Who cares for the life we earned?
Someone sold all the truth you yearned,
Remember when you used to shine
And had no fear or sense of time
When it creeps up on you
You can cry now there¹s nothing to feel
No one¹s noticed our loneliness
Remember when you should have teased
And made us scream eternal time
I believed that you¹d always be here
And once you promised a life with no fear
Please don¹t break my ideals
And say what thing was always real
I was
Take me back again
Someone sold all the truth you yearned,
Remember when you used to shine
And had no fear or sense of time
When it creeps up on you
You can cry now there¹s nothing to feel
No one¹s noticed our loneliness
Remember when you should have teased
And made us scream eternal time
I believed that you¹d always be here
And once you promised a life with no fear
Please don¹t break my ideals
And say what thing was always real
I was
Take me back again

Anyway, I think it's about looking back to when you were younger and everything was easier. "Remember when we used to shine." Sort of like the shine that life had before everything got screwed up as you got older and it all changed. And now wishing that you could go back to when things were simple when all that mattered was what was happening in the next 5 minutes and not in forever. But now it's like everyone is trying to make them something their not and they don't know what to do so they want to go back.
If you can make sense of that than I applaud you.
Just my opinion.
when it creeps up on you
Meaning When Death Creeps up on you. Death can happen at any momment.
i believed that you'd always be here
and once you promised a life with no fear
Its about someone who loves someone and they die.
i believed that you'd always be here
and once you promised a life with no fear
please don't break my ideas
Luckily for us whoever it was doubting him they didn't succeed in breaking his ideas so he could share them with us!!!!
"Shine (Acoustic) by Muse
Who cares for the life we've earned?
Someone sold all the truth you yearn.
Remember when you used to shine
and had no fear or sense of time?
When it creeps up on you...
You can't cry now. Theres nothing to feel.
And no one's noticed our loneliness.
Remember when you used to tease?
It made us scream eternal joy.
I believe that you'll always be here,
cause once you promised a life with no fear.
Please don't break my ideals.
And say what's fake was always real.
Hope was the one.
Now I'm gone.
Take me back again."
...but I CAN be wrong.
=P
Either that or I'm insanely high and need to cut back on the hippy dessert.
as in a "God" figure i mean the ending verse. "I believe that you'd always be here, promised a life with no fear" is just a sign of growing up, and wondering where that godly figure is in your life as you get older, because you can't go back to a time when it was good.
