Shine Through Lyrics by The Stupendium
[Verse 1]
New face in a new town
But it feels like everyone knows your name
You've been solo for so long
And you've been so low for so long
Thought you were breaking fresh ground
But everything seems the same
You've been solo for so long
And you've been so low for so long
So cross that bridge and start anew
I know it seems hard to do
Swear the world's not half as blue
As the one you think you're passing through
And this fantasy that you’ve fabricated’s
Desaturated and grey
And you have to see that you can’t escape it
If you keep running away
You’ve got this power inside and its frightening
Drowned in emotion, this ocеan you’re syphoning
Chromatose, down in the tidе that you’re hiding in
No one should be as alone as you try to be
Family trees don’t need be organic
The branches you graft are as equally valid
So if your party of one’s world is pallid
Go plant some paladins packing a palette
[Pre-Chorus]
Know that you’re not alone
Don’t gotta stay in the monochrome
[Chorus]
Whenever your life is strange and
The pain is too much to go through
Know that you can find your haven
In those you’ve chose to be close to
‘Cause we’ll find the brightest colours
When we look inside each other
This life is more vibrant for the
Ones who find the light to shine through
Shine through, shine through
The ones who find the light to shine through
Shine through, shine through
[Verse 2]
So you don’t feel ready? Well, who does?
Aren’t you scared that you aren’t enough?
Does it make you wanna yell, oh-whoa-oh-oh
Why the hell you agreeing with that stuff?
I know your emotions just blew you away
Caught in the ghosts, running through yesterdays
Jaded, dismayed or a violent rage
Well, the diary’s white 'til you write on the page
Your life’s not a shade, it’s a spectrum
And there ain’t no hex code for making connections
No eye-drop and fill to decide what you feel
There’s no guidebook or wheel you can reference
The answers will come as you render the questions
In every strum of that uncertain plectrum
And every friend’s a new fret on the neck
A new note to compose with, a tone to depend on
[Pre-Chorus]
Things might RGB bad today
But everything will be CMY-OK
[Chorus]
Whenever your life is strange and
The pain is too much to go through
Know that you can find your haven
In those you’ve chose to be close to
‘Cause we’ll find the brightest colours
When we look inside each other
This life is more vibrant for the
Ones who find the light to shine through
Shine through
[Bridge]
When the lanterns turn black and the mountain falls silent
Denied any closure, the light disembarks
When that solid ground that you found is subsiding
But bright is the nova confined to the dark
Your heart’s not a prison, it’s a prism
For this kaleidoscope life that we’re given
Filled with its twists and its turns and transitions
Bringing us purpose in every collision
You found what you lost then you lost what you found
Life’s more than survival and home’s not a town
It’s the people you bring as the kaleidoscope spins
And the colours they print when you’re writing it down
[Chorus]
Whenever your life is strange and
The pain is too much to go through
Know that you can find your haven
In those you’ve chose to be close to
‘Cause we’ll find the brightest colours
When we look inside each other
This life is more vibrant for the
Ones who find the light to shine through
Shine through, shine through
The ones who find the light to shine through
Shine through, shine through
[Spoken Outro]
Nothing lasts, everything fades
And every day, you are picking a pigment
To place on the canvas life paints
So why choose grey?
In the gallery of your time
You cannot always choose the pictures
But you can choose how they are depicted
And they will always be hung in your frame of mind
So smile but it’s okay to be sad
Blue is in the rainbow for a reason
And it has some of the shortest wavelengths
Because there’s never enough time to say goodbye
Everyone’s song ends
But how we crescendo is not as important
As all of the harmonies we left in our friends
You don’t get to go back
You just get to look
So make sure that the pictures you took
Are as colourful as they can be
