Shinedown - BRILLIANT Lyrics






Count it down from 10 to 1
Faster than a firefly
Calling out to everyone, are you dead or alive
Quicker than the curious
And brighter than a meteor
Never knowing who to trust can make me insecure

Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out til there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant

Count it down from 10 to 1
Faster than a hurricane
Callin' out to everyone, are you mad or insane
Quicker when you're curious
And better once you realize
Finding someone you can trust, gets results, check your pulse

Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out til there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant

Say it if you're one of us
The beaten and the furious
Been chastised, analyzed for the very last time
It's all the same, believe it or not
But this ain't a game and I'll never stop
So you better run for your life

Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out til there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant

To whom it may concern
I won't crash and burn
Burn, burn
I won't crash and...

Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out til there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant

As the world collides and I fight for air
As I crash and burn like I just don't care
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant

Count it down from 10 to 1
Quicker when your curious
Say it if you're one of us
The beaten and the furious

Are you mad or insane, mad or insane
Are you mad or insane, you'd better run for your life

It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant

    Dead or alive isnt the question. If I can't get up then it means I'm going down

    k.... s....

    Its gonna make my nerves go home. Can can take me over the wall of wings. I'm just in the air.

    k.... s....

    I'm going around like my key can hear a dog whistle. I'm going to hear you knock. PS. I'm going to hear the dog whistle. Do I need to? They keep using it. Is it government testing? It reminds me of fingernails on chalk board.

    k.... s....

    Its the atom of light's sound.

    k.... s....

    Sound can't stop turning ))))
    And light is bending its an iron roll.

    This is my question: What makes us doubt ourselves to the point that we can't be more than what we are?

  5. B.... ....

    First song I am listening to in 2020!!

  6. M.... N....

    Fantastic feel good band

  7. A.... M....

    love this song really helps me up

  8. S.... H....

    I love this Song!

    You are brillant!

    Good luck from Germany!

  9. J.... R....

    Remind me to not listen to your stuff

  10. B.... B....

    I really don't like the abrupt ending on this one, I wish it had the outro like on the album

  11. D.... H....

    Having had the worst year of my life, Thank you Shinedown. Every time i have questioned my self worth, or never thought i was good enough, or not strong enough to get through, i played Shinedown. Every person needs to know they are valued in one way or another. Love people, and be true to yourself!

  12. A.... M....

    Brilliant

  13. S.... ....

    I listened to this album 3 times, but couldnt get in to it. After a year I saw a reaction video to one of the songs and thought "wow, where's that coming from? I don't know this song!" ... and found out it's on the last album. So I gave it another try and now I'm blown away! How the f*ck did I miss all those great songs the first three times? lol
    Brilliant is one of my favorites, not only of this album, but of all Shinedown songs. It's just full of (positive) energy. On a bad day listening to this song not just makes me feel better, it makes me chew bubblegum and kick some ass!

  14. A.... R....

    Hey Mr.Smith and his friends I just want to say y'all have made a way for me to ecscape sad times. Coming from a 12 year old girl I want to say thanks, and I wish I could go to your concert. - Anna Richmond

  15. G.... T....

    Why does this stop abruptly for me? It says that it’s 4:35 long but when I click it it says 3:38 and stops abruptly.

    G.... T....

    i got 3:37

  16. M.... L....

    That one line always gets me. "Never knowing who to trust, and make me insecure.."

  17. K.... C....

    Song cuts out early. Album and live performance just left me feeling awesome.

  18. M.... D....

    Just saw you guys last night in Reno. First time seeing you live. I've listened to Shinedown for years but that was something special last night. YOU GUYS ROCK! Hell of a show.

  19. x.... ....

    Best song a on great album. Great way to end the CD.

  20. T.... K....

    This is in my top 5 Shinedown songs

  21. B.... T....

    Damn I love these guys.

  22. C.... C....

    That bridge- No, this song is something else

  23. D.... ....

    Just listen to those drums!🥁,awesomeness..Damn Barry just wanted to put that out there!!.

