Diamonds
Brooke Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me and my girls we got nothing to lose

No fancy cars, no shiny shoes

No it ain't about where you are it's where you're going anyway

We may never be movie stars but tonight we're gonna be
Shining like diamonds
Dancing in the headlights
All the boys are watching us right now
Welcome to the weekend, everybody's drinking
Everybody's here to throw it down

Shining like diamonds
Dancing in the headlights
tonight tonight tonight tonight we shine

We can own the night, we don't need no cash
Cause we got sparkle, baby we've got class
But it ain't about what you've got, it's what you live for anyway
We ain't worried bout what we're not, cause tonight we're gonna be

Shining like diamonds
Dancing in the headlights
All the boys are watching us right now
Welcome to the weekend
Everybody's drinking
Everybody's here to throw it down

Shining like diamonds
Dancing in the headlights
Tonight tonight tonight tonight we shine

Like stars up in the sky, we shine
The world is ours tonight

Shining like diamonds
Dancing in the headlights
All the boys are watching us right now
Welcome to the weekend
Everybody's drinking
Everybody's here to throw it down
Man oh my lady's getting famous in this town
Shining like diamonds




Dancing in the headlights
Tonight tonight tonight tonight we shine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brooke Eden's song 'Diamonds' tell a story of a group of girls who may not have the fancy things in life but have one thing that stands out, their shine. The girls are out to have fun and make the most out of their weekend. It’s a celebration of the idea that it’s not about what you have, but about what you live for. They own the night with their class and sparkle. As they dance under the headlights, all eyes are on them- their beauty and energy are contagious. The lyrics convey a sense of freedom, joy, and solidarity.


The chorus of the song is particularly catchy, with the repetition of “Shining like diamonds, Dancing in the headlights”. The verses, on the other hand, emphasize the idea of having nothing to lose and owning the night. The bridge serves as a reminder that these girls are the stars of the night and the world is theirs tonight.


The song's overall empowering message and upbeat tempo make it an anthem for anyone who wants to embrace life and have fun. It encourages individuals to put their best foot forward and shine, regardless of their circumstances.
