Shadowplay Lyrics

To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner, I found truth

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies mad a move to connect
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you

What is the Meaning of Shadowplay?

Sooo many songs written about being somewhere (in between skyscrapers, in between car crashes, in between the sands of time) and being waiting (for a kiss, for a nod, for a hug, for a catch of a smell) for you. And where are you after all those songs?!?
