Shine celebrates the inevitability of change. It's he's willing to risk everything he's achieved for the freedom of a new beginning.
There's a poem by William Blake that Trey has quoted in respect to the song : 'He who binds himself to a joy, does the winged life destroy: But he who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity's sun rise.'"
Anastasio requotes Blake's idea in his own words in this song. "I wanted to start off with something that summed up the point that seemingly negative events - which are basically just moments of painful change - may come and go, but the light is always shining on. It's always going to be there, no matter what."
