She Came Shining
Fading Promises and Shining Moments: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Pavlov's Dog's 'She Came Shining'
Lyrics
I used to see light in your eyes
I used to perceive brightness or joy in your eyes
But I don't see it anymore
But that brightness or joy is no longer present
And all those promises you made to me
All the commitments and assurances you gave me
I don't need them anymore
I no longer require them or find them meaningful
I used to waste
In the past, I would spend significant time in bed
Hours in bed
And I came dangerously close to following
And I came to close to follow
Closely following your lead or influence
Follow you down
Trying to emulate or imitate your path
I used to phone you thousands of times
I used to call you numerous times
And now you never seem to call
Now, you rarely initiate contact or call me
And all the songs that I've sung to you
All the songs that I dedicated to you
I don't sing them anymore
I no longer sing them or find them relevant
I used to waste
Similar to line 6, expressing a repetition of past behavior
Hours in bed
Continuing the theme of spending significant time in bed
And I came to close to follow
Repeated desire to closely follow or emulate
Follow you down
Reiteration of the inclination to follow
And I'm leaving cause I'm all over you
I am leaving because I am overwhelmed by you
And do you think that's fine
Is this acceptable to you?
And I don't mind
Indicating a lack of objection or concern
Do you think that's fine
Reiteration of the lack of objection or concern
And I don't mind at all
I am not bothered or concerned at all
Cause she came shining
She arrived with brilliance or radiance
She came shining
Reiteration of her arrival with radiance
And Chinatown it ain't never seemed so bad
Chinatown appears worse than ever
