Carter closed the track, saying: “Living in the shadow, can you imagine what kind of life it is to live? In the shadows people see you as happy and free because that’s what you want them to see. The world is changing and they say it’s time to be free, but you live with the fear of just being me...Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be, no harm for them, no harm for me. But life is short, and it’s time to be free. Love who you love, because life isn’t guaranteed.”
