Shine
Jeff Williams ft. Casey Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i think that tonight is when our stars align
honey it's now we leave the doubt behind
take my hand cuz you and I are gonna shine
i was cold in the dark
it was empty in my life
from the outside it looked so bright
like a sky with no sun
like a night that has no day
my heart was eclipsed by the dark
then something changed
i saw a little ray of light come through
the tiniest of sparks came into view
and then
you made me hope again
i've been watching you helping you
wishing that you'd see
that the girl you've been waiting so long for could be me
now-i've never been in love
but i think this is it
it might be just a school girl crush
but i have to admit
i wanna take a chance and make you see
i think that you're the one who'll rescue me
this time
you're finally gonna see you should be mine
but baby it's time to make up your mind
i think that tonight is when our stars align
honey it's time to leave the doubt behind
take my hand cuz you and I are gonna shine
i won't need any dreams
it's all there if you're by my side
every moment's enough
and you take me to paradise
when i needed a hero you knew it
and you were there
and I'm scared but I'll open my heart up
i'm ready to dare
i know i've never felt like this before
I never really knew what love was for
i dreamed
but never did believe
but baby it's time to make up your mind
i think that tonight is when our stars align
honey it's time to leave the doubt behind
take my hand cuz you and I are gonna
light the sky until it's dawn and
baby you and I are gonna shine
The lyrics of "Shine" by Jeff Williams ft. Casey Lee paint a picture of a person who has been going through life feeling incomplete and lost, until they meet someone who helps them find the light. The first verse talks about the darkness the person was in before meeting this special someone, describing it as "cold in the dark" and "empty in my life". They go on to reveal that despite the outward appearance of brightness in their life, nothing felt right to them. However, seeing a "little ray of light" and a "tiniest of sparks" changed everything, as they started to believe in hope again.
The chorus is a plea to this special person to take a chance on them, to leave doubts behind and join hands to shine together. It talks of stars aligning, and the two of them lighting up the sky until dawn. The second verse talks about the transformative power of love, with the lyrics "when I needed a hero you knew it, and you were there". The person expresses fear of opening up their heart, but is ready to take a chance and dare to believe.
In summary, "Shine" is a song about finding hope and light in what was once darkness, and a plea to take a chance on the transformative power of love.
