That debate was a fun one. =D

Well, since Adam's around, From Shadows could, in theory, be about both of them. Or the entire Faunus race. Out of all the other songs, From Shadows is the least connected to Blake. This seems to contrast Weiss', whose song focuses entirely on herself.

Selflessness and selflishness parallel?

Also, here's the full version of From Shadows, which brings more analysis food for the analysis mind. (wtf did I just say)

Born with no life Into subjugation Treated like a worthless animal Stripped of all rights Just a lesser being Crushed by cruel ruthless human rule

When it started All we wanted was a chance to live our lives Now in darkness Taking everything we want and we will rise We'll rise We'll rise

From shadows We'll descend upon the world Take back what you stole From shadows We'll reclaim our destiny Set our future free And we'll rise And we'll rise

Above the darkness and the shame Above the torture and the pain Above the ridicule and hate Above the binding of our fate

Call us liars Degenerates and killers Psychos, heartless, insane criminals Stupid, mutts and Nothing but pure evil Primal, bloodshed, is all that's left to do

We're misguided Treated like we're criminals and we should hide Born indicted Tired of being pushed around and we will fly We'll fly We'll fly

From shadows We'll descend upon the world

From shadows We'll reclaim our destiny
