Charlotte O'Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And eyes sparks alive
And as we sink into each others eyes we're lost but joined inside
It's another way to say I do
I stop the world to stare at you
So shine on
I was torn but now I'm better
So I can find you
To bring our heartbeats close together
Like a drum that rolls forever
I was lost and found but never
Like a thorn inside a feather
I was broke but now I'm better
One touch and you made me shiver
It's just another way to say I do
I stop the world to stare at you
So shine on
I was torn but now I'm better
And I'll cross the sky forever
So I can find you
To bring our heartbeats close together
Like a drum that rolls forever
From a look that was bigger than blues
And now it's formed on my lips and will never be heard
Shine on
Shine on
It's just another way to say I do
I stop the world to stare at you
And shine on
I was torn but now I'm better
And I'll cross the sky forever
So I can find you
And I will find you
To bring our heartbeats close together
Like a drum that rolls forever
"Shine On" by Charlotte O'Connor is a song about finding true love after many struggles and hardships. The first verse sets the tone of the song by describing a cold and lonely environment, but through the eyes of two people who share a spark, they are able to find warmth and connection. The chorus is a declaration of love, where the singer tells their partner that they stop the world to admire them and that they'll always search for them. The second verse continues this idea of finding each other, but also shows the transformation of the singer from feeling lost and broken to being better because of their partner.
The bridge of the song is a beautiful moment where the singer reveals that they had a feeling of love before they were able to articulate it. They describe it as a look that was "bigger than blues" and that it has now formed on their lips, ready to be expressed. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that love can conquer all and that it's worth fighting for.
Overall, "Shine On" is a beautiful and heartfelt song that captures the feeling of true love and the power it holds in our lives.
