 * LYRICS**

If I listened to everything that they said to me I wouldn't be here And if I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way I wouldn't be here The ones who don't do anything are the ones who try to put you down You could spend your entire life in the nowhere land of self doubt When you start to doubt yourself The real world will eat you alive

It's time to align your body with your mind It's hero time It's time to align your body with your mind It's time to shine

I'm talking to you. Hero time starts right now

If you think you've got 100 extra years to mess around you're wrong This time is real. Your time is now. It's hero time.

Hard times are getting harder The liars are acting strong You better get a grip on yourself Or you won't be around too long

No such thing as spare time No such thing as free time No such thing as down time All you got is life time. GO

I got grace in times of friction I got truth in times of fiction I got no time for the hype Suicide? I'm not the type

No time for drug addiction No time for smoke and booze Too strong for a shortened life span I've got no time to lose


 * Analysis**

"Shine" by Henry Rollins shows both __confidence__ as well as __self-reliance__. The song begins with the lyric: "If I listened to everything that they said to me I wouldn't be here." This shows how he is self-reliant in himself, as he believes that he was successful because he believed in himself instead of listening to what others told him. Also, the lyrics of this song indicates the listeners not to be affected by what others say or believe. "When you start to doubt yourself, the real world will eat you alive." This part of the lyrics shows the singer's great confidence in himself, stating that one should not doubt oneself, instead be confident in his beliefs.