  24. K.... R....

    Brilliant! 🤘😁🤘

  25. E.... T....

    Why does it end abruptly at 3:38

  26. L.... H....

    What an album, with such emotion. Such a creation and brilliantly written
    Love it!!

  27. S.... r....

    What’s youtube

    S.... r....

    What are you dumb

  28. M.... 2....

    Attention Attention was 1 year old in the 4th

  29. R.... B....

    One of my favorite Shinedown albums I can not get enough of it

  30. R.... B....

    Awesome I love this

  31. R.... B....

    Brent is brilliant

  32. K.... 2....

    1:12 that transition is godly

  33. R.... L....

    To insult, degrade and berate, because one does or does not like a song(s), is contradictory and disrespectful to Society as a whole (and Shinedown of course). More importantly, it speaks volumes to the lack of character and moral compass exhibited by individual(s). Not everyone likes the same thing, AND THAT"S OK. WE are ALL wired a little differently, and that too, IS OK! Contrary to what some think, We don't have to like everyone, but If we are respectful and courteous to each other, we will ALL be good, TOGETHER. Have a wonderful day!

  34. C.... H....

    This song needs a music video

  35. R.... L....

    This song is Brilliant, in meaning, as well as in name. Bravo! Well done, "Y'all"!

  36. D.... J....

    why in the hell does it end like that

  37. T.... V....

    Brent I want your babies. Xxx

  38. m.... b....

    This song touched my soul!!!

  39. P.... ....

    1.5 Speed
    It's grand.

  40. a.... ....

    My favorite song on the album, hands down. I want to see this live so bad.

    a.... ....

    seen this live may 20th in Indianapolis. they finished the concert with it! was pretty cool!

  41. b.... n....

    hope you play this as will

  42. P.... A....

    it annoys me so much how it just cuts off

  43. T.... J....

    This song is like a happy ending of a movie, perfect ending to a spectacular album

  44. S.... M....

    Ahhh. Listened to the whole album for the first time in a row. I feel released.

  45. S.... W....

    Unique love, speak from your heart.. love shinedown

  46. I.... K....

    Every album is better than the last. And Attention Attention is their best album of all time

  47. t.... v....

    SHINEDOWN WRITES FROM WITHIN MY SOUL, FROM THE WARNINGS AND MONSTERS , WHEN THEY CALL ME A SINNER OR CALL ME A SAINT, FAVORITE OR THE WORST ,AND CREATING A COVER FOR THIS SIMPLEMAN TO ENDURE MY OWN SOUND OF MADNESS. YOUR BRILLIANT TO MY HEART BLEEDING OUT TILL THERES NOTHING LEFT. THANK YOU FOR SHINING DOWN YOUR EVER PRESENT MESSAGES. YOU CLEARLY HELP ME SEE THRU MY DIAMOND EYES.

  52. D.... D....

    "As the world collides and I fight for air
    As I crash and burn like I just don't care

    It's my day to be brilliant"

    I love this

  53. T.... A....

    Most amazing voice I've ever heard, you give me chills Brent Smith

  54. N.... L....

    I think I was always going to be excessive my thoughts can bring incredible highs sometimes when I honk of something exciting and new

  55. G.... L....

    This is good shit. my fav album is this one. im not a huge fan of a few songs but some of these new songs are fucking badass. im also curious why at the stockholm concert you didnt play the album us and them

  56. L.... :....

    Perfect song to end this album

  57. B.... R....

    B R I L L I A N T

  58. L.... :....

    It ends so suddenly

  59. N.... J....

    ..........................................................................................................................................when there are not yet words in the English language that even begin to scratch the surface of the emotion you are feeling. Everything makes sense. I make sense. Its like I've been standing in the pouring rain for long I don't realize I'm drowming, and then I hear this song, and an umbrella shields me, and I finally see clearly.... And there's a rainbow......thank you :)

  60. M.... T....

    Love this band it's my whole life

  61. S.... _....

    Shinedown is one of the only things keeping me alive. I've been listening to their music daily for years now. School started for me about 6 weeks ago again and since I have to repeat 8th Grade I got into a completely new class and I literally didn't know anyone. I still have trouble making friends and talking to my classmates bc of social anxiety and depression. Everytime I'm on my way home I feel exhausted from school, then I listen to Shinedown and I feel better. No matter which song I listen to. During my worst times in my life the past few years Shinedown (and one other band) got me through it. Shinedown has probably saved so many lifes, including mine.

