Duran Duran – Shadows On Your Side lyrics

Duran Duran – Shadows On Your Side lyrics

Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than
All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core-but

CHORUS
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend
To a tune of it's own
Hey you'll never hear that voice again
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that you're having the
Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but

CHORUS

Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar
Whichever way you can be sure-that

CHORUS

Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side

Shackled and raised for a shining crowd They want you to speak but the music is louder than All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core-but CHORUS The shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Promises made with a distant friend Truth should be known it can only bend To a tune of it's own Hey you'll never hear that voice again Scandal in white on a tangled vine With everybody to say that you're having the Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but CHORUS Spinning a compass to choose your way You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar Whichever way you can be sure-that CHORUS Shadows on your side The shadows are on your side Explain Request ×

I think it's about the rise to fame and losing your personal freedom. The demands of the record industry and expectations of the public. your life is exposed to the public (scandal in white on a tangled vine). I cook in an exposed kitchen. With the advent of the Food Network everybody thinks cooking is glamorous. The fact of the matter is that it is not for 99% of the industry. Sometimes you just want to find the darkest shadow you can find and hide in it!
