Shine
Embrace the Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of 'Shine' by Cold Showers
Lyrics
I found myself
Feeling self-aware or discovering one's identity.
On the dark side of your star
Experiencing a challenging or difficult phase associated with someone significant ("your star").
You held by my hands
Having support or guidance from the person mentioned.
You let me down
Feeling let down or disappointed by that person.
I cried no
Expressing denial or refusal, possibly to the disappointment or situation.
Not like this
Rejecting a particular outcome or circumstance, suggesting a desire for a different experience.
But you said yes
Contradicting the rejection in line #6, as the person mentioned insists on a different path ("you said yes").
You'll go far
Encouraging the person to pursue their goals or ambitions ("You'll go far").
So come on
Inviting the person to take action or move forward despite challenges.
Shine where you are
Encouraging the person to shine or succeed in their current situation.
Come prepared
Advising to be ready for negativity, deception, and untrustworthy individuals.
For snakes and scum and lies
Warning about the presence of deceitful and undesirable elements.
Don't take my word
Emphasizing the importance of personal experience over someone else's perspective or advice.
They're here to get you high
Suggesting that certain influences are present to induce a heightened state, possibly of negativity or altered perception.
They circle round
Comparing negative influences to persistent and bothersome entities like flies.
Just like the common fly
Highlighting the pervasive nature of the negative forces.
Now you know
Confirming awareness of the negative influences.
I close my eyes
Symbolizing a moment of turning inward or shutting out external influences.
So come on
Reiterating the call to take positive action despite challenges.
Shine where you are
Encouraging the person to shine in their current circumstances.
