Michelle Darkness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the ocean floor
So many ships, are lost eternally
With no light to guide them
To the safety of the shore
they go down for evermore
Beneath the unforgiving oceans roar
Only light can save them
Lead them safely through the night
Shine On, shine on
Through the darkest night, shine on
shine on, shine on
Till the morning light, shine on
Let your guiding light keep shining through the night
Though your warning often goes unheeded
Though there are still many lost at sea
Let your light to shine
For the few who seek to find their way to safety
Form the deadly undertow that lies below
Those who seek will follow
Lead them safely to your shore
With a light they can't ignore
Shine on, shine on
Through the darkest night sine on
Shine on, shine on
Till the morning light, shine on
Let your guiding light keep shining through the night
Shine on, shine on
Till the darkness hides, shine on
Shine on, shine on
Don't give up your fight, shine on, on me
The lyrics of Michelle Darkness's song Shine On speak of a guiding light that has the power to save lost ships that have sunk beneath the ocean's surface. Darkness compares the ocean to an unforgiving force that has claimed many lives throughout history, leaving ships and their passengers to perish without any hope of reaching safety. However, the idea of a guiding light offers hope and a chance for survival. The singer asks the light to shine on through the darkest night until the morning light, leading those who seek safety to the shore.
Despite the warning of the dangerous undertow that lies below, there are still those who seek safety and will follow the light, hoping for a chance to survive. The singer acknowledges that the light's warning often goes unheeded, but it is still a beacon of hope and should continue shining for those who seek it. The repeated refrain of "Shine on, shine on" emphasizes the importance of perseverance and not giving up the fight, even in the darkest of times.
Overall, the lyrics of Shine On provide a powerful message of hope and perseverance, encouraging listeners to keep shining their light even in the darkest of times, as it may be what saves those lost at sea.

Far beneath the raging sea
Deep underwater where it's chaotic and dangerous
On the ocean floor
At the very bottom of the ocean where it's dark and cold
So many ships, are lost eternally
Many vessels have disappeared without a trace and won't be found
With no light to guide them
Without any source of illumination to show the way
To the safety of the shore
Towards land where it's safe and free from danger
they go down for evermore
They sink and are lost forever
Beneath the unforgiving oceans roar
Amidst the loud and powerful noise produced by water
Only light can save them
Illumination is the only hope for salvation
Will you shine again to night
Are you willing to provide a source of light tonight?
Lead them safely through the night
Guide them without danger as they navigate their way
Shine On, shine on
Continue shining your light
Through the darkest night, shine on
Even during the darkest and toughest times
Till the morning light, shine on
Until daylight comes, keep shining
Let your guiding light keep shining through the night
Don't let your light go out and continue to show the way
Though your warning often goes unheeded
Despite the fact that your advice is ignored
Though there are still many lost at sea
Even though many remain lost in the ocean
Let your light to shine
Allow your light to illuminate the way
For the few who seek to find their way to safety
For those who are actively searching for a way out
Form the deadly undertow that lies below
Escape from the strong underwater current that is lethal
Those who seek will follow
Those who are searching for safety will pursue and follow the light
Lead them safely to your shore
Get them to safety without danger
With a light they can't ignore
With illumination that they cannot overlook or disregard
Till the darkness hides, shine on
Keep shining even when it gets really dark
Don't give up your fight, shine on, on me
Keep fighting and shining on me
