This track was written about the inability to not be distracted in life. Sometimes we are looking for things to make us happy, we go where the light is. We often reach for Shiny Objects.
lyrics
In a world of gleam and glitter, we're chasing every dream
Shiny objects catch our eye, like a silent scream
But as we're drawn closer, we start to lose our way
Love and loss like shadows, in the dazzle of the day
Silver coins and golden rings, they dance before our eyes
We trade our hearts for shiny things, under starry skies
But when the morning breaks, and the night's embrace is gone
We find ourselves alone, in a world that's moving on
Diamonds sparkling in the night, like stars above
We reach for them with all our might, in the name of love
But as they blind us with their shine, we stumble in the dark
Lust in the illusion, of a love that left its mark
Oh shiny objects we can't not see
Steal our time and hearts, as we chase our dreams
Oh shiny objects, it's not the Gold we miss
It's the love we left behind for the pursuit of bliss
Crystal tears and candlelight, on a night so cold
We realize what we've lost in our search for Gold
In your eyes, I see a spark that outshines it all
Our love is worth more, than any shiny thrall
Diamonds sparkling in the night, like stars above
We reach for them with all our might, in the name of love
Oh the shiny objects we can't not see
Steal our time and hearts, as we chase our dreams
Oh shiny objects, it's not the Gold we miss
It's the love, we left behind for the pursuit of bliss
So let's leave this shiny world behind, with all it's empty charm
In each other's arms we'll find, a love that never harms
Diamonds sparkling in the night, we stumble in the dark
Lost in the illusion, in a love that's left it's mark
Oh the shiny objects, we can't not see
Steal our time and hearts, as we chase our dreams
Oh shiny objects, it's not the Gold we miss
It's the love, we left behind for the pursuit of bliss
All those shiny objects you find, always on your mind
All those shiny objects you see, look inside of me
