    One of Alec's greatest talents is the way he manages to transform his hopes, fears, and musings of his surroundings into something that feels grander than its separate components yet wholly relatable. Btw, this song is epic🎉🎉🎉

    Somehow, this song feels like a continuation of Outrunning Karma. Like a shadow, your issues will chase you until the end of time. It's up to you to turn around and face them. Alec's tracks are always worth the wait.

    Hi everyone! I have a little message for y'all. For the people here doing homework, leave the chat, take a sip of water, focus and vibe. For the people here staying up late, leave the chat, grab a blanket and sleep. You deserve it. For the people here with anxiety, breathe. Drink water. Listen to the music and calm down. Take a deep breath. Everything will be fine. For the people here with depression, I love you. Try to see the positive in everything, there's always something good coming out of a bad situation. Breathe. Drink water. Rest. Once you've hit rock bottom, you can only go up from there. :3 For the suicidal, I love you too. You matter. Remember that. No matter what anyone says, I love you. You are gorgeous, funny, and just overall amazing. Don't end your life. We need you here. Remember that to get to the rainbow, you need to go through the storm. For the heartbroken, it's okay. I'm here for you. I know it hurts, but it'll get better. Trust me. And one day, you'll find the one, and it wont hurt anymore. For everyone else suffering from anything, drink water, eat food, sleep, just enjoy life. The world wouldn't be what it is without you all. For everyone reading, thank you. Thank you for being you. You all make the world as amazing as it is, and I love you. All of you. If y'all ever need to talk, i'm here. Have an amazing day/night/afternoon/evening.

    Lyrics [Verse 1] Booked a trip to Texas, thought I'd start again Switched all my addresses and ghosted all my friends Thought I could escape what I could not transcend Found myself back in the same old place again [Chorus] Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me Something that I've come to realize after all this time I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow [Verse 2] Maybe i'm the nexus, the common thread that binds The problems in my hеad and the world that lives outside I thought I could еscape but it's fate, I've come to find My devil is the devil that's inside [Chorus] Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me Something that I've come to realize after all this time I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow [Post-Chorus] It won't ever let me go It goes everywhere I go It won't ever let me go This shadow, this shadow of mine (Of mine) We grapple, we battle, but we Are shackled for eternity We grapple, we battle We're shackled, we're shackled, we're shackled [Chorus] Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me Something that I've come to realize after all this time I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow [Post-Chorus] It won't ever let me go It goes everywhere I go It won't ever let me go This shadow, this shadow of mine(of mine)

    @@pahoellyyy All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts. Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.” (Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain). Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS). That`s why there`s a calling to REPENTANCE and to BORN AGAIN: Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

    Every time I listen to this, or sing along I sing the first chorus as "it finds me", second as "defines me", and third as "refines me". I found out that those aren't the actual lyrics lol, but I still sing them that way, bc I relate to them. I think a large part of personal development is excepting your demons. At first, you're terrified that they will find you, then you think that bad things that happened to you, or that you did, define you. Then, finally, you let those experiences refine you for the future.

    When I first heard this song and read the lyrics, I could not believe how relatable this was in my life. I grew up in California all my life, and we decided to move to Hawaii two years ago. I let go of my friends, ghosted some of them because we left pretty sudden. I thought I'd have a better time where I live now, but it was the same all over again. Long story short, I realized no matter where I go, if it's a new country, school, etc, I can't change who I am or fake a new personality. Now I really miss my old home. "You can run from anyone but yourself."

    Our shadows exist whenever there's light. It follows us wherever we go and it can be daunting, creepy and even haunting to think about. The moment we turn away from the light we come face to face with our shadow. However, if we face the light our shadows will be behind us, even walking along side us but as long as we're marching forward with our head held high facing the light the shadow can never ever be ahead of us, it can never overtake us. Seek out the light in any situation and follow it with your chin up and face it.

    The way the light would move (especially in the room with the piano) was a very nice touch. It felt (for me) that it was like a symbol to time passing, insinuating that as time passes you still can't escape. You're left with just your shadow because (as said in the song) he moved away and ghosted people so he didn't have anyone to talk to but even so there was something lingering inside that reminds him of everything. Everything you do follows you like a shadow and it will be there forever whether in the dark or brought to light. Very well done.
