The Shadow 나를 따라오는
똑같은 내 모습
숨어보고 싶어도 피할 수가 없는
모두가 생각하는 단면 얼굴 위에
살며시 얹어놓은 Mask 그 뒤에 있는

그 눈물을 보았니
Have you 그 슬픔을 보았니
See how I do
그 아픔을 난 딛고서 일어났어
끝이라 느낀 순간에

The Shadow 날 따라오는
날 바라보는 네 시선 눈빛 그
모든 것이 날 얼게 만들어
The Shadow 날 감싸주는
날 지켜주는 네 모습 존재 그
모든 것이 날 살게 만들어

조명이 나를 비추면 너와
함께 춤을 춰
내 모든 표현은 너에게 다가가지
어둠에 닫히면 넌
내 몸에 들어와 하나의 빛으로
천천히 물들어가지

그 눈빛을 보았니 (보았니)
Have you 그 순간을 느꼈니
See how I do
그 기쁨을 끌어안고 당당하게
다시 시작해 너와 나 (너와 나)

The Shadow 날 따라오는
날 바라보는 네 시선 눈빛 그
모든 것이 날 비추고 있어
The Shadow 날 감싸주는
날 지켜주는 네 모습 존재 그
모든 것이 날 지키고 있어

시간에 따라 변하는
내 모습에 너도 변해
자연스런 변화에
시행착오 겪곤 하지
(시행착오 겪곤 하지)
조금씩 깨달아가고
인정하는 시간 속에
영원히 잊지 못할
간직하고 싶은 The Shadow

날 바라보고 있겠지 날 지켜주겠지
어디에도 너와 함께라면
이젠 너를 밝힐게

내가 거울을 통해
말하듯 너는
(거울을 통해 말하듯 너는)
날 생각하게 만들어 용기를 줘
(생각하게 만들어)
네가 준 빛과 몸짓
(빛과 몸짓 소리들)
그 소리들이 우릴 다시 일으켜 줘
(다시 일으켜줘)

(I wanna show you what I mean)
The Shadow 날 따라오는
날 바라보는 네 시선 눈빛 그
모든 것이 날 웃게 만들어
The Shadow 이젠 내 몸
안에서 널 지켜 줄게
내 속에 자리한 또 하나의 The Shadow
(또 하나의 The Shadow)

導かれるように光射す方へ
ただひたすらに踊るmy body
何処までもついてくるthe shadow
振り切る事は出来ないの

Ah you　君の涙を
Ah you　君の悲しみを
すべてを引き受けるわ今
痛みさえも耐えて立ち上がる

The shadow　光を凌駕して呑みこんで
時に眼差しで凍りつかせる
The shadow　その瞬間剥ぎ取られたmask
隠れていたのはshine or shadow?

引き裂かれるような孤独の中で
存在すべてを確信できた
私が守る私でさえも
守ってくれる君がいた

Ah you　君の声を
Ah you　君の眼差しを
すべてを抱きしめて生きるわ
もう一度　歩き始めるわ

The shadow　光と共存して手をとって
互いを支え続けていられる
The shadow　最上級の私を創造して
照らし続けていてshine and shadow

変わり続けてくことに
皆慌てふためいてる
代わり続けてくことを
皆恐れて叫んでいる
変わり続けてくことは
そう悪いことなんかじゃない
代わり続けてくことは
そう誰もが認めてくこと

願い事が1つ叶うなら
君を照らし続ける強さ
この胸に

Ah you　消えることなどない
Ah you　君の描いた
すべてはここにあるわ
何一つ　変わらずに　ここに

The shadow　光と影とは表裏一体
一つになれる時がきたの
The shadow　すべてを映して受け入れて
私の中で輝く　The shadow　(shining the shadow)

The Shadow – the same image as me
That follows me
I want to hide but I can’t avoid it
On top of face that everyone thinks they know
The mask is softly upon it, behind it
Have you seen the tears, have you
Have you seen the sadness,
See how I do
I stepped on that pain and stood up again
At the moment I felt it was the end

The Shadow – following me, looking at me
Your line of vision, your eyes,
Everything makes me freeze
The Shadow – embracing me, protecting me
Your image, your existence,
Everything makes me live

When the lights shine on me,
I dance with you
All of my expressions approach you
When I’m trapped in darkness,
You come inside of my body
We slowly spread into each other as one light

Have you seen those eyes (seen), have you
Have you felt that moment,
See how I do
Embrace that joy confidently
And start again, you and I (you and I)

The Shadow – following me, looking at me
Your line of vision, your eyes,
Everything shines on me
The Shadow – embracing me, protecting me
Your image, your existence,
Everything protects me

At my changes over the years,
You change too
The natural changes
Brings trial and error
(brings trial and error)
While I realize and acknowledge
Things little by little
I don’t want to forget
The Shadow and want to cherish it forever

You will look at me, you will protect you
Wherever I am, if I’m with you,
Now I will reveal you

As if speaking
Through mirrors
(speaking through mirrors)
You make me think of you, give me courage
(make me think)
The light and body movements you gave me
(light, body movements, sounds)
Those sounds make us stand up again
(stand up again)

(I wanna show you what I mean)
The Shadow – following me, looking at me
Your line of vision, your eyes,
Everything makes me smile
The Shadow – now inside of me, I will protect you
Another shadow that
Aas taken place in me
(Another shadow)
