Shine like a star
A.A.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you feel
Do you burn inside
Is it true
Within you
Is your spirit alive
Tell me why do you fear
If you've got nothing to hide
[Chorus]
Shine like the stars
Wherever you are
Wherever you go
Be heavenly glow
Shine like the stars
I hear you say
You know the way
Still you live like you do
But compromise
Only satisfies
The dying part of you
Tell me why do you go
On hiding when you know
The world is waiting for you
[Chorus]
Don't fall down
Don't burn out
[Chorus]
Wherever you are
Wherever you go
Be heavenly glow
Shine like the stars
(Shine like the stars)
The stars
(Shine like the stars)
Don't burn out

This song will always have a bittersweet meaning for me.
From the day it was released I loved it.
A few months later my father passed away.
The day of his funeral I was driving my mother to the church, as we turned into the road the church was in, the song came on the radio, it ended as we pulled into the parking area.
I haven't heard it on the radio for years and years.
On christmas eve (2019) around 2pm my mother was taken by ambulance to the hospital emergency room, where she passed away at 5pm.
I returned at about 9pm to sign some documents and meet the undertakers.
As I turned into the road the hospital is on, "Shine" came on the radio - The sense of deja vu was overwhelming.
Tears came gushing out & I could barely see the road ahead - coming very very close to driving onto the sidewalk and into a traffic light.
The song ended as I pulled up outside the emergency room.
She didn't want a funeral or memorial service.
I chose Aquamation instead of cremation for her, and told the funeral home I would be attending on my own.
I copied a few of her favorite songs to my phone to listen to when the Aquamation began - I included "Shine" on the playlist.
I spent a few minutes with her saying my final goodbyes, then knocked on the door to let them know they could take her through and start.
I watched them take my mother into the room and close the door behind them.
I put the earphones in my ears and walked to the garden outside.
By chance, "Shine" was the 1st song to play, and her Aquamation had had began.
