Shine Lyrics

just a grain of sand on a thousand
beaches
just like dust in the wind
try to understand why I go to pieces
don't know where to begin
got a smokin' hand nobody knows my
plan
but I can feel it, it's gonna over load
it's a greed machine, it means everything
I'm gonna have to get it out of my
head
got a screaming hand, shadows are all
my friends
cause they conceal me when I overload
it's a greed machine, it means everything
to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads

I still shine

got a smokin' hand no one can
understand
but I can feel it's gonna overload
it's a greed machine, it means
everything to me
I can't conceal it when it overloads

I still shine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
