joe p is well versed in the toxicity of a love you cannot escape from. Shadow in the Sun doesn’t hide away from the harsh reality of a love that only hurts the one that feels it, and yet it’s poetically realistic in how one can be caught in its web without being able to escape. Comparing himself to a shadow in the sun, something which cannot escape its existence, joe p is aware of how vulnerable this love leaves someone, and yet he would experience it again. He adds to the metaphor with comparing the love he has shared with a fire– all consuming and leaving traces on the form of smoke in lungs and taste in the mouth, all uncomfortable yet remaining despite it all. Shadow in the Sun is a lyrical hit, with repeating lyrics that stick to your mind and that you won’t hesitate to scream out loud.
