Iamamiwhoami - Shadowshow Lyrics






I am fire, I am damaged in the making
I am an army set out to control your every ticking
I am a giant stepping on the tiny world you're living in, we solve

And you shake and you shiver as the roof is coming down
And the walls grow thinner

Shadows show, darkens the river
Turns hearts into stone
We run, we run
Terrified, what have you done?
This is how it goes
It's how it goes

Mass confusion, never been so damn excited
What your hearts felt for us was evidently unrequited

And I shake and I shiver as I cut through skin and bones
Can you solve the riddle?

Shadows show, darkens the river
Turns hearts into stone
We run, we run
Terrified, what have you done?
Is this how it goes?
It's how it goes

Iamamiwhoami Shadowshow Comments
  1. s.... s....

    if there's an actual plagiarism, it's not Hayley's fault. it's the fault of the producers of her videos, they took care of the art and the content of her concept. in any case, they discovered this artist and took inspiration from her material without telling Hayley (and that's why she had no idea of ​​her existence). besides, some of you shouldn't only talk about HW if you haven’t seen Aurora Aksnes’s videos, they are also similar to those of this artist in question and yet i don’t see iamamiwhoami fans saying videos like The River or Runaway look like her own, so what is the logic?

    s.... s....

    I love Hayley. And that is possible. BUT I think most pop and rock stars are familair with Iamamiwhoiam. I've known about them for years. I for one am very, very shocked and bummed by what has occured. Hayley's management should have never allowed this to happen. It is as bad as the Josh and Jeremy dust ups. Hayley is way to talented to have EVER been engaged in what happened.

    s.... s....

    Don't throw other musicians under a bus to save Hayley and her team. Aurora's videos are nothing like ionnalee's. There is a big difference between having the same elements in videos and having the same elements with the same esthetics using similar shots! As much as I love Hayley and her music, they should be responsible for it. For fuck sakes, when you watch the comparison videos you can't tell them apart!
    If this wasn't a direct copying, how would you explain Warren Fu's behavior? Isn't it fishy to delete all the comments that are mentioning ionnalee? If they didn't copy her, why is he desperate at trying to get away with it?
    Also, those other people from Hayley's team who actually knew about ionnalee. Why didn't they say 'Oh wait, this is too similar?' or 'ionnalee already did the same thing, using the same colors, using the same shots?' or maybe they did say it but the rest of the team choose to ignore it? I really doubt that Hayley wanted to steal, but whoever did this is claiming someone else's ideas as their own.
    Just because you choose to ignore it (and defend it), it doesn't mean it's not there. You can support Hayley without supporting thieves from her team.

    s.... s....

    - I adore Hayley. If you go search on Paramore songs, you will see my comments going way back. Even on "Stay the night" (which was one of my favs.) I would 100% think that was possible, that she didn't know, if she didn't title her lead solo song "SIMMER." After Ionna Lee also titled her song "SIMMER DOWN." Combined with the long list and the fact that the Director and Visual Effects Supervisor BOTH followed Ionna. Could they all be pyschic? Is there some mysterious connection between them? Do we live in a mysterious Universe, yes. Absolutely. I hope this is the case. After Laughter (Paramore's last album as you know) was unique. As were it's music videos. Hayley is an incredible, genuinely gifted writer / singer and performer, but what needs to be taken into consideration with ALL of this, is what Josh Farro and Jeremy Davis (cofounders of Paramore and amazing talents in their own right) claimed after leaving Paramore, that Hayley was unfair and in effect, ripped them off. So that information also plays into ALL of this controversy.

  2. C.... P....

    tutte cazzate

  3. N.... M....

    Might've actually given your music a shot, if you hadn't tried to backpedal off someone who's been adored by fans for 2 decades to make yourself relevant and get yourself put in the spotlight by claiming plagurism...

    N.... M....

    I love Hayley and Paramore, but this was as much a bad management blunder as the Josh situation and legal problem with the bass player etc. Really bad decision. And this artist has every right to call out Hayley. Way, way too similar.

    N.... M....

    Yes, because apparently this chick invented people being chased in the woods, and wearing intricate makeup (one was vegetables, the other a butterfly, I don't see how that's similar) and butterflies naturally emerge from a cocoon... vegetables do not emerge from a person wrapped in bandages.. lol...
    And I guess Camilla Cabello plagiarized her stuff too because she used people camouflaged in body suits when she performed "Living Proof"...
    Hayley doesn't NEED to plagiarize.
    She's been her own creative force for years. Just because things are similar doesnt mean they sat there thinking of ways to steal other people's art. Similarities happen. People DO think the same things at the same time without any inspiration. It happens all the time, just like Hayley said in her video addressing all of this.

    N.... M....

    @Nece M - It very clear. You're just in denial. Even the close-ups and hand gestures etc. Paramore never really had amazing videos. Entertaining, but not amazing. They needed ideas so they took them from this artist. Very sad.

    N.... M....

    @Nece M i think the same, plus the aurora aksnes videos are similar also in certain aspects and I don't see anyone saying that she plagiarized her, sooo

    N.... M....

