"Shimmer" - Fuel
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She say's she's ashamed
And can she take me for a while
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now, but 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 and 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 in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend
It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...
Guess I'll let it go
The one line in this song that strikes me as so absolutely true is, "All that shimmers is sure to fade away again." That line makes this song refer to so many things. Obviously about love, but one can relate this sort of feeling to any "good" thing that has happened in life.
