“Shine A Little Light” mixes it’s lyricism with harder edges, expressing the dark connotations of death and the aftermath of coping with the loss of a lover. The chorus in particular is a plea for guidance from the departed to help the song’s protagonist cope with his inner demons.
[Verse 1]
Do you feel like you're the only one living on a prayer?
Have you ever tried to love someone who wasn't even there?
[Pre-Chorus]
No one really knows
Where it goes from here
But we all decompose
And slowly disappear
[Chorus]
If evil lays its hands on me
Shine a little light on my soul
Show me things I cannot see
Shine a little light on my soul
[Verse 2]
Go to places that you used to go
But they don't feel the same
See the faces that you used to know
But they forget your name
[Pre-Chorus]
No one really knows
Where it goes from here
But we all decompose
And slowly disappear
[Chorus]
If evil lays its hands on me
Shine a little light on my soul
Show me things I cannot see
Shine a little light on my soul
[Chorus]
If evil lays its hands on me
Shine a little light on my soul
I'm waiting, praying, patiently
Shine a little light on my soul
