Beautiful Shadows is a melancholic song that delves into the paradox of a girl who radiates stunning beauty on the outside but harbors darkness within. Inspired by the lyrical style of Drake, the track navigates the emotional dissonance and concealed pain that comes with recognizing inner monsters hidden behind an angelic facade.
Verse 1
Caught a glimpse, she's a vision, yeah, perfect lie
On the surface, can't resist, she's like the summer sky
Golden smile, lights up rooms, heart played on repeat
But the closer you get, it's a game of misleading deceit
Pre-Chorus
I tried to see the light in her eyes
But shadows hide where truth lies
Chorus
Beautiful shadows, haunt me at night
A perfect mask, hiding all the fights
She’s a picture, framed in gold
But the story's getting old
Living in her beautiful shadows
Beautiful shadows
Verse 2
Whispers heard from those lips, sweeter than a kiss
But her touch is cold, feels like winter's abyss
Promises made, they shatter like fragile glass
Behind closed doors, her demons come to pass
Pre-Chorus
I tried to see the light in her eyes
But shadows hide where truth lies
Chorus
Beautiful shadows, haunt me at night
A perfect mask, hiding all the fights
She’s a picture, framed in gold
But the story's getting old
Living in her beautiful shadows
Beautiful shadows
Bridge
I'm caught up in the tears she won't cry
Drowning in the depths where angels die
Every word spoken, a twisted lullaby
Inside, she's a storm, in disguise
Chorus
Beautiful shadows, haunt me at night
A perfect mask, hiding all the fights
She’s a picture, framed in gold
But the story's getting old
Living in her beautiful shadows
Beautiful shadows
Outro
In her beautiful shadows, I lose my way
Chasing after dreams that push me away
Beautiful shadows, can't escape the game
A broken heart is all that remains
Beautiful shadows

A beautiful girl that is beautiful on the outside but horrible on the inside.
