'Fighting Shadows' is a heartfelt song exploring the complexities of relationships where misunderstandings lead to conflicts. Despite the intention of love and camaraderie, the underlying themes of confusion and miscommunication lay bare the struggle of two people who think they're on the same page but find themselves in a constant battle of wills. This poignant track showcases Cavetown's signature blend of introspective lyrics and soft melodies, making it relatable for anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation.
(Verse 1)
I thought we were on the same side,
But every word feels like a knife,
You say you care, but I can see the lies,
Caught up in a game, and it cuts so deep inside.
(Chorus)
We're fighting shadows, lost in the dark,
Holding on to flames, but missing the spark,
You think you know me, but it's just the mask,
When we try to connect, we forget to ask.
(Verse 2)
I feel the weight of every sigh,
When silence fills the space, I ask why,
We dance around the truth like it's a crime,
But every step we take, we lose more time.
(Chorus)
We're fighting shadows, lost in the dark,
Holding on to flames, but missing the spark,
You think you know me, but it's just the mask,
When we try to connect, we forget to ask.
(Bridge)
Can we stop pretending, can we just be real?
Peel back the layers, show how we feel,
It's not about winning; it's about the fight,
We can't keep dancing in the dead of night.
(Chorus)
We're fighting shadows, lost in the dark,
Holding on to flames, but missing the spark,
You think you know me, but it's just the mask,
When we try to connect, we forget to ask.
(Outro)
So let’s break the silence, tear down these walls,
If we just open up, maybe our hearts will call,
No more fighting shadows, just you and me,
Finding light together, that’s where we’ll be.

Fighting, not getting along even though we think we are
