Parkway Drive - Shadow Boxing Lyrics
Do you see me
Do you see what I've become
I'm not the same beast
I leave a scar on all I touch
You think you know me now
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you've misjudged
All my life I've been told the same old
Don't step out, don't test the mould
We know your kind, yeah we know you
So much better than you know yourself
See, the ones that won't engage me
Are the same trying to cage me
But I can't sit still and I won't be tame
Better know your enemy
Because I've spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death
And we'll dance with the devil 'til there's no songs left
So do you see me
Do you see what I've become
I'm not the same beast, no
I leave a scar on all I touch
You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you've misjudged
You don't know me, you cannot own me
The path I'm on don't fit the old me
I bear my soul as I keep evolving
And I chase this taste for blood
See, I learned real young, don't seek no gold
Trust no fool and you won't get sold
I never feared the dark
No, I just became it
When the lights go dead
You better pray you're safe kid
Because I've spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death
And we'll dance with the devil 'til there's no songs left
I try
To keep my cool and not let this hate win
I find
This mask I wear can't keep the darkness in
The world you know was born to fade
We'll dance upon its grave
You don't know me, you cannot hold me
You should have guessed that you can't control me
I raise my soul like a private army and I steel myself for war
Because I leaned real young, when you walk through hell
The devil can't buy what you won't sell
So I took my fear, reshaped and aimed
Because when the night caves in
No one will save you
So we'll dance with the devil 'til there's no songs left
I try
To keep my cool and not let this hate win
I find
This mask I wear can't keep the darkness in

Parkway Drive Shadow Boxing Comments
Жесть!!!
In my opinion this is the best song in the album 🤘
I assume the next album won't progress to classical music but I did appreciate the violin on this album.
Winston letting his emotions out about being called a sell out.
I thought this video belonged to the metal band "parkway drive" and clicked but clearly i was mistaken
Shadow Boxing: Hey dude I forgot to do my homework can I copy from yours?
Wishing Wells: Of course man just make sure you change some stuff so no one can tell
Shadow Boxing: I got you bro
This song resonates with me after losing so many people.
Awsome😈😈😈😈😈😈
That violin speaks to my soul........epic fucking cut. BA▬BA▬BANNGGEERRRR!!!
This song still gets me amped as shit every time I hear it \m/
The lyrics “when the lights go dead you better pray your safe kid“ Until this video I though he said “you better pray your safe cunt” 😂
Sad thing is all these sad songs bands sing is actually my life...no pretend neither
Sounds flawless ,my new favorite song,it has it all,acoustic vocals intro and face melting outta nowhere. It rocks. Station Q rock 100.7 fm loves ya and plays all their tracks
Questionthatneedsanswered. Why do we park on a driveway, but drive on a parkway? 🤔🤔
Metal music is like new country.new country isnt country its pop and rock.metal music doesnt exist anymore.this music is not metal.80s 90s is the real heavy metal
xd
Its called metalcore and its not like your oldie dad "metal".
Metal for life
Best video of all time😂
The new material is bloody amazing
1:52 when I see my debit orders go off each month
If they would have put more into the music and lyrics instead of the bullshit video mainstream, then it might have been good.
This music smells like shitt
i'm pretty your just smelling yourself...
0:07 "do you see me"?
me: barely
i rarely laugh to a youtube comment
but this time
Im new here and i like this. Remaind me on symphonic death metal.
Some people are afraid of change, some.... .. people are afraid of looking inside themselves and seeing the darkness within. These people will never understand the new direction Parkway Drive have taken and thats too bad........!!!!!!! Music is more than just agrression and anger and ......,.if your into that thats cool but understand that some of us have grown up with this band, matured with this band, lived the same things as these band, cried holding a poster of them in our arms after another girl broke our hearts!!!!!!!! This song made me cry all over again thinking about life and mental health and all the things wrong with this fucked up world. This generation has it harder than any other but with art like this we help stop our brothers and sisters in metal taking their lives. Thanks for standing up for the little man, Wilston. WIlliam Bleby, metalhead . Ps new BMTH yeets most of the compet OOTW
Legends 😈🤘🇦🇺
Pandora played this for me. Definitely a banger. Awesome song
Your not asking alexandria good try though
I thing this is one of the most strongest songs i've ever hear from a metalcore band
Andrii Okhotnikov a lot of wage war songs have strong messages in there songs as well you should check them out
Holy fuck 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Anyone know what the lyrics are referring to?
Just my interpretation of the whole album on top of what the band have said themselves. It's about dealing with death and I kind of see it as the stages of grief, so this is about the anger stage? Just my thoughts on it haha!
One of their best songs imo! So good!
Tattooed "Dance with the Devil till there's no songs left." a few days back. Man this speaks to me on so many levels....
3.28 my main man Winston has the most vicious low.....
Shit...this track hits hard...on point...seriously thanks this album has brought me through some hard times this year...🙌🤘🏻
How do you interpret
"Cause I learned real young when you walk through hell
The Devil can't buy what you won't sell"
I want to think he's saying you should sell your soul as weird as that sounds but he might be saying that he refuses to sell it. Its confusing when he also says "we'll dance with the devil till theres no songs left"
please make a video of Chronos and you're gigs are the LEGIT BEST!!! BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!
