Containing references to American fast-food staple Chick-Fil-A, the NFL and arguably the greatest wide receiver of all time, Jerry Rice, Aminé pounds away at the fact that he just keeps on ‘fucking up.’
SHINE
Aminé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a catch but I'm not a receiver
I'm nervous what this might turn into
Know my skin glows whenever I see ya
That's why I'm shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
That's why I'm shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
I fuck up like everyday
I fuck up in every way
I fuck up like when I pull up on Sunday at Chick-Fil-A
My-my dark twisted fantasy, beautiful insanity
When the rain pours, I'm the one you call your canopy
Face be moisturized, sun keep beamin' on your thighs
In Hawaii lookin' fly, my obsession multiplies, yeah
Butter on my fingers, I'm nothin' like Jerry Rice
When you glow, that's how I glow
So my feelings they pay the price
I don't wanna feel like I need ya
You're a catch but I'm not a receiver
I'm nervous what this might turn into
Know my skin glows whenever I see ya
That's why I'm shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
That's why I'm shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
Is this shit forever?
Where's the evidence?
Should I even bother?
I guess that's confidence
We sippin' sake soakin' sun so sofa's never comfy
So sorry summer's over but you still my lil' mami
I wake up, then get up
Graveyard shift 'til five
You stay up, then we fuck
You always down to ride
When she do the tip drill and throw it like a pinwheel
My problems only minor, nonexistent like a kids' will
I don't wanna feel like I need ya
You're a catch but I'm not a receiver
I'm nervous what this might turn into
Know my skin glows whenever I see ya
That's why I'm shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
Shinin'
That's why I'm shinin'
Shinin'

Shinin'
Aminé's song SHINE talks about the complexities of a relationship. He acknowledges that his love interest is a great catch, but he doesn't want to feel like he needs her. He doesn't want to depend on her for his own happiness because it puts too much pressure on the relationship. The fear of becoming too attached and losing her scares him. However, he can't deny the effect she has on him. Whenever he sees her, his skin glows, and he feels like he is shining.
He admits to being flawed and making mistakes daily. He messes up in every way, like when he pulls up to Chick-fil-A on a Sunday, which is closed. He also acknowledges the beauty in his madness, comparing himself to Kanye's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." He is the one she calls when it's raining, comparing himself to a canopy that protects her from the rain.
The chorus repeats "That's why I'm shining," implying that his love interest is the reason for his happiness and the shining of his skin. The last verse talks about the uncertainty of the relationship, questioning if it's forever and looking for evidence. But despite these doubts, he's confident that they're good together. They spend their summer drinking sake and enjoying the sun, but when it's over, she remains his "lil' mami." The song ends with an acknowledgment of their sexual chemistry and how she brings out the best in him.
