Shine
Ephemeral Reflections: Anthony Green's 'Shine' Unveiled
Lyrics
When time slows down
Time seems to pass slowly.
And I start to think about
The singer reflects on various things.
All the things we've seen
Recollection of experiences and memories.
And the boys come running by
Boys rush past, creating a joyful commotion.
In a flash of happy noise
Their presence is marked by a fleeting but cheerful disturbance.
And I'm scared for them
The singer feels concern or fear for these boys.
When you've had enough
When someone reaches a breaking point.
And you no longer feel if it's happening
No longer sensing or perceiving ongoing events or emotions.
All, all for you
An implication of doing everything for someone else.
Can't believe the things we've seen
Expressing disbelief at experiences encountered.
But I can tell it's
The singer can discern the direction things are heading.
Going nowhere (I swear)
A declaration that the situation is not progressing positively.
What did you see in that dream?
Asking about something observed or experienced in a dream.
I can't believe it's happening (I swear)
Reiterating disbelief at the unfolding events.
When the door slams loud
When something abruptly ends or concludes loudly.
And you can't stand to be around
Feeling an inability to remain in a particular situation.
All the things you've seen
Reflecting on past experiences and memories.
And the girls come running by
Girls rush past, creating a chaotic and intense moment.
In a flash, a violent wave
Their presence is marked by a fleeting but intense disturbance.
But you know it won't last
Awareness that this intense moment will not last.
If you've gone too far
Going too far or crossing a line.
And you no longer feel if it's happening
No longer sensing or perceiving ongoing events or emotions (similar to line 9).
All, all for you
An implication of doing everything for someone else (similar to line 10).
(I swear) Can't believe the things we've seen
Expressing disbelief at experiences encountered (similar to line 12).
But I can tell it's
The singer can discern the direction things are heading (similar to line 13).
Going nowhere (I swear)
A declaration that the situation is not progressing positively (similar to line 14).
What did you see in that dream? (I swear)
Asking about something observed or experienced in a dream (similar to line 15).
I can't believe it's happening (I swear)
Reiterating disbelief at the unfolding events (similar to lines 16 and 27).
If you've had enough
When someone reaches a breaking point (similar to line 8).
And you no longer feel if it's happening
No longer sensing or perceiving ongoing events or emotions (similar to lines 9 and 25).
All, all for you
An implication of doing everything for someone else (similar to lines 10 and 26).
