Shine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
拿年轻仅有的美色 粉饰繁华
文华里 同时这一剎那
同龄的她正扣着我臂弯喝茶
身份既隔着千里 也似在命运两极
当中有个有资格更高级吗
同样都叫玛利亚 同样都信玛利亚
同样得到温饱 一样每天修甲购物吗
又有一个却直飞东京 沿路买奢华
谁都识过玛利亚 谁都可以变做她
谁是爱侣或路人 那一线之差
行事是谁得意自豪 我最易动情吧
那位她(有没有人 ha...) 帮她一把
The lyrics to Shine's song "Man Gu Ma Li Ya" describe two women named Maria who live completely different lives but share the same name and faith in (presumably) the Virgin Mary. One Maria is found in the red-light district, using her youth and beauty to make a living amidst the bustling cityscape. The other Maria is found in a sophisticated setting, sipping tea with the singer who wonders if her status puts her on a higher plane than the other Maria. Despite their differing circumstances, both Marias share similar daily routines such as getting their nails done and going shopping, but one Maria is destined for a life stuck in Bangkok while the other jet sets to Tokyo.
Through the lyrics, the singer reflects on the power of one's identity and how it can shape the course of their life. Both women are called Maria and both work hard to make ends meet, but they differ in their trajectory due to circumstances outside of their control. The song also touches on the idea of the grass always being greener on the other side, as the singer wonders if one Maria's life is truly better than the other's. Overall, the song highlights the complexity of identity and how it can impact one's place in the world.
