Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,
You legend, you martyr, and shine! [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/pink_floyd/shine_on_you_crazy_diamond.html ]
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,
You piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and i'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
And sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Sometimes in the walk of life people start a journey together but somewhere along they separate.. Somebody gets left behind for whatever reasons. To me this song is a tribute to the good times as well as a sad reminiscence of the slow creeping decay that came after and an earnest willing for those left behind to still shine on.

I just think it means that you don't have to be the same to shine. You can be who you are and still be a gem that is priceless. I think it's just saying to keep yourself and don't forget. Shine on. It's an amazing song.

It was a song written about and dedicated to syd barrett. Documents his genius and then his degredation into madness through drugs and inability to handle being in the spotlight of fame.

It's about everyone having a good side to them and for them to let it shine through the bad.
