Everyone just always accepts the fact that shadows are there, casted when light is draped over an object. Darkness, that's what they truly are. Infinite darkness. They are the demons we are born with; they follow us from birth to death. My shadow is always there, even when there is not a ray of light shining upon me. If it’s

To do so, I will use shadows in the background to interact with the character in order to allow the audience to better comprehend my actions and movements throughout the song.
