Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why won't you give me that star that shine down?
I'm so there
If you show me that I'm on your mind now
I know it's simple to say
When you're trippin
You can believe anything
But I got reasons to race like a Jesus
You turn around, you wanna leave
You can't afford, you can't believe
I'm trying baby if I'm gonna fade away
If you let it, if you let it shine down
But don't talk, no need to speak
Just turn it on, if what I'm feeling
I'm trying baby if I'm gonna fade away
If you let it, if you let it shine down
If you let it, if you let it shine down
Oh yeah
Why won't you give me that star that shine down?
I'm so there
If you show me that I'm on your mind now
I know it's simple to say
When you're trippin
You can believe anything
But I got reasons to race like a Jesus
Walking on in the rain
You turn around, you wanna leave
You can't afford, you can't believe
I'm trying baby if I'm gonna fade away
If you let it, if you let it shine down
If you let it, if you let it shine down
But don't talk, no need to speak
Just turn it on, if what I'm feeling
I'm trying baby if I'm gonna fade away
If you let it, if you let it shine down
If you let it, if you let it shine down
The chorus of "Shine Down" begs for someone to give the singer a star that shines down and to show that the singer is on their mind. The lyrics portray the singer as feeling alone and searching for a connection with someone. The singer expresses that when a person is in a vulnerable state, they can believe anything and offer reasons to race like Jesus. The second verse continues with the singer pleading for the other person not to leave and to turn on the light that shines down on them. The final chorus repeats the first, ending with the singer continuing to try and not fade away, but needing the other person to let their light shine down.
The song's underlying theme is of longing for human connection and acceptance, and the hope to not fade away unnoticed. The comparison of needing a shining star to someone's caring and thoughtful treatment creates a heartfelt and intense meaning. The words embody a sense of vulnerability and longing to be loved, a universal theme that many people can relate to.

Why won't you give me that star that shine down?
I'm so there
If you show me that I'm on your mind now

If you let it, if you let it shine down...
If you let it, if you let it shine down...
