Shine On
Soil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shine on me
With more than
I ever thought I had

Make me see
The release
In the words that I've shared
Shine on me
With more than
I ever thought I had

Make me see why
I should not fade away
Let me feel where you stand

We've shared fears of no use
We've shared fears of self-abuse
Let me feel where you stand

I feel what you feel
And you know what I know
The only way to make it right
Is to keep it real

This will not fade away
We've lived every word we've screamed
Together, hearts in hand

You thank me for being me
Well, thank you for allowing me
To be just who I am

I feel what you feel
And you know what I know
The only way to make it right
Is to make it real

I feel what you feel
And you know what I know
The only way to keep it right
Is to keep it real

We will not go away
We will not fade away
No matter who I am

We will not go away
We will not fade away
No matter who I am

Shine on me
With more than
I ever thought I had

Make me see
The release
In the words that I've shared

I feel what you feel
And you know what I know
The only way to make it right
Is to make it real

I feel what you feel
And you know what I know
The only way to keep it right
Is to keep it real

We will not go away
We will not fade away
No matter who I am

We will not go away
We will not fade away
No matter who I am

For a nerdy medical examiner, Susie had excellent taste.

Lilly Perez

SOiL can't be fucked with. I was at a show tonight, in Indy.  Ryan got off the stage after missing 5 weeks of performing, due to a serious Illness . Got in the crowd, during Halo and let everyone sing with him on the MIC!  
If you want to know what it is like to have a real frontman in your band, tell your buddy to take lessons, out of all the amazing shows I have been to . RYAN McCombs proved to me that METAL IS NOT DEAD!!!!!.

Randall Scott

Yeah I had learned about that the day after the show. Serious enough that he has to keep his health in check. I got to chat with him for awhile he is a real down to earth dude. I told him I was glad he got to come out of it healthy and still kicking ass.

Daniel Popps

@NAPTOWN NUISANCE He had a stroke, not a heart attack. Both are serious but there is a big difference.

Randall Scott

@NAPTOWN NUISANCE  Waiting?!!!

Randall Scott

Tell me what band's lead singer would suffer a heart attack and then 5 months later get into the pit and stand at the front of the stage and put the mic in everyones face, so that they could sing the lyrics to their most popular song which is HALO?

Mitchell Miller

Thank god the real SOIL is back, we have missed you buddy.

Omar Almeyda

Absolutely!
