Shine bright like a diamond
Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I , we’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight,
You and I
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye,
So alive
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Palms rise to the universe, as we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we’ll never die
We’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I’m alive
We’re like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright
Tonight,
You and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye,
So alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
So shine bright
Tonight,
You and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye,
So alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
The lyrics to Rihanna’s “Diamonds” speak to the beauty and radiance that exists within each and every individual. The song encourages listeners to find the light within themselves and to let it shine bright like a diamond. The opening lines of the chorus repeat the phrase “Shine bright like a diamond” to emphasize this idea. The choice to use a diamond as a metaphor is significant as it is one of the hardest substances known to man, and is often associated with strength and durability. By comparing oneself to a diamond, the song suggests that one’s inner beauty and strength are just as valuable and resilient.
The verse that follows the chorus elaborates on this concept, describing the beauty that can be found within oneself and in the world around us. It speaks to the choice that we make to be happy, and to the power that exists within each of us to create our own happiness. The lyrics then shift to describe the connection between two individuals, who are compared to “diamonds in the sky.” This imagery suggests that their connection is heavenly, transcendent, and rare. The repeated line “You’re a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy” reinforces the idea of a connection that is almost mythical in its beauty and intensity.
The final verse of the song describes the feeling of letting go and experiencing a sense of transcendence. The lines “Palms rise to the universe, as we moonshine and molly / Feel the warmth, we’ll never die / We’re like diamonds in the sky” suggest a feeling of release and euphoria, as if the individuals are being lifted to a higher plane of existence. The song’s message ultimately conveys the idea that each and every person possesses a unique and radiant inner beauty that is worth recognizing and celebrating.

I had just discovered it. (March 2024)
It's really so sad he is now dead,
It's sad, I just learned it
(Even if his death dates from 2022)
I just learned it
so, I wish all my sympathies to his mother
(and to all those who love him)
I'm crying as I write this
Thanks
