shining
Kaycee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep in summer
Falling helplessly
Hiding under
Ice and snow

I feel numb
Wait for the sun
Wait to become
But you're not here

Wet your lips make me come alive
Little light shining
Little drops of love
Make me come alive

Senses burning
So impatient
Begin to falter
Wait for you

Terrific
Fantastic
Lunatic
But you're not here

Wet your lips make me come alive
Little light shining




Little drops of love
Make me come alive

Overall Meaning

In the song "Shining" by Kaycee, the artist reflects on her feelings of loneliness and desperation for love. The song opens with the imagery of summer, which is typically associated with warmth and happiness but instead deepens the sense of isolation that Kaycee is feeling. She then shifts to the contrasting experience of being under ice and snow, which is cold, dark and overwhelming - much like the void of love she is experiencing. Kaycee expresses feeling numb and waiting for something, perhaps the sun or a partner, to come and bring her to life. But unfortunately, the person she seeks is absent, leaving her feeling unfulfilled.


The chorus gives a ray of hope in finding love. Kaycee acknowledges that the feeling of being loved by someone brings her back to life, giving her a little light that shines and brings her alive. She metaphorically refers to the feeling of love as little drops of love, bringing a sense of replenishment and fulfillment. She immerses herself in the moment when someone she craves, wets their lips, which brings her to life.


The song is an expression of the longing for love that we can all relate to at one point or another in our lives. With her lyrics, Kaycee touches upon deep emotions of isolation, desperation, and hope in finding the right person, who can bring us love and make us come alive.
