FreddeGredde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the one who's fallen in love
no sighs and blushing skin
those songs I'm so tired of
they say love's the only reason to live
but I won't submit, for what could it give
shining brightly
gleaming radiance
wonder in sight
seeing all my friends
they all fall down one by one
and then I see how it ends
watch them all come undone
why can't we escape the trap in our hearts?
why build up which must all apart?
shining brightly
like the starlight
gleaming radiance
future in sight
don't want to search so long and far
why should I care where you are?
don't wanna end up like they do
why should I then settle for you?
I had always found I
would only ask why
and could never comply
but now I can't deny
I have never been
the one who's fallen in love
but then she ran into me
a jest sent from way above
maybe love is a good reason to live?
could it be I have so much I can give?
shining brightly
like the starlight
came from darkness
living in light
shining brightly
like the starlight
finally seeing
answers in sight
The lyrics to FreddeGredde's song "Shining" express a sense of reluctance and skepticism towards love, as the singer declares that they have "never been the one who's fallen in love". They are tired of hearing the clichéd aspects of love, such as "sighs and blushing skin", and do not see any value in submitting to it. The singer observes their friends as they fall in love and subsequently come undone, questioning why humans have a "trap in our hearts" that leads us to build up love just to watch it fall apart.
Despite their reservations, the singer also acknowledges a newfound feeling of love that has entered their life through someone who "ran into [them]". It is suggested that this person brings a light into their life and grants them a sense of purpose that they had not felt before. The singer concludes with the repeated phrase "shining brightly like the starlight", emphasizing the radiance and wonder that love can bring into one's life after all.
This song expresses a more cynical and realistic take on love, acknowledging its potential to bring pain as well as joy. The singer's initial skepticism towards love may reflect the fear and vulnerability that many people experience when opening themselves up to someone else. However, the ending of the song shows that love can also bring light and happiness into one's life, suggesting that it can be worth the risk.

The biggest takeaway from this masterpiece?
The fact this man got actual Pokémon to play instruments.
Jammin' out Rexan
It truly is incredible. Can't believe more people aren't commenting on that
Blaziki
Fr like it must have been a nightmare trying to get them to play and they did it so well, hell he got guzma to sing, didn’t know guzma had such a nice voice
East
Man, I can’t believe he got Dugtrio, a mouthless Pokémon, to play trumpets. Truly an accomplishment no other man could do.
