PAUL WRITES:
The idea behind this song is that after all my years of playing bass, and supporting talent from all over the USA, I decided to become the frontman, if you will. So, I started learning guitar again, taking vocal lessons and all in all, just trying to do it myself.
"Now I've done what I've been told / Been bought, been borrowed, been sold / Now I'm doing things on my own / Shine the light on me" - that pretty much sums it up for me.

Shine The Light On Me Lyrics (Ludenia)
Got myself a plan, gotta plan - I'm gonna make it
Make my final stand, final stand cause I can't take it
Draw lines in the sand, in the sand for eternity
Tried to wait for you, wait for you to become it
But there's nothing new, nothing new and now I'm on it
Doing what I do, to disprove your atrocity
PRE
Now I've done what I've been told
Been bought, been borrowed, been sold
Now hear me and behold
CHORUS
Shine the light on me
This cacophony's what it ought to be
Gonna blow you away 'cause it's so like me
No more looking back, looking back - I gotta turn it
Take another crack, another crack - I'm gonna burn it
You talk a lot of smack, a lot of smack - you better shut it down
Just a lesson learned, lesson learned - never trust you
Now that it's my turn, it's my turn - I'm gonna bust you
Better to discern, to discern - the original sound
PRE
Now I'm doing things on my own
CHORUS
BRIDGE
SOLO
Got myself a plan, gotta plan - I'm gonna make it
Make my final stand, final stand cause I can't take it
Draw lines in the sand, in the sand for eternity
I tried to wait for you, wait for you to become it
But there's nothing new, nothing new and now I'm on it
Doing what I do, to disprove your atrocities
SHINE THE LIGHT ON ME
