Shine
Roger Shah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching the movement
The morning fractures the sky
Waiting to see the reflection react in your eyes
Suspending the moment, the silence breaks through
And we all roll like the waves on the tide
Fragile like crystal we shatter together
And wait for the storm to subsides
And it comes right out of the blue
When the love shines down on you
You may try to resist
But there's nothing you can do
You will feel, you will know
When the love shines on you

Don't let go of my hand, don't leave me alone
Believe in the dream we both shared
Make this island our home
But you leave when you want to
You know I can't hold you
Your spirit so free and so wild
Something inside me will always deny
You can't hide

And it comes right out of the blue
When the love shines down on you
You may try to resist
But there's nothing you can do
You will feel, you will know
When the love shines on you

Shines
Oh, shines
Shines down on you

And it comes right out of the blue
When the love shines down on you
You may try to resist
But there's nothing you can do
You will feel, you will know
When the love shines on you

It shines
Shines
Shines down on me
Shines down on me
Down on me
Love shines on me
Oh, it shines




Shines
Shines down on me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Roger Shah's song "Shine" speak of the power of love to break through our defenses and touch us in a deeply personal way. The first verse describes watching the movement of the morning and waiting for a reflection of love to appear. This is followed by a powerful image of fragility and strength combined, as we all "roll like waves on the tide" and shatter together, waiting for the storm to subside. These lyrics convey a sense of surrender to the forces of love, as if we are powerless to resist its call.


The second verse speaks of the fear that can accompany love, as the singer implores his partner not to leave him alone and to believe in the dream they share. However, he acknowledges that her spirit is free and wild, and that he cannot hold her back. Despite this, he still feels that something inside him will always deny her, revealing the ambivalence that can accompany love and its power to change us.


Ultimately, the chorus tells us that when the love shines down on us, there is nothing we can do to resist it. We will feel it and know it when it touches us, and it will shine down on us with its bright light. These lyrics capture the transformative power of love to change us and bring us closer to ourselves and to others.
