Shine
Embrace the Flight: Letting Go and Shining Bright with James Deacon
Lyrics
Don’t look back
Encouragement to move forward without dwelling on the past.
Keep it moving
Emphasizing the importance of continuous progress.
Everything’s on track
Assurance that everything is going as planned.
No time for losing
Stressing the need to avoid wasting time on defeat.
Take care of yourself
An exhortation to prioritize self-care.
Nobody else around
Emphasizing self-reliance, absence of others.
You don’t need no help
Asserting independence, rejecting assistance.
Since you left the ground
Implying personal growth since departing.
Taking your photographs
Preserving memories through photographs.
Keeping them for the record
Documenting experiences for future reference.
Taking your boarding pass
Keeping a symbol of departure (boarding pass).
Never to return
Commitment to not go back to the past.
Over the open plains
Describing a journey over open landscapes.
Flying above the tree tops
Symbolic flight, possibly over challenges.
Maybe you left me here
Suggesting abandonment or letting go.
Or maybe I let you go
Reflecting on the possibility of one's role in separation.
Shine, let you go
Repetition of "Shine, let you go," expressing release and empowerment.
Shine, let you go

-Shine, you go and shine
-Maybe I let you go, shine
Reiteration of letting go and encouraging individual brilliance.
Let you go, shine
-Let you go, shine
-You go and shine
-I’m gonna let you go
Decisive choice to release and move forward.
Nothing here for you
Acknowledging the absence of anything for the person in question.
No apologies
No apologies for the decision to move on.
Your new life awaits
Highlighting the potential of a new and better life.
Make new memories
Encouraging the creation of positive memories.
Keep them close to you
Emphasizing the importance of keeping positive experiences close.
Build your family
Encouragement to build and nurture a family.
There’s no time but now
Stressing the immediacy of the present moment.
