Shine Lyrics

shine
i heard her sing
i need a voice given anything
all i want to dream
flattery
days that never come
to shine a light on the damage done
somedays without a sound
i feel the dark even closer now
i wear it
a winter coat
i'm far away but not far enough
what's true is torn
and shouted down
the world's at my feet
and it turns when i speak
and it shines
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
shine and all that is
sleep, it never comes
i lay awake
all the shutters drawn
look at me i'm shamed
my bottle done
i hear her beating down on dirty wings
i feel the room move under me
i'm far away but not far enough
what's true is torn
and out of place
the world's at my feet
and it turns when i speak
and it shines
shine
i heard her sing
a crooked voice and a dirty wings
beating under me
flattery
the world's at my feet
and it turns when i speak
on its drums and its wheels
shine
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
shine and all that is
comes down upon me
shine and all that is
comes down upon me

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.

Cover art for Shine lyrics by Psychedelic Furs, The

A solitary man sits alone in his room thinking about the breakup of his relationship which sounds pretty epic. And I think that's about it. <i>All the shutters drawn Look at me I'm shamed My bottle done</i> Not sure about the "dirty wings" bit...
