McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strong enough to love someone
And make it through the hardest storm
And bad weather
Will you pull me from the flames
Hold me till I feel no pain
And give me shelter from the rain
Where can I find her
She took the light and left me in the dark, eh
She left me with a broken heart, eh
Now I'm on my own
If anybody sees her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh)
If anybody sees her
Tell me can you hear my voice
Loud and clear above the noise
Even if I had the choice
I would not give up
Where can I find her
She took the light and left me in the dark, eh
She left me with a broken heart, eh
Now I'm on my own
If anybody sees her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh)
If anybody sees her
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh)
If anybody sees her
She took the light and left me in the dark, eh
She left me with a broken heart, eh
Now I'm on my own
If anybody sees her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh)
If anybody sees her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh, eh)
Shine a light on her (eh, eh)
If anybody sees her
In McFly's song "Shine A Light", the singer is asking if his listener is strong enough to love someone and get through the hardest times. He then asks if they would be willing to be his support system, to pull him from the flames and give him shelter from the rain forever. He is searching for someone who left him with a broken heart and took away all the light in his life, leaving him in the darkness. He is pleading with anyone who might see her to shine a light on her and help him find her. He asks if anyone can hear his voice above the noise, affirming that even if he had the choice he wouldn't give up his search for her.
The song's lyrics convey a sense of desperation, loneliness, and heartbreak. It speaks to the empathy felt for those who have lost a loved one and are struggling to find a way to cope. It also addresses the dilemma of feeling like one needs someone else to pull them back from the edge of emotional turmoil but not knowing where to find that person or how to reach out to them. The verses are melodious and draw you in, and the chorus is catchy with a strong, expressive delivery, leaving you feeling an emotional connection to the words.