    @saint shimy Please provide specifics. Which video's are you suggesting by Aurora (who I also adore.)

  4. V.... F....

    Why do people keep comparing this to Simmer? Like they sound nothing Similiar. Even the visuals aren’t the same.... they might be similarly but they’re not exactly the same. Idk

    V.... F....

    Come on. It's so clear. I love and admire Hayley. But this was a major mistake and very sad. She's way too talented to have been engaged in this.

  5. T.... T....

    Her music has a transcending effect, and a hypnotic feel to it. I love it! And I just discovered her here on YouTube from the suggested videos. Great recommendation!

  6. W.... 3....

    The lyrics reminds me of Katniss and Hunger Games saga.

  7. T.... O....

    She's epic...nonstop

  8. T.... O....

    This woman is a goddess in every sense of the word.

  9. L.... N....

    ...que fait elle des hommes?...

  10. C.... P....

    She's pure perfection in every sense of the word.

  11. O.... A....

    Why have I heard this song only in 2020?
    I like it very very very much

    O.... A....

    She produces music that is far too beautiful, too original and too intelligent to be widely known ...

  12. J.... A....

    this is prophetic. this is a warning.

  13. C.... K....

    goosebumps !

  14. S.... V....

    I heard her comment something in reference to Elves.

  15. d.... j....

    the best song that has ever been recorded

  16. Y.... S....

    I've always had the impression that this song is about death.

  17. t.... s....

  24. K.... L....

    I love you so much, your audio visual films truly touch me every time I watch. I know each lyric is personal and close to your heart , but they help me process my own emotions and experiences as well and that means a lot. Thank you for the beautiful journeys you take us on. You remain one of my favorite artists always <3

  25. N.... B....

  27. �.... �....

    Скандинавская мелодия завораживает!

  28. S.... C....

    Their stuff is so good! I lucked out and got Kin at a bargain store. Didn't know who they were but took a chance. Glad I did!

  29. N.... A....

    Que saudades da minha ex...
    Ex iamamiwhoami

  30. B.... K....

    Captions would be nice. I looove this song and this music video tho

  31. L.... V....

    Saidera, amo

  32. �.... N....

    Eu amo demais essa músicaaaaa

  33. H.... T....

    🖤🧚🏻‍♀️

  34. S.... ....

    This is what Kate Bush would sound like if she came out in post 2018.

  35. D.... C....

    до дрожи... до мурашек по коже...хочется стать дымом, светом и танцевать вечность

  36. F.... A....

    At 3:47 : "And they shake and they shiver...
    as I cut through skin and boys"

  37. S.... B....

    I found you on Twitter and now I follow you

  38. S.... B....

    I love your music

  39. D.... T....

    I was just thinking about abba hearing this , i love abba , but yeah back to you my little ice queen of the north , you are the reflection , the very awe and splendor of nature itself , the element of water seems to be at your command. Captivating and unique , you bring us back to whats pure and real , without complication
    You show us the path to the place that was there before the world began.
    Thank you for all of your works.

  40. P.... N....

    "it's how it goes" oml

  41. W.... B....

    Discovered this music in Zara !

  42. A.... ....

    Как же атмосферно .Так просто ,но со вкусом 🌸

  43. L.... B....

    Cristal imaculado <3

  44. A.... P....

    Demasiado buena

  45. G.... ....

    Any other songs like this? This is just head and shoulders above everything else she's done. I've never heard anything quite like it before.

  46. A.... I....

    This is profoundly lame

  47. M.... C....

    Does anyone else think she is actually a witch? I see a lot of symbolism throughout her videos

  48. J.... K....

    Conheci agora e já gosto pankas

  49. A.... S....

    I used to think that the shadows were fans but they're just parts of herself that now doesn't have power to control the real "Jonna". BLUE is a search for her own identity that ends with the creation of ionnalee.

  50. J.... O....

    me muero con esto!

  51. S.... 1....

    One of the best videos I have ever seen, and I own a video production company. Simple but perfect!

  52. U.... R....

    This song has been on repeat lately. Very beautiful.

  53. E.... B....

    EU TE AMO IONNAAAAAA

  54. A.... D....

    perfect music

  55. M.... S....

    The Last song of iamamiwhoami......

  56. E.... T....

    One of my favorites. "I am a giant stepping on the tiny world you're living in...", has to be one of the greatest lines of any song ever written!

  57. B.... B....

    Wow. I realize I'm late to the party, but WOW. Is this whole album a metaphor for global warming/climate change? I feel like she represents the ocean/earth and she's trying desperately to send messages and warnings, that are completely confusing to/ignored by the dark figures (us humans, I presume), but of course, in the end we'll only make the Earth uninhabitable for ourselves--She (the oceans/Gaia/the Earth) will continue just fine without us once we've drowned ourselves... Regardless of what the intended message is, it's fantastic art and I love it!

  58. c.... ....

    where has this been all my life

  59. j.... ....

    ESSA MUSICA É UMA PEDRADA!

