What does "hang over" mean in the lyrics below?
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why’d she have to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Hello Saeed. How are you?
"There's a Shadow Haning Over Me" is a reference which refers to a bad mood. Bad Moods are symbolically represented by Dark Shadows or Grey or Black Clouds.
Thus, the Beatles song refers to a Dark Shadow or Cloud standing above the person's head, meaning that he feels very sad.

These are the lyrics to a Beatles song from 1965. It describes a man whose lover has left him and the depression it has brought to his life. When he says, "There's a shadow hanging over me", he is describing the feeling that his life is in darkness since his lover left him.
