1
My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in Everyone looked worse in the light
2
There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven I'll tell you the truth but never goodbye
3
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
4
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
5
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night And now I see daylight I only see daylight
6
Life overdraw only draws the unlucky And so I became the butt of the joke
7
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked Clear in the air I breathed in the smoke
8
Maybe you ran with the wolves
9
and refused to settle down Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town Threw out our coats
10
and our daggers because it's morning now It's brighter now
11
Now I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
12
I could never look away I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
13
Things will never be the same I've been sleeping
14
so long in a 20 year dark night Now I'm wide awake And now I see daylight I only see daylight
15
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight I only see daylight,
16
daylight, daylight, daylight And I can still see it all All of you,
17
all of me
18
I must believe love would be But it's going And I can still see it all Back apart head
19
Back and forth under your skin I don't believe love would be her Death and it's gone Like daylight Like daylight
20
Like daylight Daylight
21
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
22
I can never look away And I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
23
Things will never be so I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night And now I see daylight
24
I only see daylight Only see daylight,
25
daylight, daylight, daylight Only see daylight,
26
daylight, daylight, daylight Only see daylight,
27
daylight, daylight, daylight Only see daylight,
28
daylight, daylight, daylight Like daylight It's golden
29
Like daylight You gotta step into the daylight And let it go Just let it go
30
Let it go I want to be defined by the things that I love,
31
not the things I hate, not the things I'm afraid of, not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night.
32
I just think that you are what you love.
33
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
