FUEL

- Shimmer Lyrics

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low
Feeling short of stable
All that she intends
And all she keeps inside
Isn't on the label

She says she's ashamed
Can she take me for a while?
Can I be a friend?
We'll forget the past
Or maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend

We're here and now
Will we ever be again?
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise
Pink linen on white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies
Reality escapes her

She says that love
Is for fools that fall behind
And I'm somewhere between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend

We're here and now
Will we ever be again?
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away
It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away
Ah-ow

Yeah, it's too far away for me to hold
Too far away, ah-ow
It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away
It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away, ah-ow
It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away
Guess I'll let it go

What is the meaning behind Shimmer lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, Fuel's 'Shimmer' is a tale woven with threads of longing, disillusionment, and the transient quality of happiness. The words paint a picture of an unreachable place and describe the battle of trying to keep something beautiful with the shadow of its passing already cast over it, which is represented in the forms of shining mirages like champagne dreams and fairy lands with butterflies. The Shimmer lyrics heavily stress out topics of heartbreak, angst, love, despair, and self-examination. The song signals at the same time through its lyrics the struggles with connection, the fleeting nature of life, and disillusionment with love as the central issues in our lives. The lyrics reflect emotional struggles and relationships that might not be appropriate for very young kids, but they are free of any explicit language, violence or other adult content that would be a reason for giving a stronger rating. Thus, parental guidance comes along with the warning of mature themes.

This song definitely had a different meaning to everyone; different situations and different people. But one basic meaning-Nothing good will last forever. And the lyrics are off, but not bad lol.

This song is amazing. It doesn't make me happy though, it makes me sad to think of how much I can relate. Even though I'm not ready for a friendship, I fight for it cuz I want her in some way. Any way

they were more than friends in some way at some point, but now she's moved on, and he hasn't. she's over him and wants to try to be friends, but he's not ready yet, and might never be.

yeah, my days are pretty stressful until I hear this song, and then I go back to a time where I didn't really have to care about much of anything.

My days are pretty droopy until I hear this song and think of how much we relate to it. Then it brings me higher than any high.
