Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see it in your eyes in your eyes
I could use the same old lines but I'll sing
Shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out
But it paved the cloud that we're dancing on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
'Cause they're all just slaves to the Gods they've made
But you and I, just shone, just shone
And when silence greets my last goodbye
The words I need are in your eyes
And I'll sing
Shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out
But it paved the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
'Cause they're all just slaves to the Gods they've made
But you and I just shone, just shone
So shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out
But it paved the cloud that we're dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
'Cause they're all just slaves to the Gods they've made
But you and I just shone, just shone
The lyrics of James Blunt's song Shine On convey a strong message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The opening line of "Are you calling for our last dance?" suggests a sense of finality and perhaps even mortality, but the subsequent lines express a determination to carry on despite this. The repetition of "Shine on, just shine on" throughout the song serves as a mantra for the singer and the listener alike, encouraging us to keep going and to let our light shine even in the darkest of times.
The second verse in particular emphasizes the contrast between the singer and those who have "been sold out" and become "slaves to the Gods they've made." While others may be caught up in their own illusions and delusions, the singer and their partner remain grounded and true to themselves. The final repetition of the chorus, with its call to "shine on" and its emphasis on the power of a bright smile, reinforces this message of resilience and perseverance.
Overall, Shine On is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the ability to find strength and hope even in challenging circumstances.