  62. E.... H....

    this song is brilliant

  63. S.... R....

    Love, love, love this song. The entire album is epic.

  64. R.... G....

    thank you!!!!!!!!

  65. D.... A....

    When i first heard this song i was thinking “hey alright, we are getting another one like special” then the next verse came in and ripped my fucking spine out with suprise

  66. M.... M....

    Acoustic version would be really cool

  67. x.... ....

    heard this during a celtics playoff game like the music they play right before a commercial break, i replayed it so many times to find the lyrics so that i could look it up on youtube lol

  68. f.... 1....

    This album really speaks to me right now because where I am in life, these songs describe it perfectly. It makes me feel like these songs were personally made

  69. J.... M....

    I was listening to this song while playing the fourth act of diablo three and it was an a+ choice

  70. J.... F....

    Literally my theme song of the year I strive for under challenging times. My wife bought me the LP (yes vinyl) and just fell in love with this song.

  71. M.... D....

    Come to Wisconsin please!!

  72. E.... A....

    Is it me or the line that goes "As the world colides and i fight for air" My favorite line?

  73. L.... K....

    okay so first, I loved your two previous albums, but I can't stand this one. On the fifth, there were two or three songs I didn't like. On this one, there are only two I DO like - Creatures and this one. But, I didn't like those extra sounds at the end, steps, creaking floor, closing door... when you want to listen to it outside the album (e.g. in a playlist with your other songs that I actually love), it's just irritating. So I was so happy that you put the official audio without it. Except... what is with that silly cut? A ten year old could do it better.

  74. J.... H....

    this song is brilliant

  75. t.... B....

    This band has brought so many people to peace and United them. There songs and cured depression and given the meek self esteem. No doubt that they are the voice of a new generation of clear thinkers to come.


    Shinedown is the voice of freedom anew, for the next generation and they shall be praised for this.

  76. M.... ....

    I wish i could see you in concert in Orlando, but I can't afford it

  77. S.... W....

    Brilliant! Bravo!

  78. A.... H....

    Who will I see on oct 11?!?!?

  79. J.... S....

    Love this so much

  80. X.... 5....

    why does it cut off at the end?

  81. b.... ....

    Shroud brought me here

  82. T.... ....

    Best song on the album! Not sure about the strategic placing of this as the last song, but well done.

  83. J.... H....

    this needs to be a 1 hour version

  84. A.... B....

    When you pass the test.





    IT'S MY DAY TO BE BRILLIANT!!!!

  85. B.... T....

    This sounds like MCR for some reason

  86. S.... �....

    As you said. Brilliant

  87. S.... L....

    Why does the video end prematurely

  88. D.... M....

    The 100 people who disliked this, dickride lil pump and pussy rub cardi b

  89. M.... ....

    These are some deep songs

  90. R.... V....

    This album is what we all needed. Thanks Shinedown!

  91. L.... !....

    Thie version doesnt have the outro, its only on the cd version where he says "Until next time"

  92. A.... S....

    Wow! Love this new CD by Shinedown! Great tune and I am a fan for the last 18 years for sure

  93. W.... J....

    albums great and great work guys Ive only just started listening to you and y’all doing something amazing and my favorite song from shinedown is sound of madness and second chance

  94. R.... B....

    This album is pretty good rock album

  95. J.... H....

    The narcissist anthem!

  96. T.... L....

    Love it
