Shine on Me
Shing02 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder when's the next time she will shine on me
I curse the clouds blocking me shouting blasphemy
At night is she warming up to another hemisphere
And I'm here mind wandering plenty

Now she visiting me in my dreams
Vivid as can be and lucid in my daily routine
Everything I see losing its sheen
A glimmer of hope, nope yet to be seen
Jealousy is a flame that is hard to extinguish
A stagnant pool, cue ball a little English
Baby don't you know that patience is a virtue
Anything to the contrary can hurt you
In the long run, going crazy
No matter how many times it got rained on me
I need my sunshine
When you don't come around, my plants die
Wish I could live like bonsai
Remember sun-kissed skin and I'm feeling oozy
Missing a piece in the puzzle should I lose it
In my pocket and I looked around everywhere
Only to find it later, a round silver-wear

I wonder when's the next time she will shine on me
I curse the clouds blocking me shouting blasphemy
At night is she warming up to another hemisphere
And I'm here mind wandering plenty

I can't look at you more than a second
You're too bright and my eyes are naked
Wanna stare, would I make it
But when I do you leave an imprint
On my iris the film negative
Man I gotta run to develop it
Few more hours if not days of agony, it's evident
The wait is killing me softly
I better find another way to be dealing with anomaly
In a situation room staring at the monitor
With members of the cabinet calming the nerves
Overwhelmed with the magical phenomena
Colors fade to ripple of a domino effect of
A butterfly flapping in the wind
Basking in the sun more elusive than a basket and a win
I caught a glimpse but I haven't heard since
Chances are slim, forecast looking grim

I wonder when's the next time she will shine on me
I curse the clouds blocking me, shouting blasphemy
At night, is she warming up to another hemisphere
And I'm here mind wandering plenty

The globe we be chilling on, glow like a mirror ball
Flow is on minimal, three minute intervals
I understand now, exchange is subliminal
Even if you know the face, you don't even know the fate
It's like having four seasons in seven days
Spring, summer, fall, winter on a Saturday
I had to leave behind the joint living in a daze
Heaven gave me lemons, I made lemonade
I had to make and take a stand I can sell
You were hoping you can have her to yourself
She can give enough shine to everybody in vicinity
On top of that, light every home in this city
I'm on the corner of chaos and certainty
The only thing that I'm sure is my urgency




I gotta get my pass stamped at the embassy
Now I'm sitting in the row, exit in emergency
