Diamonds
Gilmour Lyrics

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
In your youth, you were bright and full of potential.

Shine on you crazy diamond.
Despite the passage of time, continue to radiate your unique brilliance.

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Your present expression is cold and empty like the vast voids of space.

You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, Blown on the steel breeze.
You were at the center of the struggle between your playful innocence and the harshness of fame as if caught in a storm.

Come on you target for faraway laughter, Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
Regardless of the criticism and pressure from others, embrace your individuality and shine as a unique figure.

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
You were ambitious, reaching for something beyond your grasp, and became disillusioned by your own desires.

Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
You feel vulnerable and afraid of opposition despite your public image of success.

Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision, Rode on the steel breeze.
Your success was fleeting and unpredictable despite your best efforts.

Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Keep pushing boundaries as an innovator and share your unique perspective with others.
