about

Pulling back the curtain on the secret world of the introverts, Magdalia’s debut single ‘Shy to Shine’ will take you into her world of crystallised tears and waterproof mascara. This exceedingly raw and honest song puts her heart on the line and shares the vulnerability and struggle of being a quiet artist in this loud world.

lyrics

Try a little harder
Be a little better
No one seems to hear you Come on speak louder
Push yourself outside Stop trying to hide Maybe if you tried it You’d find out you like it

But how do I know if what is mine Is good enough
I’m too shy to shine
I hold my breath And I bite my tongue Never feeling like
I’m good enough
Wait my turn
And bide my time Here and now I’m too Shy to shine
Shy to shine
Shy to shine
Here and now
I’m too
Shy to shine

Why can’t you hear me
I feel like I’m screaming No one ever taught me How I’m supposed to be Everything
Maybe I can love me
Without bending and breaking Maybe I can love me
Even with nobody listening

But how do I know if what is mine Is good enough
I’m too shy to shine
I hold my breath And I bite my tongue Never feeling like
I’m good enough
Wait my turn
And bide my time Here and now I’m too Shy to shine
Shy to shine
Shy to shine
Here and now
I’m too
Shy to shine

Shy to shine
But don’t you dare cry Shy to shine
Just live your life
Shy to shine
But don’t you dare cry Shy to shine
Just live your life

But how do I know if what is mine Is good enough
I’m too shy to shine
I hold my breath And I bite my tongue Never feeling like
I’m good enough
Wait my turn
And bide my time Here and now I’m too Shy to shine
Shy to shine
Shy to shine
Here and now
I’m too
Shy to shine
