Song information
'The Shadow Within' is my personal diary set to music a raw reflection on the depression I wrestle with every single day. Writing it down helps me cope, even if it never truly lifts the weight. With a melancholic mood and a monotonous tone intentionally threaded throughout, this isn't a song that aims to win you over or offer comfort. Instead, it's my quiet confession, an honest glimpse into the shadows I carry within. In sharing it, I hope others realise they're not alone - that even when the darkness feels endless, speaking the truth can be a small but meaningful triumph.

Lyrics
THE SHADOW WITHIN
by Gerald G ©Copyright 2025

Verse 1

Beneath the calm I wear each day,

There's a shadow haunting me.

Silent whispers calling out,

Voices no one else can see.

Chorus

I walk between the shades of grey,

My darkness hidden from the day.

Trying hard to hide what's real,

The shadows within, they never heal.

Verse 2

Mirrors reflect a stranger's face,

Secrets dancing in my eyes.

Behind each smile a bitter taste,

Where truth and twisted lies collide.

Chorus


Instrumental

Outro

I face myself, a constant fight,

Struggle deep within my mind.

Chasing ghosts into the night,

Afraid of what I'll find.

As someone who has struggles with anxiety and depression as well, I definitely get this tune. Truer lyrics have never been sung. As you said, just the act of getting those feelings out there - in song, in writing, or just saying them outloud - can give you, if not relief, then perspective. 
A powerful tune. And so well done, as usual.
Thanks for sharing.
