Just Like You Lived in the 80s

I can't see my shadow

Cause that's what I saw

When I looked at someone

In you

But now I see clearly

Your motives and fears

Excuses for dreams that failed

Was all you ever wanted to fail?

And only for the sake of it

Just like you lived in the 80s

You think you know that all your answers are right

But under the surface

All you want is attention

Without my long replies

Just like you lived in the 80s

You bought yourself a jacket to imitate that life

That people are living

In the city you grieve in

To become someone

And not a shadow of mine

A shadow of mine

Seasons may alter

But some things will stay

You keep on fulfilling

Your dad's visions and fears

You said that I’m the shadow

Upon your dreams that failed

Little Napoleon

Was all you ever wanted to fail?

And only for the sake of it

Just like you lived in the 80s

You think you know that all your answers are right

But under the surface

All you want is attention

Without my long replies

Just like you lived in the 80s

You bought yourself a jacket to imitate that life

That people are living

In the city you grieve in

To become someone

And not a shadow of mine

A shadow of mine

A shadow of mine
