Shine
Steve Aoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer nights, bottles on ice
Everyone around hanging out by the campfire
Living life, feeling so right
I don't want this night to end, yeah
Run it up, run it up 'til we runnin' out
'Cause enough's not enough, gotta let it out
Don't pretend to know too much
Take me far away from here
Where it's cold outside and the sun don't shine
Just take me far away
To somewhere I can free my mind
All the rules don't apply out here
Whoa, whoa
It's the sweet escape that we're waiting for
Whoa, whoa
Party 'til the stars don't shine here
Whoa, whoa
Party 'til the stars don't shine here
Party 'til the stars don't shine here
Gonna light it up, we gon' celebrate
Pull the cameras out, start rollin'
Tonight we gonna make us a moment
(Yeah, yeah) whoa
If anybody doesn't hear from me
It's only 'cause I'm gone and I don't need saving
It's like they never wanna let you free
You just gotta break away, doesn't matter what they say now
Take me far away from here
Where it's cold outside and the sun don't shine
Just take me far away
To somewhere I can free my mind
All the rules don't apply out here
Whoa, whoa
It's the sweet escape that we're waiting for
Whoa, whoa
Party 'til the stars don't shine here
Whoa, whoa
Party 'til the stars don't shine here
Party 'til the stars don't shine here
The lyrics to Steve Aoki's song "Shine" convey a sense of escapism and a desire to break free from the constraints of everyday life. The opening lines set the scene of a summer night, with the mention of bottles on ice and people gathering around a campfire. It creates an atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to seize the moment and make the most of the night, not wanting it to end. The repetition of the line "Don't pretend to know too much" hints at a carefree attitude and a willingness to embrace the unknown.
The chorus serves as a call for a change of scenery, a longing to be far away from the familiar surroundings. The desire to escape is emphasized by wanting to go somewhere where the cold outside and the sun don't shine. This represents a desire for something different, a break from the mundane. The lyrics suggest that in this new place, rules and limitations don't apply, allowing for a sense of freedom and liberation.
