Spirit Shine Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Convergence 

Cover art for Spirit Shine lyrics by Bad Religion

I think that "spirit shine" is Greg's term for people that always seem to be motivated by their religious beliefs. Like someone who is "on fire" for Jesus; everything they do is dictated by their beliefs.

some qualities of someone who has the "spirit shine":

  1. will turn the other cheek
  2. will give away any excess money
  3. lives unselfishly (I think that in Graffin's view, some selfishness is a good thing)
  4. Lives by faith.

I think what BR was trying to say is that this behavior suggests an underlying problem. (tortured mind) and that ultimately it's effect is bad (render you blind)

lolwut @ 2 and 3.
