Shine Lyrics

Shine,
So fragile
Try,
With such kindness
Self-regardless

Lie,
So truthfully
Unknowingly

Don't hide,
'Cause I'm on your side,
I'm on your side

Brighter,
Closer,
Such loss,
Such fear

So close,
We are
Not lost,
Not far

Shine,
So fragile
Don't hide,
'Cause I'm on your side,
I'm on your side


Brighter,
Closer,
Such loss,
Such fear

Stand off,
On fire
We touch
Desire

Jesus Christ
On fire
Desire
Jesus Christ on fire

I don't see you in my sky
I don't see you in my sky
I don't see you in my sky

Burnt out like faded stars,
We are
Burnt out like faded stars,
We are

If I could go right now,
So far
If I could go right now
So far

Burnt out like faded stars,
We are
Burnt out like faded stars,
We are

You shine. So fragile. You try with such kindess, self regardless You lie so truthfully, unknowingly. You hide but I'm on your side. I'm on your side.

Brighter. closer. such lies, such fear Stand up on fire. Return desire.

You shine. So fragile. Don't hide 'cause I'm your side. I'm on your side.

Brighter love on such lies, such fear So close we are. Not us, not far.

Jesus Christ On fire. Desire. Jesus Christ. On fire

I'll see you in my sky. I'll see you in my sky. I'll see you in my sky.

Outside (But I'm inside??) my faded stars, we are. Outside my faded stars, we are.

If I could go (come?? jump? joy? glow?) right now so far If I could go (come? jump? joy? glow?) right now so far

Outside my faded stars, we are. Outside my faded stars, we are.

These were really difficult. At 2:42 it sort of sounds like "Jesus Christ" and at 2:55 it definitely sounds like Jesus Christ, which doesn't make sense.

Anyway, I think this song is about insecurities and how a person might feel they're not good enough for things - relationships, etc. And this song tells them, "You're wrong, just shine". Very appropriate, given that the next song on the album is "Stars"

Love Ulrich Schnauss, seems to be more lyrics on this album than his previous work.

Hey, whisk3rs, good job on the lyrics...

It is:

Jesus Christ's on fire both times (and I think it makes sense).

However, the line "Soft regardless" is definitely "Self regardless", which is the same as saying "selfless", i.e. not selfish.

Peace!

Beautiful song... Thanks whisk3rs for your point of view, but I have a question (my English isn't so good yet): what does "unchart but faded stars, we are" mean? A light of hope for them? Or something else? Best regards :).

This is the most beautiful song ever. It's so irritating when an artist doesn't publish lyrics with their work. But I guess sometimes its not about what you say but the sound that the words make as an addition to the song. Anyway, I heard the lyrics a little differently and Im going to put them here. I'm not saying mine are right, I think everyone is going to put a special meaning to this song when they hear it.

You shine So fragile Don't hide 'Cuz I'm your side I'm on your side

Bright On Love on Such love Such fear

So Close we are not us on fire

Jesus Crist on fire desire Jesus Crist on fire

I'll see you in my sky I'll see you in my sky I'll see you in my sky

Outside my faded stars we are Outside my faded stars we are

If I could come right now so far If I could come right now so far

Outside my faded stars we are outside my faded stars we are

Ack! It didnt publish the first part of the song! Here's the whole thing again:

You Shine So Fragile You try with such kindness self regardless

Laugh So truthfully All knowingly

You hide but I'm on your side I'm on your side

Bright On Closer Such love (lies???) Such fear

Stand up On fire Return Desire

You shine So fragile Don't hide 'Cuz I'm your side I'm on your side

Bright On Love on Such love Such fear

So Close we are not us on fire

Jesus Crist on fire desire Jesus Crist on fire

I'll see you in my sky I'll see you in my sky I'll see you in my sky

Outside my faded stars we are Outside my faded stars we are

If I could come right now so far If I could come right now so far

Outside my faded stars we are outside my faded stars we are

Just a correction: It's NOT "Jesus Christ on Fire"

It's "Jesus Christ, I'm on Fire. If you listen in a good pair of monitors or headphones you can hear this. The song is very stylized lyrically and there is a brever (reversed reverb) effect layered on the vocals that makes it difficult sometimes. And the way it is sung at that point, it most certainly at first sounds like "JC on Fire" because I'm & on are mashed up very quickly. Lyrically that wouldn't make any sense, and could be considered offensive. Kind of interesting that the addition of the word "I'm" makes it flow better lyrically. I'm sure Robert Duncan McVey new this when he wrote the lyrics.

just a correction I figured should be mentioned.

The rest of the lyrics looks on point everyone. Thanks for contributing. :)
