A shadow's not a shadow. Its a part of us we hide. A part that's filled with guilt. Or a part of us that's died. When the sin shines, the darker side comes out. A reminder that there's something there, no one knows about. Your secrets follow you. Even when your at your best. Reminding you of the bad, or the things you should regret. Your shadow's part of your sould, you see. The part that doesn't shine. The part you really hate, and you want no one to find.

What inspired me was the saying "you can't run from the past." Its like your shadow is the bad things you've done and it follows you everywhere. You can't run from it. And it mimicks your every move almost like its mocking you. It's just a theory though :)
