Vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen said of the song:

“As a story, ‘Shadowlife‘ can be seen as a thematic gateway to the entire record – an elegy not only for a lost beloved, but also for the fading belief that anything beautiful can remain untouched by time. It is a realization that love, youth, summer, and warmth cannot be preserved forever. Thus, we are left suspended between longing and acceptance, lingering in the liminal spaces of sleep, shadow, and night.”

Guitarist/vocalist Niilo Sevänen added:

“‘Shadowlife‘ opens the dreamy next chapter of Insomnium with a certain self-aware catchiness. I set out to write an obvious hit—perhaps even a so-called banger—to kick things off, but don’t worry: the deeper cuts will follow. Album No. 10 is truly a defining milestone for us, so we wanted to honor our history while also introducing some new nuances. Living on the edge.”
