but other than that I don't see any issues with the syndrome-if anything, I pity the people who don't have it. I'm sorry, I just had to comment on this-I seriousely don't understand what would make it such a difficult thing to live with. As long as you get past the autism blocks that affect aspergers-It's a gift, not a curse. Embrace it.

  29. R.... S....

    enjoyed this song the lyrics r haunting

  30. R.... S....

    "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr thts one track tht I didnt get w/ the cd vers tht I have. Ty for posting it here love it."

    R.... S....

    A CD version without it?

  31. a.... ....

    Alright. Ill come straight out and say it. Is he a vampire??????

  32. F.... ....

    On the Purified CD (the Pure Tour programme), he explains this song is about a girl in a coma. She meets these entities while her consciousness is elsewhere and they're trying to drag her and everyone she knows into their world for unknown reasons. At least that's how Gary explained this song...

  33. C.... K....

    Very brave of you to say you have Aspergers. You are not alone. Both of my nephews have it and after taking my teenager out with them, he commented "You tak just like them!". I was an "odd" child, and still kind of an odd adult and I've wondered...You are not weird, and you're right, it is difficult. People will have to have more education as the diagnosis go up and I hope that helps. You are who YOU are and that all right with me!

    C.... K....

    Cheri Kay
    Why would you think Gary Numan's music is weird?

  34. P.... R....

    All of PURE is excellent

  35. W.... ....

    i made a vid... showing the spirit of this music
    who likes silent hill, will understand... what I'm talking =D

  36. a.... ....

    good lyrics an good music i really love it

  37. w.... ....

    What a good choice of song.

  38. a.... ....

    One of Gary Numan's very best... of many.