I can relate to this song quite a bit
My fav pwd EVER .
Yo! Check out my metalscreaming.
Good or bad?
https://youtu.be/r0FQNvdp6gg
The video is cool.
This song though, has it all...🖤
Wait what? WInston can sing? wtf
Am fully motivated with #shadowboxing.
I play this song at least 10 times a day
hands down the worst song they've ever released
I went so long being annoyed with how PWD had changed their sound, and honestly this song rules. It blows my mind I didn’t like it on first listen.
So fucking good!
I love it. This record is my introduction to Parkway Drive.
I love that big ass drop after the mellow beginning😍
Parkway not metalcore again?
If this song doesn't move you, you are dead.
This is my life
1:47 "You better pray you're safe Karen!"
This was fucking amazing live!!
This song and those lyrics send shivers down my spine. Amazing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slipknot with violins? YAWN! 😴
Can you be more creative with future videos? This seems pretty lazy, awesome songs like this should have awesome vids.
I started to love this band
I love parkway drive
Great song , as a Veteran I really appreciate this song . PWD are the best Metal band Australia has ever produced. Thanks Guys .
parkway drive is better than kill switch engage
this would have been the ending song for creed 2 movie
1:04 G note intensifies
P W D are the best😈😈😈😈😈😈
Best song on the album.
I love PWD but this song is very repetitive same beat very “radio” metal sound
People who hate this like the awful screeching screams from their horizons album. I think his vocals have improved but the music could be better like the early albums, though I do like the input of violins, gives it a more real/medieval sound
There are very few bands I can stand when they change their style, but parkway drive is the biggest exception for me. Killing with a smile will always be my favourite album from them, but I love their transition, it's still parkway drive, they've evolved their music as they've gotten on, and you can see it in their craft, their execution and their shows. I don't listen to them as much anymore but they will always be my no. 1 band. PARKWAY DRIVE!!!
Fuckin gods
3:01 when you see a spider
Only now, reading the comments, I am learning about the meaning of this song and album, and now I feel like telling a story. This was their 1st song I heard. I wasn't a fan before obviously, because I didn't know about them. I heard it not even knowing the name of the band and I thought it was a perfect song. Simple, and perfect. Now I feel that way about most of their songs. I'm a fan ever since, and understanding the emotional meaning of this work and the path that led to it only makes me adore them more. So thanks guys, and Parkway Drive you keep it up motherfuckers, you're awesome. All the best from now on.
Awesome song. Instrumental animal and fucking lyrics!
What a tune ! Love this ! 🤘🤘
the violin part, starting at 2:24, makes the difference between a good song and a masterpiece
I love that part
The fact of the matter is that some fans just don't like the new direction. It's okay for them to experiment and change their style, but theres no law saying we have to like it. August Burns Red changes their style and sound literally every album and have not received the backlash this band has. I dont know how you can listen to the likes of Deep Blue or Killing With a Smile and then play a track like this and hear the same band. Plenty of bands change their sound all the time, sometimes people like it, sometimes people dont, but its really ignorant to hate on people who dont like the new sound and challenge their appreciation of the band, there is no logic behind that at all. Also whats with calling it "mature" what about changing your sound is "mature"? Iron maiden made the same shit forever and nobody calls them immature
These guys are still bad af.
Love t hat they keep to their roots and style with each album while at the same time tweaking and tuning it.
PWD Love right hurr
This song represents my everyday battles with depression and anxiety, and fighting these demons that try to hold me down
Peter Kendrick go to the gym, drink water and smoke some weed. Fuck the demons
where the hell did Parkway Drive go? this is shit! Sounds like they sold out!
Parkway drive i love you guys, but this is crap.
The first time I heard this song was when they played it at the Tabernacle in Atlanta for the Killswitch Engage collapse the world tour.

Krai Parkway Drive está na minha mente e não saí por nada...essa banda é foda demais...meu sonho é ir em um show
😈😈😈😈😈😈
Sounds 1000000 times better live
Saw them for the first time it was amazing had such a good time
Kind of remind me of Lordi vocals
this is a great song. Its way better than new hellyeah, slipknot, volbeat, and trivium
KineticUncertainty The Sin and the Sentence will forever be one of the best albums of all time.
🤘🤘🤘🤘 moshhpittttt
d.o.p.e.
The pianos tho
https://youtu.be/-m3WxevkFsc
its like they took these words straight out of my fucking soul
just wanna smash shit & destroy my enemies
badass 💪
22 sec mark sound a bit cockney to moi.
Give us Shadow Boxing paired with a live Orchestra performance!
For the "rapping" parts, he should've worn a du rag with a sideways flat-rimmed hat over it. And oversized clothes. And he should've thrown a lot of hand gestures.
:D
Well Eminem bulked up now plays good music
Admit it you will never unsee
And does deeper and more throaty vocals. Call him Phlegminem
I see everyone complaining bout the video. Just listen to the music. Who cares what the video looks like.
