Q. Dear Oracle! My mother tongue is not English so I have a question in conection with Lost! lyrics. "I'm just waiting till the shine wears off" What does it mean SHINE? a, shine as light? b,shine as noise? I was looking for my dictionary and 'the shine'=light and noise too!?
The Oracle replies:
Well it actually refers to neither, but it's more to do with light as it refers to brightness, the sheen of a polished finish. I guess as English isn't your first language this is going to be tricky to explain. If I illustrate its meaning by asking you to imagine an Oscar statuette. It's gold, it's shiny and the recipient is very excited to receive it. Literally if you polish it the shine will stay, however if you don't care as much about it as time goes on and neglect to polish it, the shine will wear off. The phrase "shine wears off" originates from this imagery but what it means is: to get bored of. When something isn't new anymore you're not as interested in it. I can't imagine anyone losing interest in an Oscar award but hopefully you'll know what I mean.
