You count your steps across the floor As
2
if each move is numb You keep your eyes fixed on
3
the door You call this place your own I know the
4
way you hold your breath Before your voice can shake I hear the truth you never show In each word
5
that you say Step past where the pavement ends Leave your truth
6
and made you keep You don't have to pretend Just breathe with me
7
Beyond what we know and no one tells us who to be Beyond what we know,
8
be who you are with me Feel the ground,
9
give away, keep pace with me Here we go
10
I'm not sure what you're doing No walls around us now,
11
just open air Your hand goes still,
12
I feel the question there
13
Back there the rooms remain the same Too small for who
14
we've grown to be We've left the rules they made us
15
play We're more than they could see We stand where the
16
pavement ends We say the words we couldn't speak We don't have to pretend This time we leave Beyond what we know,
17
we choose the life we want to lead Beyond what we know,
18
what's next is ours to see One breath and we cross,
19
eyes open and we go
20
I'm not sure what you're doing Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "Alan Walker x AVA - Beyond What We Know (Official Music Video)" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.

Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