  60. I.... n....

    when She is playing on this violin she would be dragonfly wings :)

  61. M.... M....

    Crazy beautiful

  62. D.... ....

    Something else entirely. I would call Jonna Lee an experience everyone should probably have in their life at one point or another. And that concert in Moscow with Royksopp. JESUS!!!

  63. j.... ....

    STUNNING! SIMPLY AMAZING!

  64. A.... T....

    10:0510mar8

  65. V.... D....

    you are divine! thank you for your music :)

  66. �.... A....

    Ya böyle nakaratlar yazmayın arkadaş üzüyonuz amk

  67. �.... �....

    это просто AXYEННО!!!

  68. c.... ....

    At last......a TRUE ARSTIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. D.... M....

    Is the work of the band linked to the new solo album of Ionna Lee? I guess she's telling a fantasy story in a desorganized time way, like a jigsaw, which could be interpreted like an allegory.

  70. P.... 8....

    🖤🖤🖤☄️

  71. A.... S....

    In the end, I didn't fully appreciate BLUE but now I see what an amazing journey it was. All the places Jonna took us and all the visions she showed us, it was a gift.

    ​SHADOWSHOW LYRICS

    [Verse 1]
    I am fire, I am damage in the making
    I am an army set out to control your every ticking
    I am a giant stepping on the tiny world you live in

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    And you shake and you shiver
    As the roof is coming down
    And the walls grow thinner

    [Chorus 1]
    Shadowshow darkens the river
    Turn hearts into stone
    We run, we run terrified, what have we done?
    Is this how it goes?
    Silence grows loudly bigger
    Its heartrending crow
    You run, you run terrified, what have you done?
    Is this how it goes? (Let the shadows swallow all)
    It's how it goes

    [Verse 2]
    Mass confusion, never been so excited
    What your hearts felt for us was evidently unrequited

    [Bridge]
    And by the sea, we’re laying down our hopes
    You will conquer all
    Your rise, our fall
    And by the sea, I’m laying down my hopes
    We will conquer all
    Our rise, your fall

    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    And I shake and I shiver
    As I cut through skin and bones
    Can you solve the riddle?

    [Chorus 2]
    Shadowshow darkens the river
    Turn hearts into stone
    We run, we run terrified, what have we done?
    Is this how it goes?
    Silence grows loudly bigger
    Its heartrending crow (Let the shadows swallow all)
    You run, you run terrified, what have you done?
    Is this how it goes? (Let the dark upon us fall)
    It's how it goes

    [Post-Chorus]
    Let the shadows swallow all
    Let the dark upon us fall

    [Outro]
    I am fire, I am damage in the making
    I am an army set out to control your every ticking

    R.... H....

    Thank you soo much !

  74. A.... S....

    Been following since prelude days, I can't put into words how much this project means to me.. although "the riddle" has been solved, I hope it is far from over 💙

  75. F.... ....

    At first, I thought this song is not in english (I’m not a native speaker tho)

  76. d.... m....

    Hermosa canción de jonna

  77. l.... ....

    Peki duygu ozaslan dan gelmem kaç puan

  78. b.... ....

    duygu özaslannnnnnnnnnnnnn

  79. I.... O....

    Hello from turkey, this song made me cry.

    I.... O....

    Ilayda Ozturk hello turkey .. yes really amazing song :))

  80. L.... E....

    Duygudan gelenler?

  81. P.... 1....

    and I'm obsessed with them years after.

  82. R.... ....

    Morgan le Fay

  83. G.... ....

    What a masterpiece! 😍 She's so amazing! ❤ Kisses from Buenos Aires!.

  84. T.... A....

    This video reminds me a lot of BOUNTY

  85. b.... i....

    I think this is the best song I have ever heard my entire life

  86. R.... J....

    my favourite one

  87. S.... F....

    There's that song,
    river - oh be clever
    what else is there - ryoksop
    and familiar - agnes obel
    I assume you have good taste if you are listening to this song here so do you know any other similar songs? like songs to listen late at night? like 2am late?

  88. A.... ....

    This song reminds me "What else is there" of Röyksopp. Funny as in this year Jonna Lee concetrs with this band.

  89. C.... C....

    I really wonder if iamamiwhoami was created just intuitively or if they literally knew all the archetypes and stories they wanted to represent. If they did know and brought it to life intentionally they are freaking geniuses.

  90. G.... ....

    👍🏻 💙

  91. M.... ....

    ¡Roll-on!

  92. M.... S....

    I💜U!!!

  93. B.... B....

    so great - so abba - jonna literally becomes a discoball - brilliant!

  94. D.... O....

    Perfect!! please, more songs like this for the future...

  95. E.... A....

    It's about creative process. At some points, you are terrified at the power you wield over people's lives ("I am a giant stepping on a tiny world you live in") -- at others, you are terrified of times when you are not producing the art expected of you ("silence grows loudly bigger"). You want the darkness to swallow all; to end it without a trace; to be free of this burden -- but you are drunk on the power to create and to move others.
