- It's the smell of hot summertime trash
It's the city noise of a busy street
It's a train derailed and two car head-on freeway crash each time we meet
"And if it comes as some sort of surprise," she said
"That I seem so composed
I've kept this moment closer to my eyes," she said
"Than the glasses resting on the edge of my nose"
Shadow am I!
A question of a person, no said reply
Wolf am I!
And shadow cast on the sheep as I pass by
Shadow am I, or like a
Wearing-black-socks-and-white-woolen-locks
Wolf am I, and shadow
She was graceful and green as a stem
But I walk heavy on delicate ground
(Oh, there I go, showing off again
Self-impressed by how well I can put myself down!
And there I go again, to the next further removed level
Of that same exact feigned humility!)
(And this for me goes on and on to the point of nausea)
Shadow am I!
Like a suspicion that's never confirmed
But it's never denied
Wolf am I!
(No, "shadow" I think is better
As I'm not something
More like the absence of something)
So shadow am I!
The whole material world seems to me
Like a newspaper headline
It explicitly demands your attention
And it may even contain some truth
But what's really going on here?
One day the water's going to wash it away
One day the water's going to wash it away
One day the water's going to wash it away
And on that day
One day the water's going to wash it away
One day the water's going to wash it away
One day the water's going to wash it away
Nothing clever to say
One day
Nothing else to say
the little high note on "but it's never denied" makes this song just that much better
Glad someone pointed that out!
Couldn't agree more. Just pointed this part out to my wife. Makes it all the more 'real' and empassioned - not that it was lacking in either respect.
Don’t forget to see them this year on their final tour
@@amasterofbation how was it?
@@dirtytoilet excellent as always
One of my favorite "shower" songs, especially before or after a rough day.
One day the shampoo's gonna wash it away

I can't usually get into religious music (it's usually very blatant, like it was written by cheerleaders or something) but I love these guys. The music is great and the words give you room to twist your head around what they are saying from multiple angles. The best art leaves itself open to interpretation, in my opinion. Great band.
I've been listening to this song since the day it was released and it STILL has so much impact.
This is the best band that no one has ever heard of. I just saw them at the Worcester Palladium last Friday and they killed it. Such a good live band. I wish more people knew of them. Probably one of the best and most thought provoking lyrics I've ever encountered.
NeutralGloomBot Amen :)
Just discovered this band. I really love this album.
this fucking song man...holy shit....the energy and lyrics...damn man
I've been listening to this song for years and thought it sounded pretty cool. Reading the lyrics for the first time made me cry :)
Entropicdharma, there really is! Saw them play in Lawrence, KS and they were so good! Aaron Weiss invited everybody to come hang out with him and the rest of the band before the show started.
Probably my favorite song lyrically by these guys since A->B
Man, I haven't listened to this album in forever.
ZaramothZ did you ever listen to it again? Or has it now been a much longer time?
Checking up if listened to again
What an absolute banger
Do you guys ever have a song that you can't really explain how or why but it speaks to you and for you? This is it for me. I feel it, & I know why, but I can't put words to it.
these guys are really great, man. if you like the albums, try to catch them live when they're around. the energy is incredible!
Just posted a live drum cam of this song. :)
My favorite mewithoutyou song.
i luv this song
Just got tix for farewell tour 😭🤙
amazing
Amazing.... O__O
I’m not somethin, more like the absence of somethin
reminds me of Herman Hesse's Steppenwolf.
them are some damn cool lyrics
All I want to do. Is listen to this song with the noise BLARING. Unfortunately my speakers have a maximum volume that isn't loud enough
XD it's cool you just probably didn't know what i was referring to, it's all good ;)
"No, shadow I think is better
As I'm not something
More like the absence of something
So shadow am I!"
Is the best part...
Then consider it an instrumental with poetry on top :P
@FallenBlackWolf don't be too narrow minded, i like death metal and i like this stuff and a lot more, but it's a shame to just stick with one genre when there is so much more great music out there ;)
oops wrong band...thought it was wolf am I!
No i was referring to the 2 dislikes XD
2 haters...nothing clever to say, nothing else to say
