Check It Out
Shine Your Light: A Soul's Journey to Redemption
Lyrics
want to be beautiful, so I got a magazine
Desire for beauty through media influence
But it made me so sleepy, and now I'm in a dream
Feeling drowsy or disconnected from reality due to media consumption
A voice says, "Go down to the river between the bridge and the ravine
Receiving guidance or an inner prompting to a specific location
And don't come out of the water till your light shines clean"
A directive to undergo a transformative experience (symbolized by water) until purification or clarity is achieved
Chorus
Repetition emphasizes the directive to 'check it out,' implying a need for examination or exploration
Check it out, check it out, check it out
-Check it out, check it out, check it out
-Check it out, check it out, check it out
-Check it out
-I put my head underwater, it's like my childhood room
Immersing into an environment reminiscent of childhood
But the water won't clean me, it smells like women's perfume
Disappointment or disillusionment in the attempt to cleanse oneself
How can I wash my sins away with the water from this poisoned stream?
Struggle with using contaminated means to seek redemption
And how can I get my light to shine when I don't know if I can be redeemed?
Questioning the possibility of personal redemption or inner transformation
Chorus
Reiterating the call to 'check it out,' reinforcing the need for exploration or investigation
I saw the Rocky Mountains on a dirty TV screen
Perception of something pristine tainted by an external factor
But when I tried to polish it, I found that it was clean
Realization that something initially perceived as flawed is actually unblemished
Sometimes I want to buy Bob's old VW bug, drive back to 1969
Nostalgic desire to revisit the past
But then who'd be around to polish it when I finally get my light to shine?
Concern about the absence of others to share in the accomplishment of personal growth
Chorus
Reiterating the call to 'check it out,' reinforcing the need for exploration or investigation
