    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!

    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!

    The composition is a tribute to former band member Syd Barrett. Lyrics such as "Remember when you were young?/You shone like the sun" show strong appreciation for the contributions Barrett made to the band. The song's title also echoes Syd's name: S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond.

    Woah, is that true?

    Btw, is there like a site or something which explains the meanings of certain songs?

    Yes, Blinkin, that is true. There's even more to it than that. Syd experimented with a few too many psychedelic drugs in the 60s, and had a bunch of mental health problems. The band had to part ways with him. But they never forgot him.
